Default Drive By Wire confusion

So I'm messing around trying to get the idle below 1,000 rpm's using this Haynes/Chilton manual. I'm reading everything its throwing at me when I get to this note that reads:

Note: On 2000 and later models the throttle control system is electronic. There is no mechanical cable, but rather a throttle position sensor at the pedal and electronic motor at the throttle body.

Checking VIN's and all that technical data and I sure enough have a 2002 Trans Am WS6 with an LS1 w/T56 ... So why I have a throttle cable? Or is this manual confused? Any help would be great

All LS1 Camaros and Firebirds had cable actuated throttle bodies. The book you have is incorrect.

the real thing.
