Bugger left home at 7:55 for the short sprint to Eastern Creek to meet up with the rest of the group, on the way I received a call inquiring about the run, as all responsible drivers do with no hands free I pulled over on the Westbound ramp to the M4 freeway for a chat! After a brief conversation I lead footed the pedal on the Vett as you do to get up to speed onto a freeway, but there was one problem the accelerator Cable jammed with 4 barrels singing
Mmm what to do, apply brakes No! Select Neutral No. turn the ignition off yep, that worked. Here’s a picture of the culprit. Firewall side
Thank you to the guys that offered assistance. I would like to see some pictures of the day that I missed out on.

Rotten luck, mate.
I had a similar thing happen to me in a Mazda years ago on the Warringah Expressway, except the return spring broke and, because of poor design, that pulled the throttle wide open and the donk was redlined. Turning off the ignition did nothing as it was pre-igniting by then. I stalled it by pulling the choke out. That would be no good today as there ain't no choke.
