I know some nay sayers say it is a waste but if it can eliminate the delay then it will be worth it to me. Last time I raced my friends NSX, he jumped out two cars right away, but once my car actually kicked in I blew by him. If it were a faster car I might not be able to make up that 2 sec head start. So if the SB can eliminate the lag then I say there is a definite performance benefit. I guess I'll have to add it to my wish list.
