ECU Dilema......help....
OK you all now know i have ceased to use the S8 as basically its crap or maybe it was just my one...ok it was just my one 
So i got a choice of AUTRONIC SM2 or SM4......now you may say its fooking obvious BUT i want traction control which is gear selectable...it looks as if SM4 may not get it...so if it doesnt i am tempted to just go SM2 after all it does Rodneys car ok
....Obvious SM4 has more features...but do i really need em on a road car?..I have looked and feel i dont as i am used to S8 which has nowhere near the features of SM2 
...TC on its own is around £500 but this ECU has it already in it 
Mark obviously says you wouldnt buy last years when this years model is coming...but i want TC Fook of saying its crap Rainbird...

So decision made, so stop wasting everyone's time .
You are a Madette, so no harm in sounding like one. Go along with what Mark says and at least you'll have a fast car that works instead of going by your own (lack of ) wisdom and having a slow one that doesn't

Well I'm at Bedford on 19th Feb, why don't you show me? 
.
You are forgetting, my own car had a proven 180mph top end - my Escort would run rings around it in ANY scenario other than a straight blast from 90-170mph. However, in any real world situation, it would destroy my Sapphire, and I know my Sapphire would destroy your car (which hasn't got the traction / handling / braking set up that my Sapphire had/has - as it is still alive), so ipso-facto .

i'm in the same boat ,sm4 is not realeased yet iirc , i was waiting for sm4 just cus it has knock control , but am thinking i can get a stand alone knock device for less than the cost difference between sm2 & sm4
don't know what other features there are ?
another point for me is mark will not have mapped one before although its probably well within his capability i don't fancy being guinea pig.
any cost info out for the sm4 yet?
so looks like sm2 for me

Mark..
What kind of processor (speed) will the SM4 use and how many injector drivers will it have (are all sequential) and also ignition drivers?
