At the dragway last night a local who did Radford with the 170's said the instructor warned him to NOT use ECO!

This is the first I have heard that ECO might be detrimental, and I have not found any further info.

Anyone ever hear anything about this?

Was it don't run hard (race) in ECO, or no ECO ever? No 170 for me, but interested to learn why...

Good point, I'll ask.

But I have to say, out of the 3, the 170 is the most comfortable and quickest, though not as much fun as the M6.

Maybe that you can choose eco, sport, track (all factory selectable), and maybe cannot wait to get answer.
BUT: That was only my interpretation of what @DGatzby posted.

Sorry to be brief and confusing. I just do not think it is harmful. So I cannot wait for you to ask the tech to clarify himself.;) That is all, no big deal.
