It's just a different throttle pedal map, not a big deal. Just push your foot down further.

I had been toying with getting one for my M3 before selling it... now I'm definitely interested for the Z. Need to justify the $$ to the wife though who has been watching my car/track expenditures like a hawk lately.

I had it on my Mercedes e55 and loved it. It just makes the tps or throttle more aggressive with less pedal if you know what I mean.
For the price it's expensive since the z is a new platform. But I'd get a tuner like an AP or Osiris that can be programmed in and you can have it to monitor values and reset CELs to boot.

Interesting concept but it really needs to be something like < $49.95. For $329.00 I'll step on the gas pedal a little further.

Well I ended up picking one up through a group buy on sixspeedonline last week. Ordered it Thursday and it arrived yesterday with free shipping and at a $85 discount.

Took 10 or 15 minutes to install and I have to say it has a noticable impact. I know there are people who think the same effect can be accomplished through a tune (along with the other benefits of a tune) and they are probably right, but for the $250 I paid, this was a pretty quick and easy plug and play improvement on the delay associated with drive by wire.

Car definitely reacts more quickly to throttle application and requires some adjustment in your throttle inputs (particularly in the corners). Really looking forward to trying it out at the track tonight (Infineon Road Course). Even my wife, who is pretty oblivious to changes in the car, immediately noticed the pickup in response.

When you say "pickup in response", does it remove the delay between pressing the throttle and the engine actually revving? I've found that with manual rev-matching downshifts, I have to be deliberate with the throttle blip. If you push the throttle too quickly, the revs won't even register to the throttle input. Does the Sprint Booster help with that?

By manual rev-matching are you referring to heal-toe downshifts? If so I'll have to let you know after I get the car on the track tonight. I know the delay you are talking about... it was a huge pain in the *** to me in my M3. Haven't had this car on the track yet and typically leave it with S-mode turned on when I'm on the street.

Well, yes-and-no. If you are heel-toeing, you are still blipping the throttle so you'd notice the throttle lag. But it happens if you simply stop at idle, car in neutral and quickly press and release the throttle. With the sprint booster, does the engine rev as soon as you press the throttle? Without it, there is a noticeable delay and you can literally push and release the throttle fast enough that the revs never budge.
