Pedal Travel
A tech told me that in the new cars a computer can tell the techs how the owner drives the car(aggressive, moderate, conservative, etc). I guess the computer detects how hard the driver accelerates and brakes by measuring speed and pedal travel. Is there any device a novice could buy to measure how hard a driver generally accelerates and brakes?
Went into a dealership last night and one of the salesman told me he always uses 50-80% of his throttle off the line even in traffic, the other salesman laughed and said he uses only like 20%. Hard to believe driving styles could be so different and that the cars pick up on this and adjust accordingly.
By the way, the first guy who accelerates hard said he's not hurting the car but rather "helping" the engine lol
