With the way government works, especially in CA, we'll be waiting another 2 years.
So here's the weirdest thing about that phone conversation with Mountune. They tell me, why don't you just buy the Cobb from us and get a custom tune from our tuner (Randy). My first thought was....well, these folks don't really care if they sell their (Mountune Packages) vs anything else they have for sale. I was like, if I go that route will that be Warranty Friendly? He was like, nope, but to be honest with you sir, we have worked with soo many Fiesta St's in the last 4-5 years and the likely-hood of something voiding the warranty because of an engine blowing up or something is unheard of.
He even told me that in the local area, Ford actually has a guy who's only job is to respond to warranty claims on possible tuning related damage, and he reports back to Ford Corp., this guy goes from one dealership to another doing said job in his assigned region. He would be the one doing deep dives into the ECU looking for a flash. And unless they have one of those guys in my area, the chances of me having a problem with a Cobb Flash tune related warranty issue is basically zero.
Did he convince me? Well, I've have/had a Cobb AP on my GTI, EVOX, and my old Speed3, so I knew about all this already, (not including the Tune Hunter dude), I was just trying to play it safe this time on a brand new car, cause I know once i do a Tune, i can't help but fully hooking up the car with everything I can throw at it. I am no longer waiting for the the Mountune Kit anymore, just don't think it's worth it anymore, one of the reasons I bout the FiST was to have fun with, but I hate having a stock car knowing there is so much more potential available....plus a freaking Veloster Turbo tried to race me today, which blows my mind since usually the only cars that usually try to race me in my GTI or EVOX are cars over 300+HP cars esp. muscle cars. I couldn't help but laugh, now I have to worry about Veloster's pulling up on me now??
