If, say, for example, just spitballing, hypothetically a particular marque were forced to buy a chunk of alumineeeeum, a new intake, and get tuning done... would that be creep?

I might not consider it creep in and of itself, but the idea of bringing in a new technology that could be then used in a more sweeping manner would be...

I just pray that the ITAC guys are as smart as I think they are, and they keep that technology on a very short leash.

I do definitely feel for the e36 guys though.
