I guess my issue is not knowing whether they even tried to reproduce the problem on their end. If the did, and couldn't...well fair enough. In my mind though, I don't know how that'd happen. All they need to do is try to take off gently with some fine gravel under the tires and the car will nearly stall. I think speaking to one of their engineers prior to installing the recorder would help me tremendously.
That's even better! i do notice that upon initial startup, when I reverse out the garage into the street and engage first gear, I do notice it takes a little more throttle than normal to prevent it from falling down and even slightly bucking in some cases. i notice it most when trying to launch, in getting what everyone else is, the car falling down the taking off. If it can be fixed with a tune, then that would at least offer some hope.
