People are coming to their senses and actually learning about cars instead of believing in snake oil

If I felt like crawling up there and removing mine I would. I got supercharged and no longer need it. Maybe they are trading their cars in or got more HP.

Maybe they finally got a tune and don't need it?

It happens periodically. People buy them and use them, then add more mods that make them less necessary so they get rid of them to the next group

Anybody coming from the classic muscle car world will tell you the throttle response in a stock 5Gen SS is atrocious and should not be like it is in a larger displacement pushrod V8 with fuel injection. If I felt any hesitation in my 462- that's a carbureted engine- I'd rebuild the accelerator pump and re-tune the engine. When I feel hesitation in my 5Gen I grin and bear it. Anything that tries to address that is a welcome sight.

Had mine for 14 months leave it on 5 and enjoy the extra pedal response. The general nature of us Mod people is discontent. We just can't leave stuff alone, so we are always buying, selling, trading, changing. It's also an easy mod to connect/disconnect especially if you're selling or trading in your car. It doesn't seem unusual to me to see these for sale.

I have one, just have not installed it yet. I drive in "D" and once in a while put it in "Sport" mode, but even then, I tend to go too fast. Just not convinced I need it at this point...
