It is noticeable but after getting used to it it's not that bad. Usually when I need to speed up fast I hit the gas hard enough to downshift anyways. From a dead stop I can't really feel a lag, but at part throttle you will notice it some.
It seems to go away altogether in tow haul mode.

ive been looking into the newer v-10 lately i think i can live with the electronic throttle but im sure i would miss the instant response of my 04 mechanical throttle. tuning sounds like a good idea for that reason

I've heard a lot of complaints about the drive by wire throttle. But I've also heard that a tuner fixes that so whenever I get one, a tuner will be ordered the same day.

Here's a link to a fix that seems to really help. I never actually looked that closely at my truck gas pedal, but I'm sure it is the same as the in my Mustang. This worked well for me on my Mustang. It's worth the read.
And, a knowledagable tuner can make some adjustments to also help tthe throttle to feel more cable like, but there is always going to be just a touch of "not quite the same" feel as if it was a cable.
