Re: Quick review - 2008 Grand Prix

So I was looking around under the hood last night. There's no throttle cable. Heh heh, I'd read about the "drive by wire" thing a while back. It's pretty interesting. The throttle body, which used to have the throttle cable and about 4 different sensors, now has one large black electronic module, and that's it. Driving the car, you wouldn't notice a difference, I mean, it accellerates as you'd expect.
