MK7 GTI now feels like a GTI (DTE Systems Pedal Box)

[Snoopy]

I know what Exonian is trying to explain.
If I step from the imediate throttle responce of my mk1 to the slower responce mk6 my mk6 feels so much slower and needs what seems like half throttle to even get any responce. Even stepping from my leon TDI PD to the mk6 has this same feeling as the leons throttle map is not flat and much more responsive at part throttle openings. Which makes it nicer to drive round town.
The mk7 GTI suffers the same as the 6  if not worse in the couple ive tried so far.
I guess the problem if you want to call it that is Exonian and myself dont just drive modern cars so have not been reprogrammed to they must be better.. I own cars from the 50s, 60s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s to compare it too and throttle responce like steeeing feel has deteriated dramatically over the years sadly.
In truth if I think about it to me cars now are too dull and detached.
I can see were a pedalbox would improve the throttle feel if you will as it would change it to more like my leons but the leon can can catch me out when I realise the latter part of the throttle doesnt react as well as the first part or like the mk6 in its later half which can give oh crap moments. Which is why I still prefer the mk1 throttle responce. Imediate responce and the last part of the throttle opens a second larger butterfly on inlet and it give a nice kick.

Had another tinker with the settings yesterday in a quiet drive along a bit of slowish dual carriageway.
First thing I did was get rid of all the 'Sport' settings on the in-car menus as the 'Sport' engine setting does nothing but make a horrible vibrating misfire noise through the sound actuator - nothing like as nice a noise as the mk6 had.
The steering and everything else was put to 'Normal'.

And then a quick play with the PedalBox settings, but after a short time I put it back to where I had it previously in a happy 'middle of the road' setting. Ideal for winter driving, the car can now be trickled along slowly with no hunting and feels much more flexible and civilised than the factory 'all or nothing' set up.
The best way I can liken it was to when I had my first mk6 GTI with REVO software that was too brutal to use on winter roads so I used the REVO low octane fuel map which was nice and smooth with a lovely power delivery but obviously much less BHP than the 260 it put out on 98 RON mapping. Quite often more powerful is not quicker though.
