This is a good point.
I find that cars/trucks with electronic throttles are hyper-sensative and the pedal slopes programmed in are designed to give more throttle response with less pedal movement, making them very touchy. I'm working on reprogramming that in my rig, but in the interim, have been thinking about some way to increase tension on the pedal.
With my F-150, if you take a deep breath, you can effect the throttle. Sneeze and you're doing 90! Seriously, most times I can manage good throttle control, you have to work pretty hard at it. Too hard, IMHO.
