The reason for this is for people who Auto-X and things like that, because our stock oil pans suck. The reason for a new one is that with our stock one, people have reported that while turning hard, all the oil shifts to one side and the oil pump has nothing to suck up, thus running the engine dry and killing it! So it's a great thing if you like to take a lot of hard turns and like not buying a new engine due to oil starvation. Thats the explination in short...

yeah, what he said. I heard somebody compare it to putting a lid on that soda in your cupholder. without the lid, you tear around a corner and the soda rises up the side of the cup, away from the bottom and goes out all over your console, shifter, floor mats, etc. The baffles in the pan keep the oil down in the bottom of the pan where the oil pump pickup tube is.

I'd probably be interested becasue I'm always taking corners fast, and also theirs two road courses opening by me soon and I'll definatly be going to them a lot. Plus I'm thinking of Auto-X a while down the road....Better safe than sorry! So yeah, me. I guess I'll start a list....
