Pedal Commander or Sprint Booster for Lotus Emira Turbo I4

[Rayjoedef]

Curious if anyone is familiar with the accelerator pedal on the Emira. Is it the same as the Evora, Elise, Exige? I've put the sprint booster in many of my turbo cars and its a night and day difference in throttle sensitivity.

Some guys in my group use it for theft prevention.
Set the value to 0.
Even if it's started, they can't drive away with no gas pedal input.

I'm looking to see if there's any hardware/software available that's compatible with the Emira I4 to increase throttle sensitivity.

Doesn't seem like a bad mod for the price. I'm interested.

Website for Sprint Booster lists only Elise and Exige-no Emira.
Sounds like a nice addon though, and would consider primarily for theft/valet use if/when available.

Gain sensitivity, but lose control and modulation of throttle. I don't rate these 'gimmicks' at all.
All they do is increase throttle input compared to pedal input. You apply 10% pedal travel, and it increases it to 20% throttle. You feel like it's more sensitive, but you just have less control. 100% pedal remains 100% throttle, so you don't actually gain anything at the top end of throttle application. What's more, your brain recalibrates to the new pedal positions over time and you lose the 'sensitivity' you thought you gained.
Honestly, save your money and buy a product that actually improves performance.

Nobody mentioned increasing top end with this software. As you put it, if I can get 20% throttle with 10% pedal input by opening the tb quicker, we'll I'm good with that. It's a small, inexpensive plug and play that's made me pretty happy with my other turbo cars.. .of course it does not replace tune or full exhaust.

Check out some reviews out there, pretty good responses

Thanks for the input
