Is the dyno being built into the ground or it is going to be like synaptics where you drive up on it?

And can you tune ITBs?

It's in-ground, and it's a DynoJet...... Both of which make it AMAZING

I can do ITB's, depending on the engine/software/ECU the car has, it may be easy, or damn near impossible to sync them.

can you do it on a miata with megasquirt? since i dont really feel like dishing out $1600 for an AEM unit

Alex! Happy for you man. I hope it all works out.

can the mega squirt do alpha-n? or can it take 4 map inputs to run 4 different VE maps for each of the injectors?

[OVRBST]

Just about any standalone can do Alpha-N, including Megasquirt. Mostly though, you don't tune each cylinder individually unless it's a very very heavily beat on race car, or you have the money to pay to tune that way. Each cylinder will need its own O2 and EGT sensor, which gets very expensive. For instance, R26 (Skyline) has ITB's from the factory and that gets tuned as one.

The only time it's truly individual is if it's carburetors. That's a whole separate discussion.

from MSN:

Let's dream up a car, shall we? Start with a hybrid; for instance, the Toyota Prius or Lexus HS 250h. Then make that hybrid look sporty by packaging its driveline into a sleek hatchback form. Market it as something of a sports car, despite the fact that it takes 9.8 seconds to hit 60 mph. Then stiffen the suspension so that the heavy machine handles decently. Predictably, this will ruin ride quality. And finally, against all logic, give this vehicle — ostensibly a luxury car — an interior that could live in a Toyota Camry. This is the Lexus CT 200h. Excited yet? Neither are we.

I thought this was kind of harsh and was interested in Alex's opinion now that he's had it for awhile. How are you liking it so far?

So , they like it?

Still love it. I look forward to driving it every day. I'm not sure why the hate. I think it was marketed wrong. It's not a sports car by any means. Handles awesome, but its not fast. That was not my intent though when I bought. I can count on 1 hand how many times I've floored it for more then 5 seconds.
I bought it for the 40+ mpg, comfy as fawk interior and size. Also, I've driven a lot of Camry's as rentals, and would never in a million years compare the two interiors.

It's like saying an F458 is a terrible car because it gets 10mpg and is miserable in the snow. Just one of those "duh" statements. It's a hybrid.

What kills me is that it is in fact slow, we all know this, but its still faster then a base model civic/corolla/focus and less then a second slower then the IS250 to 60mph. None of those cars catch this type of heat.
