I wish manufacturers would be allowed to try stuff in the EPA test cycle. Like an economy button with different shift points and tunes, or even something like this. They have to run the test in the normal mode. They can't make the normal mode the gutless mode or they get hammered in road tests and by the general public. By not allowing them to show you just what they could do while still retaining the 'fast and the furious' wannabe ability I think makes them not as interested in trying. That and the EPA will sue them even at any opportunities even if it doesn't affect emissions.
