Not to mention tuners have ran into similar problems when trying to make some power out of the car. A Z06 isn't blowing it's Tremec out the rear end to hit 60. Which is why I've stayed with the driver's car mantra, and not the computer's car.
Well right they are taking a feature used for launching and driving around with it on.... They have a computer that converts power front to back and left to right, turning off that regulation, probably going balls out driving it around town to pick up trim...and they are ****ed when they break something? I mean come on, quit crying already.

Rev that Vette up to 9-10K rpms and see what breaks on it. Take anything in the world out of design intent and it is going to break. There is a reason it has paddle shifters.

Even a computer car, needs the driver to be on key, or you'll end up doing something stupid. You can pick and pull whatever detail you want, and exploit every achilles heel of the car, but it is only because you are intimidated by it and it's impact on your baby. To each his own, but remember, everything has a weak spot. Drive your vette in the rain...
