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.

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!

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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?
