Arrow ThrottleBoost Presents: Sprint Booster Group Buy

Hello MBWorld -

As proud new sponsors here, we're thrilled to bring you the amazing Sprint Booster product. Due to overwhelming response, we're immediately setting up a group buy for all Sprint Booster products for Mercedes Benz.

If you're unfamiliar with what the Sprint Booster does, here's a brief tutorial. All modern MB vehicles feature what is known as 'Drive By Wire' throttle positioning. This means that stepping on the gas pedal creates an electronic signal which is interpreted by the car's computer before the throttle is physically opened. Translation, it's not the direct connection that an old-fashioned cable used to provide. The Sprint Booster is a self-contained device that amplifies the signal. Now, when you press the gas, the car accelerates without the annoying throttle lag. It does so without a chip, software, or firmware flash. Just plug it in and it works. Unplug it, and it's gone - no lingering effects.

So, of course you want one - who wouldn't?

Let's talk about the details first:

1. Pricing is confidential, and therefore we cannot publicly post it. We need to ask you to do the same. You can PM or email us for pricing, where we'll remind you to keep it to yourself!

2. There will be two discount levels - one for 10 person group, one for 15+. The 15+ price will be the absolute lowest we can go.

3. The group buy will be limited to two weeks run time, and cannot be extended. After that, it's back to our already low price of $299 shipped.

4. International customers - please contact us by email - sales@throttleboost.com - for shipping quotes, not by PM. Email is far easier for us to track, and we don't want to leave anyone without information.

5. W212 550 owners - we recognize there is currently an open question about compatibility. Sprint Booster is working to bring us a definitive answer. For now, please feel free to add yourself to the list without obligation. If the units are not compatible, we'll remove you.

6. All participants - when adding your name to the list, please include your model/year MB in the line. The list in this thread will be the official group list - if you've informally added your name in other threads, please list it here in addition.

7. To learn about the price, please PM me here, or email sales@throttelboost.com. We'll respond as quickly as possible.

8. Group buy will end on Monday 2/23/11 at the end of the day (let's say 11:59pm).

9. Once the lists are up to speed, we will post a coupon code to be used when ordering on the site that will automatically apply the discount.

10. What are you waiting for? Get your name up here!

PLEASE - PM US FOR PRICING.

UPDATE: YOU MAY NOW ORDER THE PRODUCTS ON OUR WEBSITE - WWW.THROTTLEBOOST.COM.

PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING COUPON CODE TO RECEIVE THE FULL DISCOUNT:

Thanks to everyone! Let's keep the list growing!

Important Notes:

1. Please PM or email US to get pricing - we might miss your request in the various threads.

2. The 15 person discount is the lowest we can go. Unfortunately, we can't offer lower pricing.

3. Look for a coupon code soon. Ordering will be opened to you at the max discount once that coupon code is posted - you can simply order on the website.

4. The group buy list and coupon code will expire on 2/23/11.

Thanks so much!
