i wouldn't worry about it, if it becomes too big of a hasle, there will be people to hack that code an bypass all that "lil parental control big brother crap". in fact, give it enough time an the sport tuner chips, Diablo, Jacobs, JET..etc will be able to bypass the code an keep your peformance good.

nothing is safe,or hacker proof...nothing.

i think auto makers have been doin this for a while tho.. but i don't beleive it can be used as evidence in proscution.

and again agreeing wth SRV, go to the source, not rumor.
