the car reacts faster to throttle input on the gas pedal - I love it
When you hit the gas pedal there's no delay its kind of like and let me be clear i'm just using this as an example i'm not implying our car responds like an electric car but in an electric car when you hit the gas pedal it just goes no delay that's what the pedal commander does it opens the throttle body faster everyone says it doesn't make the car faster but it gets off the line quicker and reaction time is better in a sense.

Something else that I like for the gas pedal.... Remove it from the car. Two 13mm fasteners. Very easy. Take the side of it off. Small torx fasteners. Inside you will find a pair of return springs that together make it such that one has to really push on the pedal. Annoying. Remove one spring. Outside spring very easy. Presto! 1/2 the effort to mash the gas. I have done this with my 211 E-55, 221 S65, 222 S550 and 222 S65. Never an issue.

I found that on longer trips (I tend to not use cruise control) I would get right leg cramps that.... You guessed it! Went away after removal of that spring.
