hack your car

Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters:

"'The New York Times has this story about hacking your car's chip. You can get significant horse power and torque boosts ( 18 horsepower and 70 foot pounds of torque in the given example), as well as improve (or decrease) fuel efficency. The car companies do not like (surprise surprise) people personalizing their vehicle's programming and warn of burning out your engine with bad code, and voiding your warranty.'"

This is awesome. Maybe I can rice out my '91 Camry.
