				So do all LS1 cars have this slow throttle response?
			 
 
			
			This drive by wire throttle lag sucks.  Now I think I know why people say the LT1 feels stronger down low, because it responds quicker!  But my 2000 SS will break the tires loose a lot easier than my 96 SS did.  So is there a cure for this lag other than mashing the pedal to the floor faster?

			nope, only the vettes from 97-02 were drive by wire.  the GTOs may be by wire too, im not sure. LS2s are. but i do know camaros and bird LS1s were all cable driven.  Vehicles with traction control are a little odd, The ASR option connects the gas pedal to a "motor" which then goes to the throttle blade.  when asr is activated, the "motor" turns back and closes the throttle, in turn actually pushing the gas pedal back up.

			yes, tuning should take care of it easily.  I havent driven my SS in almost a year and a half so i cant remember what the throttle response was like.  I'll be using HP tuners so if i notice any lag on mine, ill look into dealing with it.

			PSBW?  Yeah, it's a cable(which is actually wire) and the car has traction control.  It's a sloppy cable for sure.

			Tighten up the cable, get a tune and/or modify the T/B to put in a n idle adjusting screw. If you just bump the blade open a little bit it makes a big difference. Mine was always pretty instantaneous, do you have an A4? Could be torque managment or TCS
