Drive by wire can give very good throttle response, but it needs to be calibrated for the specific application. If not calibrated correctly, you can end up with holes (meaning when you step into the throttle, you may get no response, then when you step in a little more or in some cases alot more, you get too much) Also, when driving at low speeds and tipping in or out of throttle, the transitions may not be very smooth without a good calibration in place. Something to think about. Good luck with whatever you choose !!
