    I didn't know they made an application for the R8?? A friend uses it in his Subaru WRX STI and thinks it makes a difference-no faster but smoother throttle response.

    Don't spirit boosters stand on the sidelines of high school football games wearing skirts, holding pom-poms and cheer a lot?

    the Sprint Booster is about the lamest gimmicky POS out there! I can't believe there are fools out there that actually buy it... Maybe someone who has a Subaru, but hopefully no one who has the wherewithal to get to the point in their life that they could afford an R8!

    they don't claim it makes the car faster, just a throttle pedal remap:

    How much horsepower gain can I expect from SprintBooster?

    Sprint Booster does not increase horsepower. Sprint Booster changes the throttle response in the low to mid rpm range where cars spend a majority of their time. As a result, your car feels peppier and more powerful.

    as long as it delivers that, then what's the problem (other than the $300 price tag)?

    drive-by slagging, I doubt he'll be back. If the thing doesn't work, fine, but tell why rather than google 'sprint booster' and throw insults at every BB thread you can find on it (that'll get you a lot of currency with the regulars on a board )

    No matter how many times I read this, I still see the word "Spirit". Ever have that happen? See a word incorrectly and can't get off the incorrectness?

    I still think it's all about cheer leaders...
