I had one on my 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0. Madness GoPedal. it worked great until it didn't--it threw a throttle error while in traffic and the car became disabled. I was able to limp home (it would go about 5 mph) and remove it. It now sits in a box in my garage. I'm prone to avoid throttle control devices now--all they do is increase throttle actuation based on a given pedal angle. Just press the gas harder!

All a pedal commander does is take your throttle input and change it.
You can do that for free with your right foot.
With AT cars, people feel like it "tricks" the AT into shifting better. That's possible, but again, a free mod you can do just by modifying your right foot.
I have a 9AT Titan and it is like every other Nissan 9AT, except the one in the Nismo. I hated it, considered a pedal commander and after looking into it decided against it. Now I know how to "trick" the Nissan 9AT with my foot.
With a 6MT, I just don't even see the point. The car makes no more power, and since the 6MT is dumb, there's no tricking it into shifting better.
Save your money and flex your right foot.

I had a Sprint Booster on an 06 Cayman with MT. I really liked it. I would stall, taking off from a stop sometimes, before I installed it. Never had that problem once I put it in. I had a 2012 Porsche, again with a manual, but it came with a "sport" button. That button did what the sprint booster did. So I left that button on. It doesn't increase the power. For me it just smoothed out the throttle response. Had it on a BMW with an auto trans. Didn't do anything to smooth out a Jerry throttle on take off. I'd put one on my current Z but Sprint doesn't offer one for it.
Hope this helps.
