Is the throttle response changed for both "E" and "S" modes? Is there a way to tune the "S" mode to have the better throttle response but keep the "E" mode as is? Reason being for the times where you just want to take it easy and drive slow without being so sensitive with the peddle...maybe someone from Eurocharged can chime in.

yes it's changed for both E and S modes, and we can look into doing that, but it is not that way currently.

That would be really neat as an option. That way if you're concerned about extra wear from more power or more aggressive shifting you can just put it in normal mode for your daily commute.

Shaz, this is great to hear and your review makes it even more tempting.

Can you give us an idea of how the car feels just driving it normally during a daily commute or in other words, not mashing the pedal through the gears haha. Does the car still start in 2nd gear when in "E" mode? Thanks!

Allen,

To be honest i have not even put the car in E mode lol. I am having just way too much fun right now in S mode. I will give it a try later on today and let you know how it is. But so far, the tune has just made this car so much more fun to drive. The power is there at the touch of the pedal.

Shaz,

Any update on the dyno? Also, now that you have been driving with the tune for a few weeks, has your sentiment changed at all towards the way your car drives?

Allen,

Sorry, i have not made it to the dyno as of yet. Still seeing which shop i want to go too. As far the car drives, it drives great. I still feel the same way about the car when i first installed the tune. Regular driving the car is great, and when you want to get into, she sure does get into it. So far, not one single regret; even though ill be needing rear tires faster now
