The [[SZYM Intruder]] serves as the base model from which all vehicles are forked. Although no other vehicles received major SPT updates, the scripts were designed to be as modular as possible such that updating is a simpler process. Unfortunately, after several vehicles were made, this proved to be untrue, as porting the scripts to different objects took weeks, if not months.

Unlike [[SVT]], SPT is an overall system of scripts that handle tasks separately in a more object-oriented manner. Additionally, SPT almost entirely departs from older SVT communication protocols, to the point where [[ac14 Hutson]] refused to provide any code from the SVT engine or its compatible scripts during its production.

Since SPT is an entire package, all features will not be listed here, but main improvements over the SVT engine and its scripts are as follows:
 
−
* Simulated passive suspension for vehicle rolling during bumps and acceleration/deceleration
 
−
* More flexible and realistic handling, especially at speed
 
−
* Web Config, which allows for all configuration to be done through a user-friendly web interface
 
−
* Full [[EVHUD]] 3 integration with built-in reverb, advanced emergency lighting, extensive color customization, HUD savestate, synchronous passenger control, and full-duplex communication
 
−
* More robust permissions which prevent unauthorized users from using the vehicle's functions
 
−
* [[Global Fuel System]] integration, which was released a few months after
 
−
* Better handling of base vehicle lighting (turn signals, tail lights, headlights)
 
−
* More camera positions and animations, depending on vehicle
 
−
* Easier seat handling with permissions pass-throughs for seated avatars in some cases (e.g. window controls)

Originally, SPT was designed to have a proprietary, realistic engine simulation (hence "simulated power") but sounds were impossible to coordinate, and script package upgrades from SVT would not have been possible without re-sourcing sounds. As a result, the SPT's original drivetrain system was scrapped and rebuilt to be more like [[SVT]]. If LSL's sound handling were to be improved, however unlikely, the original drivetrain design would most likely be re-added. (see [https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4373 SVC-4373])

The NTBI Review Rewards Program is a review incentive offered by some NTBI affiliates. The program offers a 10% rebate on products from participating affiliates when a qualifying review is written on the product's Marketplace listing.

Terms & Conditions

For all Marketplace reviews written on or after each manufacturer's start date (regardless of purchase date), buyers are eligible for a 10% rebate on the purchase price of the product upon confirmation of the review being posted. This rebate will be paid regardless of the contents or rating of the review, to be compliant with the Marketplace TOS (see TOS & Listing Guidelines or Knowledge Base entry). However, for negative reviews, you may be contacted and asked to provide more information prior to the rebate being paid, as this program is in place not only to elicit more reviews, but receive quality customer feedback in general, positive or negative. For negative reviews related to delivery failures or otherwise not related to the product itself, or not compliant with reviewing rules in the Marketplace TOS & Listing Guidelines, no rebate will be delivered until the review is edited, and we ask that you contact the manufacturer directly instead of writing such a review. If payment is not received within 7 days, the user should contact the manufacturer. This rebate is not available to purchases made through vendors outside Marketplace, such as CasperVend. This rebate is not available for products which have been discontinued; e.g. are not shown on the Marketplace store page. For purchases made prior to each manufacturer's start date, this rebate is only available if sufficient funds are available for reimbursement.
