I know most airline "black boxes" keep info for 30 minutes and then record over. What about our ECU's?:dunno:

The ECU records the maximum rev the engine has seen, and MAY record the amount of time at redline. (It does in the M cars, but may not in the regular ones.)

According to the tech at my dealership only M cars do that..noting in regular cars is recorded..i guess he is right..
