(Perhaps you paid $40K for your Crossfire, but that makes it even worse - in my opinion).

I AM NOT GRANNY - OR SOME PRE-PROGRAMMED MODERATE DRIVER. I DID NOT PURCHASE A SEDAN TO BRING THE GROCERIES HOME OR GO TO CHURCH. Nor am I a 25 year old hormone induced fighter pilot in a $50 million dollar fighter jet asking my bird to break the rules of aerodynamics.

I am a consumer, who only asks that my automobile respond to my foot, not some German engineer's pre-programmed C++ code.

There - I got it off my chest.

I love this car - I really do, and so far I have found only ONE FLAW! And I hope I can turn the damn FLAW off.
I was not suggesting that you are any type of driver! I merely trying to give you an example of how the car adapts to driving styles; nothing more... nothing less.

What you paid for your vehicle ($25K or $40K) has no merit in this discussion; the Crossfire and Daimler/Chrysler are what they are(were), and that "BrianBrave" is the real facts you need to deal with.

Whether you buy a SB really makes no difference to me or any other XFi member, nor will it matter to anyone if go toying with the ECU and turn your ($25K car) into a brick.
