Something came alive at 575 miles!

I just hit 600 miles on the odometer last night and it's like the car turned into a werewolf (in a good way). I am thinking the ECU had some kind of limiter since the thing revs higher and faster than before (or at least feels like it). I remember the dealer saying Super Sport mode on the MR wasn't accessible till you passed 600 miles. I wonder if other governors were in place as well.

Be careful of the glittering vampires out there.


On a serious note, I have never heard of a such limiter. Maybe its something new they added in 2012's? I pulled out of the dealer in sport mode and the third time I drove the vehicle was in super sport mode till I realized its pure stupid to drive in super sport unless you are at a track and you really want the ECU to control your shifting. In automatic that is... Sport/S-Sport Manual all day long

Aside from the biggest governor of all, driver skill, probably not.

I still don't know if when going left and right are you still going forward or backwards? and what are the B and A? Now you want to throw a select and start... its starting to be like the Davinci code trying to unlock that.

I was under the impression that the arrows mean go up and down, not forwards or backwards.

I was able to access super sport mode at 14 miles. Not like I drove it hard but none the less there is no limiter that held me back from it other then just being a pain to get into from sport.

OK. In that case, maybe the engine just got broken in more but I'm telling you it was like the car got an extra 20% power. Maybe full moon or year of the dragon...
