It would be interesting to see if your shift points, or rev limit were moved in the InMotion tune you got for your ECU, Bikecop.

If it doesn't do it at the track, that is telling me clearly that its traction related, because your rev limiter would still be at the same point at a drag strip, and just as easy to hit...traction compount on the pavement below you, however, would keep your tires from starting to break loose and kick in any traction control.

This means that this is either the rev limiter causing this, as I had first thought, or...its a traction control element that is not even defeated with fuses 17 and 18. There could be a third layer to traction/stability control in these cars that controls the "limited slip" bahavior of the open rear end.

layer 1 = defeated by the button on the console
layer 2 = defeated by the removal of fuse 17 and 18
layer 3 = we still dont know how to defeat it

This is pretty confusing.

My tranny doesn't appear to be leaking, cruizinquik, but my car did sit in storage for 2.5 years before I bought it, so the transmission fluid could well be gummed up or less effective because of that. Maybe I could have my transmission fluid flushed and fresh fluid put in? Can that be done on this car? I heard it has a sealed transmission with no drain plug.
