yea i probably will. doesn't hurt to try.. it seems to me that it's kind of like driving in DS all the time. but unless i try i will not know

looks like it's not hard to sell either
its a little more than just driving in DS all the time, bud

Try it - highly recommend

that's why i didn't buy one yet.. i wonder if this also increases gas milage, since you constantly pressing the pedal harder.

i want to try one.. but i wonder. is it possible to ride slowly (cruise in the neiborhood on 1000-1500 rpm) or it will make it hard to control?
i cant say for everyone but i didnt have problem to drive slowly in a car that had sb

I don't care SB IS AWESOME!
+1000 I dont give a f$% what some technical paper or w.e. says. It's tried tested and true to what they claim, and worth every penny.

i am more a sideway person

when I moved my foot from the brakes to the gas, the extra push from the sb caused the front to lift a bit and some understeer as a result.

might be I can try to put my foot on the gas a little later to see if I can kick the back out instead, if my friends let me take another drive in their cars.
