Nice work on finding this. I am considering doing it tomorrow. My TRAC light came on a while back and my car hesitates like a mother... Wonder if by removing my TC it will go away... If I do this all I will share.

You won't see them issued anytime soon, with Crye Associates not having a contract with the Government being the main reason.
Each uniform throughout the service branches has its meaningful purpose. Switching the entire Marine Corps (most likely to adapt to a new pattern) would be rather difficult. I say that because logistically, the Marine Corps. is the smallest self contained branch. Besides, the product is still being tested. Nothing against the Army, but they should have adopted a color similar to these new fatigues instead of they're current ones. I'm in Iraq right now; and the Soldiers out here stick out like sore thumbs. My .02s.

Lets start an SC Iraq team... lol
Black on Tan SC400 here... Currently in Baghdad (Camp Striker)
Btw... You're right about the uniforms... But I still like the update.
Have you seen the AirForces new boots though??? LOLOLOLOL they're green... Looks really odd...

Interesting concept. Reminds me of those weapon-r throttle rotors that would reduce pedal effort.
My main concern is that if the throttle is that instant, wouldn't that give you less room for error? For example, imagine going through a turn and you want to speed up just a tad. Pressing down on the gas pedal would require less effort which may result in more undesired speed during the situation. Your foot would have to be able to move in small increments and remain pretty steady to add the proper amount of gas and prevent you from possibly losing control. Although, I'm sure the throttle was set to lag a bit from the factory for the average driver in order to prevent loss of control due to natural conditions and driver skill level.
Pretty interesing though as it can be adjusted to personal preference. I mean the more skillful the driver is, the tighter the throttle can be set and vice versa.

BTW, the increments are still the same, from the point where the cable actually starts to pull.

Yeah, I think it is classified under one of those things where it's a little problem, but makes a big difference. I did the same to mine, and it felt so much better driving it. It takes that inch of dead spot where the throttle doesn't engage away.

Simple, and some may have already done this, But i wanted to share with the SC community my findings, its awesome, throttle response is absolutely insane and it revs up so much faster and under load the acceleration has increased dramatically with out affecting the idle speed or anything
