And one other "smart" comment I didn't put up over on the other thread: did you manage to burn out the stability control light? I got one on a _______ freeway onramp the other day (not a cloverleaf): NB13 to EB24, think Caldecott Tunnel for you Bay Area people. Grrrrrrrrr.........

I asked the user defeatable traction control and removal of the speed governor be priority #1 for the WORKS ECU development program.

Actually, we learned a lot about the driving dynamics of the Fortwo at Infineon - some good, some bad, but all in all, a very capable little car.

David,
Great ! What performance mods do you have or envision? I saw the K&N. Others?

Other than Brabus, who else does so?

Thanks,
