Dealership techs can only refash the vehicle computers with factory calibrations. They have no "backdoor" into the software. I do custom calibrations for new car dealerships all the time, because they can't do it. This is how I have made my living for the last 15 years.

Requiring cable throttles would stop a lot of this silliness. Throttle control is not the only way to slow one down.
