Default Ah crap... really
I snapped a throttle cable on my 05 SGC, went to the local dealer and they don't stock it. They got a nice braided one for 50.00! Really I just want a standard cable, nothin fancy! You can have the bling, I want function! Anyone know where I can get one?

Did you ask them to do a dealer search? A good dealer would do that for you.

Don't use that EFI word with Frank, he'll get upset! He's carbed.

Thanks for the offer guys. I've got one indy in town to check with on monday. Meanwhile I guess I'll get by with the return cable. I wonder how many upgrades to braided they sell by not having stock ones on hand?
