I don't get it
I'm starting to realize the car isn't designed as well as I thought... Maybe they needed to give the car to REAL enthusiasts to test before putting it on the market (say different parts of US vs. few locations). I think that way, they would of eliminate 4 year later ECU reflashes, finicky starting issues, excessive gas consumption, etc...
Don't get me wrong, when it runs, its a great car!! But no car I've owned so far has stranded me before like the 8!! Not even my FDs! And in such a short period of time.
And regarding modification, well, I feel that 8 still lacks the capability of modifying and still many years away from what you could achieve from the FD.
