Try a traffic jam on, for example, the Stelvio (Italy) mountain pass? Think a 370Z hand-brake ("emerg brake") will do the job? Unlikely....many cars need two hands or a passenger assistant, where simple "heel and toe" does the job smoothly at low RPM.
Now, to be serious, any electronic gurus out there who can help me?
It amounts to the electronic equivelant of longer throttle control arm(s) at carburetters, Lucas mechanical FI, Bosch Jetronic or a 20 year old quick Nissan !
That will also makes life easier/quicker/safer/more fun... to drive in the wet and helps a lot on snow.
