I have moved on from my crappy 400whp 00 Camaro to a little 4 cyl. 4 dr. Mitsu. as my DD. I'd like to bump into your "supernova" with my 4 cyl. turd. lol and we're close enough it could happen! Last year the Mitsu only went a 12.59@109. Now I'm off the stock turbo and cams.... hmmmm... (Bring CASH. DIG RACE.)

In a catastrophic failure situation ford requires a full freeze frame of all ecu data. You can reprogram the ecu back to factory parameters but you cannot delete the history in the PCM. The only thing you MIGHT get away with is if you were to buy a second PCM, program it and leave the factory one in the car. However the factory PCM mileage wont match with the odometer mileage (the odometer has its own internal memory that cant be reflashed) and ford will want warranty documentation for the gaps. The most you can get away with (aftermarket wise anyways) would be a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust. The magnuson moss act allows for modification of a vehicle before the throttle body and after the catylytic converters. However if something happens and they can prove either modification caused the problem, you're SOL. Now I'm sure there will be a full catalog of ford racing parts for those cars in about 6 months, as long as they are installed by a certified dealership, you will have no warranty problems. Hopefully this helps your descision. Personally, while I still dont like mustangs, I think the car is the best its been since the 60's/70's with the exclusion of the 03/04 cobra of course. Nice cars, just not for me. I'll take my "worn out" 8 year old fbody anyday.
I think I'm gonna pass even though I can get a pretty good deal. They ARE sharp cars though...
I talked with a friend that says ANY modding of the new stuff is not such a good idea if you want to keep your warranty....
