Ok, so trying to bring this a little more on topic.

Let's step back and look at this logically, and review what has happened, and what we know today.

1. NOT a siemens processor. it is Delphi

2. not a locked bootloader, at least on the ECM (which is really all that matters, who cares if it can be flashed across the bus, it's not like these are bonded into the car)

3. if they don't lock truck (a much larger market for tuning, and flashing back to stock for warranty scams) they won't lock corvette

4. it's an entirely new ecm family, not an ecm currently used by ANY other OEM

again, maybe you are right, and yes, people should choose their shops with caution. I am glad we are buying a shop car, and have over 4 years of DI tuning under our belt to prepare for this day.

I am glad that tuning support is, and will be available.

BTW, I assume you don't know who GTPPrix is, and I know you two are having a heated discussion, but the guy does know a thing or two about GM and how their vehicle integrations operate and function. He's passionate for sure, and that is a good thing to have with a car guy.
