Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - How's the Drive-By-Wire (DBW) throttle?

I'm considering getting the Z, and would like to find out more about the DBW system. Is the DBW on the 370z responsive to your pedal input? Do you notice any dead spots or lags throughout the rpm range under various driving condition and pedal input? For example, if you are cruising on the freeway and let off the gas pedal completely, and then reapply the gas pedal again. Does the engine respond with smooth transition, or does it feel abrupt during the throttle off/on?
