Nope. Unlocked. Well, at least for the 15-17.
Which basically means no aftermarket bolt-ons, no cams, no turbo's no non-ford approved FI, no gear swaps, hell, even tire height changes may be a hard no. So in reality, the overpriced 500hp DH is still slower than every 15-20 s550 out there. If you catch my meaning.
Yeah, my initial response to this was going to be that every thing had to be unlocked at some point, but that's not obvious to most.
" While we didn’t find power, what we did find is that the C8’s software largely works the same way as the older ECUs, like the E92, and that we were able to modify the parameters required to make power adders work on the C8 without stand alone or piggyback systems.” – Vince
Well when I say 'unlocked' 15-17 use a skeleton key like yer parents used for that 'liquor cabinet', 18+ use a master padlock to keep yer hoe safe in the shed, 21+ uses safe lock that contains yer Netflix password & copies grannies gone wild, s650 uses whatever the hell they use to start a nuclear sub from everything I've read haha.
Maybe, but I think we'll get to the point that they won't. As they begin to add more connectivity, drive by wire and auto pilot type features, hackers become more and more of a concern for manufacturers.
