Well, we can agree to disagree, though Cobb does agree with my observations (not implying one is either right or wrong, all a matter of taste and how you want/expect the power to be delivered). Here is my take on all the maps:

1. Valet - worthy for its purpose but seldom (if at all) used
2. Simulated stock - not sure what is the benefit of running that vs. just flashing back to stock which takes a couple of minutes
3. Linear throttle maps - 2 of them (91 and 93). Worthless to me as it 'disables' the M button. I dunno why would someone prefer to drive these (other than a more linear indeed throttle which makes modulation easier especially in track conditions), we have an M car, equipped with an M button, which I use intermittently on every drive I take (e.g switch it off when it congestion, on otherwise). So no, I don't want to live without that functionality.
4. Aggressive throttle maps - 2 of them (91 and 93). For those with 93 fuel, really one of use.

So at the end of the day, from a total of 6 maps, there is really only one I would use (the one that keeps the M button 'functional', and sadly no choice on throttle linearity, as you either get one or the other). Their tuners have stated they will be working on having the Linear maps incorporate the M button on and off feature, but allegedly it will take time...

Last I heard, the only 'shop' car they were expecting to get was...in Portland. And that was 6 weeks ago, and not heard anything since. Good to check in and see what the the first 10 weeks of the year have meant in terms of development (or lack thereof)... But its a fair statement that there is a lot of wood to chop...
