Well that response is about as intelligent as the rest of your posts. I'm really good looking but not gay. You really should learn more about cars before you argue about things technical. I will not responed to any more of your childish posts. Next time you get a change tune into the spec Miata races on the Speed channel.

 

I really don't care to argue about this anymore. The person tested the SprintBooster in a 1999 MY Benz. If Mercedes has not improved their electronics in the last 11 years shame on them. If you check a little closer into the writer of this white paper. He has a company which markets similar products. Do we think it might be in the best interests of his company to minimize the competitors claims? I really don't care. Buy one or not. Period...!

 

Yes, please, someone ban this waste of bandwidth known as "MCF".

 

You really think that a company starts making a product called Sprint Booster that costs hundreds of dollars to buy and sells it with a money back guarantee and hopes to make business on "stupid" MB owners who do not know better?

 

Hahaha... Someone is revealing their complete ignorance of cars. The Miata is the epitome of sports cars. A bit lacking in the upper end of horsepower, but oh so much fun in the curves. The E series, while a great car, is NOT a sports car.

Steelgrey, you probably know, but the primary purpose of heel-and-toeing is to avoid having the engine too low in revs or too high in revs when downshifting. The former will cause the rear tires to lock, reducing traction under braking or, when cornering, cause a spin. The latter will cause the rear tires to "push", making braking less effective or, when cornering, cause a spin. "Maintaining speed" is not really the primary objective -- maintaining car balance is.

 

Actually the Miata is a sports car that's well respected in SCCA, MCSCC, NASA, and MWC. Miata even has its own class, Spec Miata. It's a great car for the race track. I think pretty much everybody knows that

There's a MBWorld member (Derek) who owns a couple of AMGs and who has a sponsored Spec Miata team.

fyi, the bestselling novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein comes from his experience as a Spec Miata SCCA driver, as told from a dog's point of view (the dog's name is Enzo and his owner is a race car driver; it's a great story, btw.)

 

This forum is like a bad train wreck...you don’t want to look, but you have to. It's truly taken on a life of its own (I am not sure that's a good thing...but it sure is an interesting exploration into our fellow brethren - I have always assumed we are all MB supporters right?).

I am going to make one more post and try to leave this chapter on a positive note.

For all of you who have a SB...continue to enjoy yours as I do.

For...piper...thanks for starting this thread and giving me the heads up into purchasing this product, I love mine...

For SB, please try and be proactive and find a solution to the apparent 550 adaptability (you are missing out on some good clientele).

Enjoy the rest of this forum, I will see you on the other threads.

 

Way off topic here. But in this case that's probably a good thing. Thank you for your support of the Miata. Call me gay that's OK but, don't offend my Miata. I have owned this car since December 1989. 21 years this December. I haven't had a single problem with the car except normal maintenance. Unfortunately the Mazda Miata is the most popular sports car ever produced. Which doesn't bod well for the value of mine. (72,000 mi) My great or possibly great, great grandson is going to have a valuable auto someday I hope.

 

With a little more work, maybe we could get ourselves a reality TV show to compete with "The Jersey Shore". Let's keep up the good work. Steelgrey drives his Miata to a gay bar where he runs into MCF who has hidden his true identity from his 2 separate families living on opposite sides of the country. They stair into each others eyes, fall madly in love and drive off to Santa Barbara in MCF's beloved Miata. Regards. Ned.

 

This would be epic, "The Sprint Booster Show" has just enough of a sexual overtone it would draw huge ratings!!

BTW I think Philly is the film business, he might be able to produce the show as he is one the lead content providers, what do you think B?

 

And here is the perfect theme song...

This sounds epic.

It'll remind me of the Soprano's episode when Vito flee's Jersey to a small town, and meets a lovely man with whom he falls in love with.

MCF is clearly Vito here, battling between his good and evil side. Does he stay true to himself, and throw caution to the wind, living a decent and honest life? Or does he allow the repression to eat through him, forcing him to come onto Mercedes-Benz Message boards, insulting other members and a company called "Sprint Booster", due to the pent up anger and aggression that is eating him alive.

What ya think Philly, we onto something here?

 

Um, Santa Barbara?

The storyline needs editing.

There are more hetero hot women in SB than you can shake a stick at. And with a major university right on the beach.

Maybe Provincetown MA, or West Hollywood CA.

Or Asbury Park NJ.

But not SB.

 

OK. I swore I would check out of this...but just like a good reality show, I had to tune back in. I am in, I will shoot the pilot. The way the last few comments have read, there is definatley a comedic element to the drama...sounds like a winner to me.

 

MCF is still hanging onto the illusion that his manhood could return. He actually went to the University of Cal at Santa Barbara and is returning there to try and resolve his identity crisis while escaping the responsibility of his bi-coastal families. Regards. Flavious.

Now that's what I call a booster!! Works with all models. Regards. Flavious.

