For people interested in considering a performance chip, this group did some very serious reviews of possible options: Car Performance Chip Reviews | In-Depth Performance Chip Analysis After a lot of research I went with the GTE Stage 2 chip, and man does does that thing present impressive launches from any speed. My 2013 SE with a 2.0 turbo and front-wheel drive will burn the tires off if I punch the pedal from a standstill, and that's with new Goodyear Eagles. It was actually chirping tires if I punched it at 30 mph, which is a pure muscle car flex. Unbelievable. The review site explains very thorough research methods, with a lot of graphs and results. You can really see the difference between show and go; there are a few chips to avoid. When I posed a question to the GTE people, they got right back to me. This particular chip will not affect your emission test, etc., but will definately improve throttle response and acceleration. After a month of use, so far so good. I'll post in a another few months.

Nicely done, gave me a good laugh but it's true. I test drove a 2013 Fusion SE 2.0 eco last week with about 50,000 miles on it, after coming out of a very slow Chevy HHR, and I was stunned by the speed. If you check historical performance stats, it shows the Fusion matching some very potent muscle cars from the 60s and 70s. Perfect for an old geezer like me. And fuel efficient! I will pick the "EcoBeast" up this week.
