SO, I was right, or correctly informed. NOONE has "cracked" the Zr1 ECU. They install a known encryption module onto a different pcm, and give that one to you to put in, and then is tuneable. C8 has many more issues to deal with. 1st being the encryption of the pcm itself




Same as the ZR1

Hardware hack : software hack :: Tomato : to-MA-toe

Saw a c8 intraffic yesterday, it looked WONKY A.F. it actually looked cheap, and suspension was weird, it hit bumps laterally.
Also gap city.
This is not the car people think it is, maybe the Z variant will be better

Don't judge the car until it's gone through final production. That could be a test mule that's slapped together.

Nah. Data doesn't have the intuition of Jordy. Put them together, though, and it'll be done in 2 minutes. Throw Wesley Crusher in there, and it'll be cracked in 45 seconds. LOL
45 seconds after Wesley brings up some girl problem that somehow plays into Data's existential crisis that Jordy ultimately confirms for them both. So at least 15 minutes into the episode.

I don't care much about whether the C8 will be tunable in the future or not, but lol @ the people I've seen on forums that say, "Like 495hp isn't enough". That's something I expect to see from "Moms Against Modded Cars", not on a car enthusiast site.

A friend of mine and I were having this discussion this morning. Someone at his work called his car crazy fast. It's basically a stock 07 Charger SRT8. I made the comment that to most our cars are really fast. But to us they're just meh.
