Gixxer may be able to expand on my thoughts. we took turns driving each other cars one day and even though he had extensively more motor work done, i felt like his car was sluggish or asleep through the gas pedal unless it was wide open throttle. We took the sprint booster out of mine (process of 10 min) and put in his and he ended up going home with it cause he liked the difference in power delivery so much more. He then bought one for me to replace it. He felt his car launched much better even though no power increase, just better reaction.

i'm not sure you will notice a difference from 0 to wide open throttle but it wakes the car up in average every day driving. it's like having M button and gear selector to the left all the time but in manageable driving situations.

i also had one in my 550i and loved it as well. you feel all of the motor, no computer dilution

on a side note, occasionally it will turn off when car has been off for awhile and i can tell instantly as soon as i pull out that the car feels dull before looking down to see that it has shut off. there are settings from off to green(1-9) and red (1-9). green has fuel savings mode but i didn't buy this car to save fuel so i usually run red 6..... red 9 is obnoxious and hardly drivable in M mode.

this connects you to your car more directly. i would highly recommend for anyone. sorry for long response but hope it helps clarify

Great Review and i feel where you are coming from....I will look into the sprintbooster and some other similar products....Thank you.

I'm so jealous of folks that are able to drive without potholes and being buried under snow like the Midwest right now... I really did ask my wife today if she was willing to move to NC...

fortunately only about one snow a year and weather is usually great but unfortunately the roads are starting to show their age and that occasional pothole will be out there lurking to ruin a set of wheels in a hurry if you're not on your game - two bent lips on Panamera and one cracked wheel on Range Rover but the NCDOT didn't see where there were negligent in any way. i guess it's normal for wheels to bend and split while driving on the interstate.....

Luckily the signatures have been holding tough. fingers crossed

Product alert......

Came across this product from Adam's that imo works great for restoring black plastic trim. I've used other products in the past but the ease of use of Adam's In & Out Spray has won me over. My old school grilles we're looking ashy after this winter so I sprayed them yesterday and they are back to new looking. The honeycomb is a breeze and any overspray dusts right off with a light wipe with microfibre towel leaving no residue or streaks

looks like a pretty good product, came out clean

[ncbimma]

Does the product remain after a day or so or does it begin to look patchy? Most "black renew" sprays I've used in the past look terrible a few days after applying...

Also NC represent!

I wonder how the VRT works if this is that good. I've yet to try their products. Looks great though

I'll update with pics after a while or a few washes. so far so good, no change. even if it came off in first wash, it applies so easy and looks fresh that it's still worth it imo. i'll keep you updated.

i've had it on the lower grille of my panamera for a month or so and no fading but has been getting less use

I'm not sure about VRT? But I just started using their products recently after ceramic coating my Porsche and have been impressed with all of their stuff so far. Below are some pics of undercarriage spray that works amazing on inner fenders but hard to see because of lighting

Plus, possibly the biggest benefit is that it all smells so good. My garage smells like bubble gum now :

did a little research and went to a tutorial demo with Adam and the In and Out spray is basically the VRT is an aerosol spray to ease the application process and help get in nooks and crannies in the motor compartment.

so far still holding up from initial application
