Great write up and loads of useful info here. Should be sticked!
Yes, that is the main problem with them. This whole thing came about because as I became faster on the track (I always track with DSC and DTC off), the car would exhibit extremely strange behavior. It would cut power, the brakes would be all over the place, but the most frustrating thing was that it would not throw a code. I would have to apologize to people following me on-track for erratic driving, saying stuff like: "I swear to God, I am being smooth on the throttle but the car is cutting power by itself!" It sounded like excuses, but it was true.

I thought I was going nuts - I knew something was wrong with the car, but all of the systems said it was fine. Once I started researching and coding stuff off, it was as if I had gotten a new car. I knew I wasn't crazy!
