If you go to McDonald's and you're driving a $100k car, guess what? The price of your happy meal goes up 300%.

Poor AMS, Those tuners like ESS, Mike Benvo etc. selling tunes for less than a $1,000, arent making a profit.

Relax peasant

First of all, no one said anything about 5k for tune. We are talking about 3k that everyone is crying about so let's stay on topic. Wheels and tires matter and matter a whole lot due to unsprung wheel weight and performance of tires. I would gladly pay 5k for wheels that weigh 19lb per corner and super sticky performance tires that deliver maximum grip per corner. My super light 5k wheels and tires probably give more performance than BS air intakes and section 3 exhaust that everyone love to show off that cost just the same as the 3k tune. 3k is not the end of the world especially if you are paying 100k for a car in the first place. I understand concerns about not wanting engine trouble/warranty and that argument is valid but to keep harping about how the tune should be 1k is silly. The market determines if 3k is too steep and if it is then no one will get the tune but i suspect that will not be the case. Besides, no one is forcing anyone to go tune their car for 3k. Stay with the BS/Cheap a** piggy and be happy already
