It's weird. The BRZ is the first car I've modified the engine on and I probably won't do it to another. However, I've been following both this and the EPA going after people who sell tuning software; even those who do sell for racing use only. Something I felt passionate enough about that I did send an email (based off a template) to my local congressman in support of the RPM act. Sadly the only thing it achieved is now my inbox gets spammed with partisan BS and outright lies about everything that crosses the house and senate. With no way to opt out.
