I don't think it's a ridiculous suggestion I said 'closer' You could just say that's the best price you can do. A lot of people here have the SB and for them to want to swap for something else would probably require a lot of effort.
Just my 2cents...
As for the 535...don't think I haven't asked

U have a 545.....it's really a beauty also.....V8 is oready a muscle car.
We have alot of bros here in Singapore running SB.....once you get bored of a gadget or wish you could have adjustability on SB, then either Velocity or Pivot is the next best toy to have.
Effort? It's a 15mins job to remove SB.....or effort = $$?
I've personally sold more than 350 SB here in Singapore when the gadget was launched.
I still love SB, but that's old tech.....I gave my SB to my younger sis since Velocity is available now.
I don't just sell stuffs, I buy them & test them in my own car to do my own reviews on the products!
Cheers

Ridiculous.
It's like asking BMW dealers to sell you a 535 for the price of a 525.
Go buy the PIVOT or stick to Sprint Booster.

First rule of business/vendor anywhere in the world.... BE NICE to your customers specially potentially customers and NEVER ridicule one in front of the other potentials, you can simply say, no, thats the price and nothing you can do about it. In another words, saying the same thing but in a nicer way=good vendor/dealer.
GL with the sales.

I'm sure allot of us would ask a BMW dealer to get a 535 for a 525 price. Never hurt and you never know in these economic times. Nevertheless NO dealer would ridicule you for that and ask you leave and go to their competition and if they do thats not the dealer/vendor I want to do business with anyway.

I can't agreed more.

Small question, which do you suggest, Pivot or Velocity. Pivot seems cheaper from website

Can you report back on the FC after, say, a week of spirited drives with it on? CHeers
FC is like 7.8km/l base on ave speed 40kph (thats shown on OBC)
that could be 60% urban-40% hwy driving, i guess.

Interesting stuff. It's nice to have the option to adjust sensitivity but one thing I like about the SB is that it's stealth and can be removed in minutes. Wonder how the Velocity unit installs...
(just unplug the SB n plug in the Velocity)
in fact, there's alot of guys selling their less than few mths old SB for this velocity..
anyway, hope someone in US/Eu post some reviews soon to cfm my view/comments.

But then how is the control unit connected? I assume there's a wire that's connected to the unit under the gas pedal and you'll just have to reroute it to wherever you mount the control unit right?
