Whatever it is I hope it improves our car 1/4 times performance.....

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
any hints as to what or are you just going to tease us?
There's really only a few things it could be to increase traction, right? We have upper arms, lower arms, tension arms, and rubber bushings everywhere. We could either switch out rubber bushings for delrin bushings (not sure if this is feasible on factory parts) or replace the parts with stronger alternatives with delrin bushings already included.

Either way, I'm excited.

Sorry, can't offer much, especially until we know if it's going to work as intended.
 
hmmmm sounds to me that it's some kind of tuning solution. Maybe you've found a way to mess with launch control?
I doubt it ...... but I hope you are right ....

If history with BMWs tells us anything, it's that launch control / 2-step modifications are going to require a back end flash to work properly.

I agree we will need an ecu tune .....aka back end flash if we want to use BMS terminology.

Our JB4 2STEP launching definitely requires flash tuning so we can change around injection timing and other advanced parameters. And that stuff isn't for the faint of heart, lol.

I bet the awd stinger would not make it one launch that hard. I’d love for someone to try though....