 

 

We here at Sprint Booster take throttle response very seriously. We have evolved our product to be the most advanced way to address the throttle issue. No understand and know about the problem than we do. We patented our product and spent a considerable amounts of time and money in R&D to present you with the product you see before you.

There is no shortage of people who have questions, or doubts. People are constantly fed a hype on just about every product under the sun. But often it falls short. With Sprint Booster we know from experience. You can attempt to explain someone how sprint booster works. Or you can throw them the product, tell them to drive the car with it installed and then tell us what they think. Almost 100% of the time the person comes back impressed.

And that is what sells our product. Having someone try it on their own car that they know better than anyone else on this earth. They know what the car feels like before, and they sure as hell like how the car response afterwards. The M.B. community embodies this. Generally speaking, those who try it like it. Thats what we aim for. When we hear all the positive reviews, we know we are on the right track.

It doesn't end there. We continuously aim to improve our product. We are still heavily invested in R&D for making Sprint Booster even better and expanding the application list.

In response to comments about papers claiming to have Sprint Booster all figured out. There will always be nay sayers, and we have no problem with that. Constructive criticism is great because it helps us hit the mark when it comes to product expectations, feel, and performance. But calling a document a white paper when its full of statements like....

"I slowly depressed the pedal over a period of about one and a half seconds."

"I did not disassemble the Sprint Booster in my possession, as it was on loan to me.
But it appears to be nothing more than an amplifier."

"I estimate the cost of the electronics to be less than $5, and total parts cost of the unit to be less than $25."

Doesnt really sound to scientific or give you any real idea of what our product does. Your really just left with someone doing a few tests that doesn't actually measure what our product does and sounds more like someone making an arm chair engineer opinion.
To summarize our product. It just makes the car respond how it should. Without Hesitation.

1. We patented the product - Patent number(PCT WO2007066155)

2. Our product has been tested for safety by TUV which has the highest test standards in the Euro zone and many would argue the highest standards in the world. TUV SUD : EC Type-approval: e24031712

3. Our product has been peer reviewed and won best new product at SEMA just over a year ago. Beating out thousands of other innovative and revolutionary products.
Sprint Booster SEMA AWARD
SEMA MEDIA AWARD

4. Our product has been reviewed in depth by countless media groups. (Print media as well as TV programs on SPEED TV)

5. And most important to us!!!! Our product has been reviewed by customers, and the reviews from those who try it are very positive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We stand by our product 100% and put it to the test every day. If you try it and dont think its for you or just dont think its with the investment. Return it and you will get your money back. There is no B.S. with Sprint Booster, no smoke and mirrors. Just a product set out to make your throttle response better. Thats it!

 

If the product is so research intensive, why did you send a sprint booster to an e550 customer that did not attach properly to his car!! That would imply to me that you took the same product that you sell for the e350 and tried to slap it on an e550. Shouldn't the product have been retooled for the needs of an e550? Regards. Ned.

 

That Sprint Booster was not purchased directly from www.sprintboosterusa.com it was likely purchased from a authorized reseller / dealer. That said it is our business to ensure that the application of the product is accurate for each specific vehicle.

Ngerstman. We have engineers investigate issues like this frequently. Every manufacturers make changes to their car. Some even make changes mid product cycle and year as is the case with some Chysler/Dodge vehicles. What makes this even more complicated is there are frequent changes made globally to a platform. Europe may make a change, that isnt reflected here in North America. Or vise versa. If you look at our most recent catalog. You will be able to see the application guide for every vehicle.

Should have any questions please feel free to message info@sprintboosterusa.com

In regards to the E550, we have schedule a vehicle in from M.B. for inspection. So we will determine if the application guild is correct or not. This very well maybe a product mix up at the reseller level.

 

Recently I was driving in a congested area, trying to find parking, which consisted of lots of quick U-Turns, followed by having to mash the gas to avoid from getting upcoming traffic to hit or be held up by me. I realized what THROTTLE LAG is about. Although, I always just credited this to M-B's never-right 7G Tronic (seems it has some bugs still). At one point, I pressed the gas lightly, to get moving, and it barely moved (this followed a quick U-Turn with consisted of "D" to "R", quickly back to "D", which seemed to confuse the Tranny), I then pressed the gas hard, and after about a 1 second delay, the car LUNGED forward with all this might (since I was pressing the gas down hard at this point, because it wasn't moving with a light press, initially).

I wonder of S.B would fix that.

 

K-A, Sprint Booster will be a great addition to you car. I am sure there are many owners of that specific car that would be able to answer this issue. And tell you how effective it was for them.

Does this mean that you do not currently offer a sprint booster for the 2012 e550? I'm a little confused. Please explain. Thanks. Ned.

 

K-A,

Buy one... You will not regret it... it will be the best 299 you ever spent on ur car...
