this deal is done.

Yeah, except for that guy that complained about me liking straight lines last night

This is it. It's worth it. And honestly, good on the dealer for turning down the work.

You rang ??

Y’all are nuts. OP is right, might come off as bonkers, but barely any of us (there’s a few exceptions of course) really know to drive. I definitely don’t. And we really could use more talk about twisty racing vs straight line power. Twisty racing is hard, that’s why I don’t do it.

yeah. I know they are. ☹️

software locked though, not hardware. so it's not that big of a deal. Just needs a bench unlock.

I was successful in my 20s as well, and attribute 100% (maybe 80% of it, they're not technical folks) of it to mommy and daddy. My parents weren't financially successful, but good parents, and knew how to work hard. I just took that hard work they taught me about and applied it to a more...

There are plenty; this particular process has been done for a while. Bimmetech has been doing it all summer on BMWs, and cloning ECUs isn't a new process. There's no reason to believe that it wouldn't work. If the car starts on old hardware, your clone was successful and you're gold. I don't...
