I have to say, the Elise has the most advanced ECU I've ever personally driven. During my test drive, my chaperone said the car hadn't been driven yet that morning, and he needed to get the oil temp up to temperature, because if it was still in the cold range, the ECU wouldn't allow the higher cam profile to kick in. (And he wanted to me to feel the kick.)
I have never driven a car that has this level of electronic control.
Nor have I driven a car that allows transient redline bursts.
Question: What other ECUs have these qualities, or similarly high-tech attributes?
Does the E46 M3 let you go past 4000rpm with a cold engine, or do the lights simply "warn" you not to?
