its kinda like the early days of the honda K series. before hondata, it was 1000 posts a day about SRI vs CAI and what cat back can give you 10 hp. after hondata? the sky's the limit... so once this car's ecu is cracked, if ever, then it's time to throw that warranty away...
interesting, so you would throw away the warranty and put down the extra dollar for more unwarranted fun.

Lets say from day one the entire car is moddable but voids the warranty, and you bought the car at sticker price the first month. You would immediately break the warranty?

This is really interesting to me, because the larger overall premium you pay for fun. Because its a new car. vs getting similar cars or older sports vehicles for cheaper prices for the same fun factor.
