I think I can agree with that. I think that the cars are pretty much the same after the flash has been done. I honestly think they were trying to "reel in" the power a little bit. Not to say, like you said, that these cars aren't fast, I just think the "ecu flash" somewhat castrates the car.
The cars are definately fast. I just think they could be faster with the correct tune.
I think its much like the whole viper cream puff issue. 1996-1999 Vipers were more stout then the 2000-2002 versions. The 96-99s had forged pistons and lumpy cam and so forth. The 2000-2002s had cast pistons and mellow cam, although both cars pretty much made the same power.
I know were have the same cars..just the "tune" is different. But basically its the same thing.

On the other hand, the problem that some of the flash people are complaining about sounds like it makes a HUGE difference in relation to the previously mentioned comparison. That's all. Mine is not affected by the flash, so I can't say for sure, but many members have commented on how their ride doesn't even want to spin the tires. That is just not right (for an E55K). Hope that makes some logic.
