baldyloxs i dont now whats up with yours but mine is a different car with it. i can barely keep it on the road if i am leaving a courner and i get on it. i was behind a camero ss today and he reved it up like every loser around here does. when we got to the turn i fliped the switch and smashed it. i had to hold on for dear life to keep it straight. he was a half a car length ahead just becuase he started in front of me and then when we hit about 30 to 40 i pulled away by 2 car lengths. i love the difference and its lots of fun in parking lots when no one is around. no holding the brack on this daytona needed!!!!!! just thought i would share my 2 cents. thanks.

OK, we've got one who says it makes a big difference, and one who is not so sure. Have we reached the limits of these cars with the mods we've done, i.e., is the traction control actually, completely, eliminated with this mod? Or is there really more to be done? Is HAL somehow still in partial control [:@]? "Hello, Dave. I can't allow you to do that" (HAL).

What are your thoughts? Mango - how does your's react? Lets here it, folks. Mine, like baldylox's, will get crossed up around a turn now, without this mod.

Just like w/the GSM it works for my car. From a stand still I can drop the smoke bomb and get a good bark in second. Like some of the others the car gets squirrelly and you really have to watch it or she’ll get sideways quick.

This mod is definatly worth the time and change it takes to do it. It takes about 15 minutes to pull the console, another 30 to take her for a test run and then get the switch in place, another 15 to button her up and put the finishing touches on it. In total right around an hour from start to finish.

This mod gets a [sm=smiley20.gif] [sm=smiley20.gif] [sm=smiley20.gif] [sm=smiley20.gif] [sm=smiley20.gif] rating and it's two hammers for difficulty.

GSM made out like bandet$ selling their mod, but like B&G they were the only show in town that had the knowledge and $15 worth of wiring, loom and switches. If I would have waited I would have $200 extra Hemi bucks in my pocket

mine always got sideways to but now like mango said if you not ready you will lose it big time. it just opens up much more. well werth the $5 and 15min in time. just pull your dash apart and unplug the sensor and try it. be your own judge before you cut the wire. thats the best way to make your own mine up. ask 50 people a question you will get a lot of different answers to the same question. just my thought.

jcivicsi00 your on the money there.

Luck of the draw getting "freak" car that performs better than others. There is so much that goes into these cars and I would bet there are little differences in each one that rolls off the line.

Hey guys Im not trying to turn it into a Pissin match.I am only saying on a straight burnout it did nothing for my car,around the corner you could see it 2 or 3 times if you dont watch it .Like I said I do think it does eliminate ESP.Mango wasnt trying to slam ya,but you do got some more hp than most of us is all I was saying.
