Smile Being a new PT Cruiser owner, I was...

wondering about increasing performance of my 2007 convertible touring turbo. It is the 180 hp version.

I was reading a thread that was started 2004 about perfomance. In 2004, TechnoBear said that you could unhook the neg. cable from the battery and then after 10 - 15 min. you rehook it and the go out and drive it hard and the "learning computer" would adapt to you driving style (hard). Is this true and does that idea still hold for 3 - 4 yr. later models???

If this is still true I may not want to touch this one, because the previous owner must have had a "drag racing" foot like me. I was very surprised a pleased with the way it took off when the turbo kicked. I look for bigger cars to pick on now. I think my daughter described it best, after giving her, your husband and 2 kid a ride in it. After everyone was in, in her neigborhood, she said Step on it". I did for about 2 blocks. After we got back to her house, she told my wife...."That Thing has some Balls". I loved it and have to agree with her on that.
