My 96 Geo Metro has a throttle stop!!!

While I was removing 70 lbs from my Geo I saw something I had never seen before.....under the gas pedal was a bracket welded to the floor that had a large bolt threaded into it.....I pushed down with my hand and found that limited the pedals movement......I lowered the bolt to get more throttle and took it for a ride...WHAT a difference!

Whenever I nailed the pedal to the floor in traffic it used to act like it had 40 hp instead of 55, now it seems like 65hp!

Have anyone else found this???
