If you really think hacking a computer and a car are that much different, go to www.aempower.com and download their ECU demo. It is a completely configurable ECU system you could potentially drop into any computer controlled, fuel injection car up to 10 cylinders.

Click the demo download, install, and open one of the included base maps for an Eclipse.

This is a step above the "piggy back" (signal interceptor/retransmittor) or firmware re-flashes (resolder flash chip that stores the lookup tables the company researched, using the stock processor, close to what the article talks about). This completely replaces your entire engine management. But it is incredibly configurable. People generally use this product for high boost Supras and Eclipses, but you get the point.
Still think it isn't like hacking?
