The Ecu is technically NOT a learning computer. But, it does get accustomed to our human impulses. if we keep pushing the car the sensors will try to keep up with our inputs. Its not like the ecu is trying to identify each individual and reprogramming the driving style for each person. But as you drive the car, the ecu will get coached along your daily driving response.
Try this. Drive aggressive for about a week and notice you will begin to feel improvements in throttle response of your car. But then drive like a granny for a couple weeks. After a couple of weeks go back to driving aggressive. The response time is slow. When I say learn. I don't mean learning. Its just the ecu on these cars seem to need coaching into faster responses.
