I'm having a hard time understanding why Mercedes or any other car manufacurer would set up the drive by wire system the way ours is. Why wouldn't you want the computer to deliver optimum performance all the time and not "dumb down" when your driving habits are such that you don't drive agressivley. It seems to me that if it does " dumb down" it would also "tick" the computer back up when you did drive it agressivley. But why the need to make any adjustments at all?

Also in another thread the poster mentions to another poster that the reason for his percieved poor performance may be that his Crossfire is still in "break in mode" if it has less than 8000 miles. Is this true and what adjustments does the computer make at the 8000 mile mark?

My Crossfire has under 8000 miles and I want to know what to expect.

Any answers to help me understand the above will be appreciated.

My Crossfire runs great but I did drive one that I believe needed the Throttle adjustment so I know what it feels like.
