You should hang out on some of the boating forums if you want your head to explode. People talking about "ropes" and "bumpers" and their 25' yachts. At least you could chalk up 1LT vs LT1 as a...

One down side to pulling the fuse will be the annoying boom when coming in and out of 4 cylinder mode. It drove me nuts until I added a tune to keep it in V8 mode all the time. You could also use a...

We've all felt it. It's completely normal and completely resolvable by replacing the tires. I went with Michelin AS4 tires and it no longer happens. Bonus points, I can now safely drive in the rain.
