Picture show some sort of sensors? They are on the corners of the overhead lights. Some sort of anti-theft motion sensor?

Info please

They can tell if you are "racing" with it and your warranty is automaticaly voided.

Does your GT have an auto dimming mirror?

I did not remember seing it as an option, but the way they face towards the rear window, makes you wonder

They are the sonic interior motion detectors. I believe they put off an ultra sonic sound that reflects off the interior and window glass, if motion is detected the alarm is set off.

This is the reason you should roll up your windows when you intend to activate the alarm. Without the glass to reflect the sound exterior motion such as cars going by or people walking by, can be detected.

Keep in mind that your computer keeps track of everytime you hit fuel cut-off.

whats the point of adding a safety feature if its not safe?? the car is meant for speed so they can't punish you for pushing the car to their safety levels

ever see the acura commercials? they advertise redlining

I said "Fuel Cut-off" not "Fuel Shut-Off"

Fuel cut off occurs when you rev the engine too high. The computer momentarily cuts off fuel to the engine to keep it from reving even higher. The computer also records the event. The info can be then downloaded.

Your're thinking of the fuel shut off inertial switch that shuts off the fuel pump until you hit the reset button.
