CabinBuilder Admin	# Posted: 29 Sep 2015 05:07pm Reply I have a feeling that most (if not all) car manufacturers do similar trickery. Now they are all scarily hiding behind DMCA (1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act) which makes it unlawful for researchers to review the code controlling their vehicles without the manufacturer's permission. Perhaps WV was pushing the envelope a tad more than others and their trick was more obvious to spot.

VW just got caught, Government just cashing in on a violation that everyone does.How do you think the emissions are on a hellcat?They just pay the fines and build junk that gets good mileage to lower their numbers,it's just a big game.
