It's almost like having some cam device on the gas pedal that gives you more throttle early as you depress the pedal, except it does it electronically.
In the past several years I have driven many late model 4 cyl cars and most of them feel pretty peppy for the first third to half throttle. Makes for spirited fun driving. However, with the petal to the metal, there is generally not much left in the hp department. I believe these cars are using something like this built in to their drive-by-wire throttles.
This thing is $290! That's a lot of money for an electronic dohicky. But maybe worth it if the Boxster becomes more fun. Mine's a 2.7. These are not slow, but certainly not fast either. Need all the help they can get.
Money back satisfaction guarantee.

Any experience with this???
It is a $300 Band-Aid for those that cannot get the gas pedal down fast enough. While it will not make your car one iota quicker, user comments vary between "I love it", to "Why did I waste my money on this?".

Because I get to drive a lot of cars at the shop, I can only tell you that I have driven several with it installed, and I think it is worthless.
