This device addresses and improves one of the weakest links in the chain of driver to car to road: the right foot.

If you want no lag, downshift into whatever gear will put you at 5500 RPM in anticipation and then floor it. Use SRM if you need to and try to tell me there's a delay trying to push it through that yellow light. There's only as much lag as time it takes you to downshift. AT folks - maybe this is a good alternative to having to use manual mode all the time.

A very experienced driver can essentially do what this device does by varying his driving methods. But the fun factor of a device like this makes is perfect for some people. I would akin it to SRM for someone with limited or no heel-toe ability who wants to track. I would definitely like to test drive a car with SB to see the difference.
