Eloy's been hounding me to send him my ECU for this latest tune. Since I barely drive my car anymore and it sits in my garage all week, I didn't think it was necessary anymore. Well, not anymore. Can you say....SOLD! LOL!
Thanks for making me spend more money on my car, David. Hahahahaha!
PS - Mark - You better get this tune or I'll leave you in the dust at our next meet.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
(WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )
I just spent the afternoon at RPi getting my ECU re-flashed to the new RPi/ESS tune 
The old tune felt jarring under wide open throttle. During acceleration the car would jolt forward violently. Towards red line, the car felt like the power would taper off. With the RPi/ESS tune acceleration is much more uniform. When the car reaches 5k RPM the car pulls heavily! It almost felt like i have a 25lbs shot of nitrous!!! I immediately noticed a difference between the two tunes. I love it 
Thank you Eloy@RPi and the boys at ESS for such a great product. I highly recommend anyone contemplating on ECU re-flash to give the RPi/ESS tune a try.
