Why SprintBooster Works

Please go to the Sprint Booster site and you will find that it operates exactly as I described.

In fact, it's worse than described. With the Sprint Booster the throttle reaches 100% at 75% pedal throw. After that (from 75% to 100% flat on the floor) nothing happens because the throttle is already full wide open.

As I said, just drive with a lead foot and it's the same.

Thanks for posting the link. Reaffirms my original thought that it's just a gimmick and I can ignore the youtube vid. I tend to avoid manufacturers websites as the opinions are of course, biased. Their website though is surprisingly balanced.

Anyways, gimmick or not - I'd rather put that $300 towards Nine's cool wind deflector he's working on!
