Has anyone else heard the rumour that some AV's will have an electric throttle?

Grunter · 05-28-2002, 20:02

I don't think so... where would you plug it in?

:s3

You'd need a very long cord...

No electric throttle for AV..

They would have to do that as a retro kit to fit the old telstars anyway wouldn't they, seeing as that is the only AV in ford's lineup :s6:

i heard it was actually going to be cordless - so you can shit it to a comfortable position for your foot. Simply velcros to the carpet.

I heard they were going to give you selection of game console ports, so you could plug in a PS2, Gamecube or X-Box controller and drive the car with that instead of using the steering wheel, clutch, brake and accelerator.

I can't wait! I've got my new leather Momo PS2 controller ready to go. Analog mode with vibration on so I know when the ABS has activated. The L2 and R2 buttons become the gear shift up and down, L1 and R1 are the indicators, X is the horn, the O, triangle and square are the cruise control buttons. I might need a second controller to handle the stereo controls!
