Tried ECT power yesterday for the first time and I have to say it makes an immense difference. You can feel the car revving higher and holder its gears longer. Definitely makes it more aggresive and fun to drive.

Im not sure about the 3G GS, I know you guys say you feel a difference with it on. I know in my 1G GS3 on the dyno, with the ECT on pwr, it gave me another 6 hp to the wheels, so there is somethin to that little button. I just thought Id add to this even though you guys have established it does feel more powerful and more fun.

I've had my ECT on for about 3 weeks now, and I've been getting about 25 hwy and 21 city. This is about the same as what I was getting with it off. It takes some getting used to when braking with the tranny downshifting at the same time, but I've gotten used it.
