Wouldn't be surprising, but someone, someday, will crack the code.
It's a German thing that could become a more broader affected item. It all comes down to the ECU (BOSCH) in this case that is used. the 2018 S4s were just cracked recently (<1year ago), but its taken up until <6months for the tune to become "usable"/reliable. With the initial tune release, the ECU had to be taken out and sent to the tuner. This is the reason why the JB4 market is so big now with many more users wanting a flash at home process and easy install/deinstall.Yeah you got a point, I'm sure the new GR86 and BRZ will also be very tuner friendly as well.
I think it might just be a European thing, i did some more reading on the Supra thread and they talked about using Bosch's new ECU which apparently affects BMWs and Audis and probably other European brands; The Toyota Supra is affected because we all know it's a BMW.
Hopefully they can get a tuning solution or can figure out how to crack it on their side and I hope the Z won't have that problem.
I hope so. I definitely plan (hope) to add one. The sticker on the Supra is pretty high and they are’s selling above sticker in some markets, but that’s the current craziness.I think that's a fair assessment. The Supra will out perform it, but the Z is a heck of a lot cheaper.
Is that with AWD?That seems really off. The Q60 does 0-60 in 4.4 sec and it is about 600 pounds heavier than the Z and has the old 7 speed while the Z will have the new 9 speed and be lighter . I'm expecting it to be thr same as the Supra when real world testing is done.
It can be hard to get the Supra to hook up off the line, that’s for sure.That seems really off.

ng he didn’t assess is the look…and we all agree, the Z is a much nicer car to look at
