Is the sniper out yet? (for the s197 05)

Is it supposed to better than the predator? I was about to buy the predator but then I heard something on these forums about the Sniper.

Can anyone give me any insight on this?

I would go with the SCT. From people I've talked to Diablo was ahead of SCT for a while on 05s, but that has changed. Seems like SCT may be a better piece for the 05s right now. It more depends who tunes it rather than what they use though.

What's the SCT got over the Diablo Predator?

Frankly I am still waiting on the Sniper and when it comes out will probably sell my Predator.

From what I have been told its capablities with drive by wire are better. I know someone that had a predator and switched to SCT and said the car drove much better. I don't know all the details, just when talking to a tuner he explained to me why he liked it better. Just saying I would definitely consider it. I've heard good things about Sniper but till I see one can't say much on it.

I haven't had both for comparison, but I'm very happy with the SCT tune. Throttle response was greatly improved.

Just curious who tuned your car? I really think the tuner is more important than the device you use though. The predator isn't a bad piece, just seems like the SCT has a better grasp of drive by wire. I'm really getting curious about sniper though. Has anyone had Sniper on any other cars?
