#263 of 267 Defeat by e_net_rider

I'm wondering if any of you speedsters figured out how to defy some of the circuitry in place. May not be across all years, but there is a circuit to defeat abusive maneuvers such as WOT from standing start. It is supposed to reduce power automatically.Also has anyone tried getting their computer programed to Autobahn. You can have your computer programmed away from the vehicle, just need VIN. I understand that one of the few differences is the gear ratio difference.

You nuts ?Yes this car has the power.
A 95 is also 4,000 pounds.
They lighten up to about 3600 pounds after that.
Dragging against a car a 1,000 lbs less that weight is foolish.
Think about it.
The Aurora was designed to be a luxury car not a muscle car.
It is quick though isn't it ?
Right out of the factory.
One wonders why we don't keep it that way.

"When I turn ignition its as if the car is dead, no sound nothing. Then I try again and it kicks in like its attempting to start after 3 times or more it kicks in and starts up." -- My Aurora had a similar problem and they replced the lock cylinder and fixed the problem with the car not starting when the key was turned. However the car still has the problem of dying while driving with no warning - sometimes it bucks or sputters and keeps going, somtimes it just conks out but will restart right away. The mechanic can't seem to put his finger on the problem and has fixed or checked out every warning error displayed in the history log of the diagnostic computer. Has anyone else had similar trouble or does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be. Also, when it does this the "Service Engine Soon" light comes on until the car is shut off and when restarted the light apparently resets itself until the next episode.

The best race story i have for my aRORA is a yellow vette and a yellow stang GT were lined up next to each other i pulled up behind the stang not thinking much of it at the time then i realised that they were going to race, i pushed the power button and took off traction control. The light turned green and off they went i stayed back at first not to be a destraction the vette took the stang very easly then it was my turn. i stomped it as i saw the guy in the stang look back at me as i went flying pased him, i just smiled and waved then i caught up to the vette rode next to him for a second then we both took off i kept up with him for a while then he was gone. ps this was all while i had a cylender mis fire. and just last week i had a full tank of gas and a total of 3people in the car. i was crusin down the interstate with the windows down and music up, when i looked in my mirror and saw a cavilier (one of the better racers here ((its fully modified and looks nice for a cavi)) come weaving up on me i rolled up the windows and waited for him to catch up to me and i took off weaving back and forth through traffic keeping him a little ways behind me. we got onto an open streach of road and he got becide me i womped it and took off i kept topping out at 110 ( not autobahn) and he was starting to catch up to me and i reached my exit, got infront of him flashed my hazards at him and it was over.
