Lets just say that the Mustang GT i met last night was also a little disapointed with my 545's performance

No sprint booster required.

And i was carrying two sets of floor mats!

My only concern in that the SB makes the throttle too sensitive. I drive in a lot of stop and go traffic and don't want the car to become jerky. What's the consensus?
I do understand what you are talking about b/c we get our fair share of bumper-to-bumper hell in the DC Metro area... when I'm in that situation I just put the car in manual mode (I have a steptronic auto trans) and I put it to where the car starts off in 3rd gear. This eliminates any sudden jumps from the stop and go traffic... plus doing this is much easier on the transmission... give it a try next time...

For some reason cars that sit around in dealer lots seem to be sluggish at first - a second test drive might change your mind. The sluggish thing is strange of course because even though the auto transmission "learns" your style - it does it all the time, every second and does not store your past driving. Even more interesting is that you drove a stick - which of course takes the auto out of the question as well as the 25 second trick (which works on automatic cars, not manual if I'm not mistaken).

Oh and the other fact is, some of the cars out there are faster than others
