Just got the reprogramming done this morning for the recall. I've only driven it from the dealership to the office, about a quarter mile, and can definitely feel a significant lack of throttle response. It has the throttle response of a 1970s vintage classic. The 30 mile drive home should help the computer get back up to speed.
