V6 Switch install????

Yesterday when I was picking my car up from the dealer he was telling me about some switch thing they install and it makes the car more responsive. Has anyone heard of this??? If so could you post a link to what he was talking about.

Thanks!

Sounds like ripoff dealer installed junk to get more money.

They "switch" the v6 paperwork for v8 paperwork.

Seriously, the only switch they could possibly install that would make the V6 more responsive is the one that controls all of this..

You can keep the dealership sticker on the car. It adds 8rwhp

I agree that the guy was probably BSing you....or just doesn't know.

But I'm at least interested to find out what he's talking about. Send them an email and find out what it is and at what cost.

it is called a RUN switch. That is when the dealer tells you to touch your toes and spell RUN repeatedly. R U iN R U iN R U iN ....

The only switch I can think about is already in the car. If you press the switch to disable the Traction Control, it will disengage. But if you press on the same switch for more than 7 seconds, the Stability Track system will also disengage and you will see a secong ligt go on the dashboard. At this tine the car will be by itself and you will have to control it by youself.

That's about the only switch we know about.

Try it but be carefull....
