What you really have to pay attention to is REVERSE with the SB. If you don't modulate the throttle backing up, there is a high likelihood of hitting something behind you.

I had been thinking about getting a SB, but have decided it's not for me. You see, my wife drives the car sometimes and I already worry a lot about her backing in to something -- she sure doesn't need any more help!
edit: JPJ, Just noticed your sig, "Coming soon: ...Exhaust Upgrade" hehe

Hmmm...maybe I should think twice about this, although my car never goes into Manhattan and never has to be parallel parked. What do you think VT? Should I get it?
In HK the parking space between each cars is about 12 inchs so I have never had any probums with it.
But if you are a hevy footed on the gas peddle then I would not get this.
I am a very sensitive and can feel the slight diffrents in things so this gagect is no prob for me.

or maybe she will like it.
But if your wife drives the car better be on the safe side and not get it.

Okay so I've been emailing www.slkfans.com and he was offering $250 shipped for a group buy of 5-10 people or $245 shipped with 10 or more. I also looked into www.shop4sprint.com recommended by Jordan23junkie but they guy never replied to my 4 emails. He had the cheapest starting price of $245 shipped. I even went to try and order one from him but when it went to Paypal, it says he's unable to accept payment. WEIRD!
Anyone know of another source that may do a group buy?
Thanks,
Tony

Well, I guess you'll be trying out my Sprint Booster at the Malibu Meet. It's going to be addictive...
Anyway, I've noticed that when I wind out my gears and shift around 5K - 6.5K rpm, I'm put right into my max torque @3.5K rpm at the next gear. The power delivery is instantaneous.
