Might be a good idea to start a new thread with a GB title.

 

Count me in too

 

Payment sent!

 

I contacted Andy to see if he was up for another GB he said yes and sent me a new link. PM me and I will send you the link. Again their are 20 units available. I sent a PM to all of the guys on this thread and the 4 others that have PM'ed me in the last 2 weeks about buying one at the GB price.

Again $250 Shipped and Andy is a quick shipper. I had mine in 5 days even though he set expecations for 2 weeks.

Here is a note on the GB page:

Note: If you want to receive it within 2 weeks, please buy it before Friday May 18, 2007. Otherwises, it may take up to 3 weeks to arrive your address after payment.

 

Thanks Sandoval... like Jrocket suggested we should probably start a new thread.

 

Last time we sold all 20 using the SLKFANS thread by the time I got approval for an official GB we had enough people to do it. So I did not start another thread. I have 16 people that I have PM'ed the link to in the last hour lol!

 

Payment sent...now patiently waiting...thanks Sandoval!!!

 

Thanks Sandoaval

I paid for sprint booster a minute ago. 250$ is nothing. I sent an email to Boulekos Dynamic and asked the price for the gadget. I live in Turkey and Greece is our neighbour so I thought I could buy it cheap and shipping would cost less. It turned out to be 226Euros + 40 Euros for UPS. Funny

 

count me in mang! last time i signed up for the group buy and somehow the thread got deleted or moved and couldn't find it!

you got PM Sandoval!

 

Ordered and paid, Thanks SANDOVAL!!!

Here's my question...does the sprint booster make the car jump even with minimal pedal pressure? I don't want to go flying through the back of my garage when I pull the car in. Those of you that have one, please chime in.

 

count me in too

 

I too am ready to buy but am afraid that what it does is change the throttle tip in response. What that means is that say for 30% of throttle pedal movement it will give 50 or 60% of total available throttle. I do not want that so I'd really appreciate if someone would chime in. My E63 should be in my hands at the end of this month. The E63 I drove had no noticeable throttle lag. Neither did my SL55. Someone pls explain to us.

Thx,
Pablo

 

I just sent my payment... looks like these things are going fast! They are selling on ebay for $300. So we are getting a good deal for $250 shipped.

 

The "lag" that we talk about is evident whenever the throttle is at 0% and then mashed. You can feel it from a standstill, too but mostly when moving. For example, cruising at 70mph down the highway. A slight blip onto the pedal will get no response. The TQ convertor stays loose and the car stays smooth. With the sprint booster, every pedal input is felt. I like that. It can make the ride more jerky, but that is actually in the driver's control.
Another place where it helps me: When I am "playing" with someone in traffic or tight turns. Normally, I used to constantly blip the throttle to keep the lag away. If not, you may be waiting on traffic and the car takes a split second to respond once the hole opens up and you mash it. Now, I just mash it and I'm gone.

However, as I mentioned in my PM to you, I do NOT know if the Sprint Booster will actually help on the track. Obviously throttle modulation is the concern and that is why I went with the AMG model. There is a distinct difference in feel between the one Benz - O gave me and the one I bought. I like the one for the AMG models quite a bit.

 

Will it work on an E63?

 

Yes, it should being that there is only one version available for all AMG models.

 

with the heads up from Benzoboi, just ordered it and sent payment!
now, can't wait!

 

Payment sent! Thanks Sandoval

 

Damn,

If only I was a invester in Sprintbooster. Funny to see all fo the nay-say'ers come out of the woodwork.

Jangy, is my sprintbooster still in the country? Who's car is it currently installed in? Or did you disect it in a feeble attempt to reverse engineer it?

 

If it works on the ML 63, I am in as well!

 

Is this group buy official or just a "sign-up" sheet? I will need 2 for my wife's C230 and CLK350.
