Thank you and yeah completely agree we 17 owners def need some tuning options. I recently had the car Dyno’d, made great power but the entire graph looked like crap. So many dips in power that if tuning could smooth out the power band it would be it would really make the RCF that much quicker.

So with the Apexi, it worked great for like the first month but after that i would have these random days where the car felt so sluggish, almost like i had locked up brakes, just so much resistance when accerlating but if i had that issue i could turn the car off and someone that resistance was gone 95% of the time. But before all that, even just programming the Apexi to save settings was like trying to decipher da Vinci’s code, where as the pedal commander was literally plug and play. Also with the Apexi i threw constant brake malfunctions indicators to a point where the car was not driveable, once i disconnected it the car ran fine. Also the pedal commander gives you 35 different points of throttle accerlation, you can literally fine tune how much accel you want. It’s so user friendly and saves your settings every time. Seriously, if you’ve owned the Apexi and give this a try you’ll never look back. I haven’t had a single issue with my pedal commander in the 6 months I’ve had it on.

Kelowna, overlooking the lake. Amazing to drive thru the Rockies, did the 1600km loop thru interior, Okanogan and Revelstoke.
Rung out the engine and took full advantage of its capabilities.

Very cool. I am sure it must be a lot of fun especially through the windy roads in the mountain around Golden BC etc.

Strange. I never had any issue with my Apexi. It must be the installation or something else. Like the (very old) commercial said: "I wouldn't leave home without it".

I've also never had any problems, but I never use it anymore. I need to take it out at some point. More pedal should do the same thing, the apexi just changes where in the pedal travel it happens.

Tysons Corner shots, nice. Actually, back when I was torn between an Audi RS5 and the RCF, I'm pretty sure I saw yours in Merrifield and that helped decide things for me. I don't think there's another white RCF in town with that spoiler and similar wheels, at least.
