[QUOTE="Jeremiad, post: 115203, member: 3108"] While I'm at it, I might as well go ahead and voice my opinion about CAGS and cylinder-deactivation too. CAGS (Computer Assisted Gear Selection) is redundant to the fact that I chose a manual transmission to begin with, so it was the first mod to disable it. *I* will decide which gear to be in at any given time, thank you. I often do 1-2-4 shifts, or 1-3-5, or whatever i choose. 1-4 does NOT save gas. Cylinder deactivation is also stupid. It sounds good in theory, but those deactivated cylinders are still connected to the crank and don't have a choice but to move anyway. Why not give them a spark anyway and let them do what they are supposed to do? Think about it. The pistons still have to move. The valves still have to move. The cylinders still breathe in (air and oil from PCV and bypass), and out, but don't get to burn on every cycle. How is this more efficient? Clearly, it isn't. Wonder why your C7 barks black when you plant it? I don't. That is exactly why. [/QUOTE]
