If you need passing or onramp speed, you have to push the accelerator past an 80% detent in the pedal's travel.

The accelerator pedal detent is very pronounced so that, in order to bring the V8's spleen up, you really have to hammer the throttle.

There are many constant-force and detached escapement designs, but the most common are the spring detent and pivoted detent.
From the en.wikipedia.org
At the centre of oscillation, a roller on the balance staff momentarily displaces the detent, allowing one tooth of the escape wheel to pass.
From the en.wikipedia.org
On the return oscillation, a passing spring on the tip of the detent allows the unlocking roller on the staff to move by without displacing the detent.

- Pawl: a hinged catch that fits into a notch of a ratchet to move a wheel forward or prevent it from moving backward
- Detent is the term for a method, as well as the actual device, used to mechanically resist or arrest the rotation of a wheel, axle or spindle.
- That which locks or unlocks a movement; a catch, pawl, or dog; especially, in clockwork, the catch which locks and unlocks the wheelwork in striking; The action of creating a detent mechanism to lock or unlock movement
- (Detented (maintained)) The design intention of a device to maintain the state of its last actuation after the operator force is removed.
- A minute divot or dimple machined into the blade tang. A ball bearing drops into the detent hole when the knife is in the closed position, holding the knife blade closed inside the handle.
- A device that either holds the slide open or closed which can be overcome by increased force.
- A mechanism that prevents another part from operating at certain times or at one point in a cycle of operations.
- A click stop, a place where a mechanism is designed to fall into one or another specific settings. This usually consists of a track with valleys in it, along which a spring-loaded part slides. When the spring-loaded part is released, it tends to fall into one of the valleys. ...
- A stop or catch. In electronics usually placed in a variable resistor such as a the middle point of a "pan" control on a mixing desk, to tell you where the "default" setting is.
