For me it's not a money thing, it's the thought of crawling under the dash umpteen times, not sure what tools I need going in each time.

Its not too bad... bring a 13mm socket a few extensions... then you can get to it much easier ......hardest thing is getting that darn clip out....LOL

Buy one for Bruze while your at it, he's a little short
Keep your car Billy, you'd be sorry I'll bet
If your bored you could always go the "murdered" look, install some LT headers get a tune + throttle control module and you will be off to the races with your TOP OFF

I wouldn't go as far as getting a new car But I would have to get a new console if it was mine....
You wouldn't need the whole console. Just the ashtray assembly. $35 on eBay.

Do you mean height wise? so he drives around with a booster seat in his vette? And he said he couldn't fit under the dash. I'm thinking of the headers and the tune for sure.

I smacked some guy when he cut me off while riding my Harley years ago. Thinking back it was not the smart thing to do, very stupid.

Hey Bruze, old pal of mine, what's your thought on the video from NSF? It's a shame the guy tested the TC during break in period. But I did notice the car lurching forward upon him setting it in the #6 mode. I think you and I should take the jump (along with NSF) into the TC mod. After all the testimonies and now this video has got me pretty much convinced.

After reading all the comments about the Vitesse Throttle Controller on this forum, I decided to go ahead and order one for my 08 base A6.

I will probably install the one that NSF is buying for me, but my biggest dread is getting under the dash. I can do it physically, I'm just burned out on working on vehicles. It isn't fun anymore.

But: I've been wanting to tie the shift lock back (although I've not had a problem with it) but I've been putting that off for the same reason. If I can talk myself into doing both jobs together maybe it'll work. I'm my own worst enemy.
