touchy throttle

hey guys i am wondering if anyone else thinks that the pros throttle is extremly touchy. Cause I have had my pro for a year now and I haven't found another four-banger that is so touchy. Most of my friends think the same thing. just wondering if anyone else felt this. plus i think that the gears were very well suited for this car.

No, it's the throttle configuration...the gearing is very nice for a small car, I've noticed that the throttle is alot more sensitive than any other car I've driven (Focus is the least sensitive)

I've noticed how touchy the throttle is too. Can't complain about it though. It makes the ride more fun.
