Um where did you get that info? MAP sensors provide automatic navigation such as lane departure warnings, radar cruise control, automated guidance, etc. You're confusing that with the MAF sensors previously discussed that provide "Major @$$ Feel" suspension adjustment.

There is no need to bash on how he chose to describe the performance of his car.

I'm not trying to be a **** but these forums are to help everyone out and small questions should be answered in a respectful way and not discourage anyone from asking any more questions in the future.
Here are three different quotes by OP that were politely questioned by various members to clarify what he was stating:

I don't think anyone was doing anything to make him look stupid. Except for maybe... himself.

well i have drove car for two weeks with a new fmz3ayy2 an this is what i see
1. very smooth ride
2. 19miles combined (city sucks like if i go 100 miles she sucks like 7.5 gallons)
3. slow shifts
4. quiet idle
5. power mode: the stretch in 2nd to 3rd gear is really noticable

this was all with mild aggressive driving. i will a new fmz3ayy1 an let u know how she turn out.

Boney31. Is your car a SC400 or a Soarer V8? UZZ32 are actives and the only model that can modify suspension behavior.

Thread is 2 years old.

Everybody went wild over the suspension comments but nobody pointed out that the MAF also has nothing to do with the effort required to operate the gas pedal.

This thread quickly became a train wreck. I actually thought there would have been useful information in here

Has anyone actually tried to test his "findings" if performance is better?
