When I'm at higer RPM's and let off my gas pedal, my rpm's dont drop quickly at all. In fact they'll stay up a bit until it seems my engine drags them down. In comparison motorcycles are opposite of this, in that when you let off the throttle the rpms dive down.
I guess my question is whether this is good or bad with regard to daily driving? How about if you're trying a 1/4 mile run?
Is this something that can be tuned so that it revs faster (like a cycle) and if so, what good/bad would come because of it?

I don't know that it would make much difference in daily driving... just personal preference I guess. In the 1/4 mile, slow decay might be useful (at least with a stick shift) to keep the revs up between gears.Originally Posted by mainagent

To a certain extent, throttle decay can be tweaked via tuning. An aluminum flywheel would probably make it wind up/down quicker too.
