Call me paranoid, but in looking at page 7 of the Owner's Guide, I see that not only does the car's "black box" record speed, but also the steering wheel position and a bunch of other things. It would appear to me that your insurance company and /or law enforcement could easily use this against you for the smallest thing. It would also appear pretty easy for Ford to void the warranty, which is a worry to a lot of people. From the small amount of information in the Guide, it may even be that there is more than one Data Recorder in this thing.
I want this gone, even if it means a whole new computer. If there are software or hardware solutions, I'd be happy to hear if anyone knows about them or has any ideas.
Forget fancy wheels and which exhaust is better. This is a pretty big issue: Big Brother sure appears to be watching.
I'm glad I'm using the GT for a daily driver and my Buick for real performance pleasure.
