So- I know people that think STS is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and others who would gladly burn down their production facilities.

In my experience, those who install an STS and have never run any other forced induction system love them. Those who have experience with other forced induction systems tend to not be as impressed. Generally because of the lag.

Never driven an STS 5th gen. I've driven earlier STS systems and found them to be a bit on the laggy side, though I hear the newer designs are a lot less laggy. I think the concept of the rear-mounted turbo is interesting, but it wouldn't be my first choice for any of my vehicles.
