Re: Different ECU programs for different folks?
What I'm about to say may be a little esoteric for a public forum... I should know better... but here goes:
I'm glad that the programming can't be changed. I also love driving underpowered cars. My reason? I like the creativity that is brought forth by limitations.
A fast, performance car that does everything "as it should" is not nearly as much fun for me as one that I have to work harder and THINK to drive it well. I'd much rather make the most of 100 horsepower than be self-indulgent with 300... I would be bored to death by the excess, and challenged far less to get the most from the car in day-to-day driving.
It thrills me that my mileage plummets when I hit the next hill. That is where the game is played, learning to drive the hills better. My fun is all centered around the mileage gauge.
The same notion is true in other domains of my life. I love having clients that have NO budget. I love living in a too-small house. I love that every day I live is one day less for me. It's all about making the most from what I have.
Thank God I'm not a millionaire. And I love my TCH, just as it is.
