LOL. He is the ultimate "Snake oil" salesman. One of his famous quotes "If you run out of gas you are gonna die" 
I do give him credit for trying. I need to give him a job working under me in sales.

Anyone taken their car in for warranty or recall work and had dealer void coverage? Use to be a lot of chatter on tuning resulting in voiding warranty and un-installing tune wasn't the answer as the memory of the ECM would still show a tune was used. Just curious if 427 problems might be handled differently if this mod installed.

The Vitesse has nothing to do with the PCM/ECM, it is not a tune. There should be no warranty issues with it. The COW mods would be another story I think.

Mr. CoW just stop.
It's understandable to be nervous when a product comes along which is more user friendly and offers more features than what you offer. But your responses are becoming predictable and embarrassing. You make claims that you are more capable than any other tuner, and that may or may not be true. But can't you rest on the satisfaction of your customers as opposed to your politician's approach of slandering your competition?
You also like to fall on the old adage of there's no such thing as bad publicity when you say threads like these cause your phone to ring off the hook with new customers. While there's no way for me to confirm or deny this, I am highly skeptical of it. As someone who couldn't care less if your business is a roaring success or has to be burned down for the insurance money, I find your antics on here comical at best, but mostly pathetic. And I only say comical because it's just mildly amusing to me that a legitimate business man who claims his success thrives on advertising and word of mouth would conduct himself in such a manner. Even some of your goodhearted supporters who have tried to defend you as being passionate about your business, have had to take a step back to avoid guilt by association.
I've been to more than a few Corvette shows throughout the country which you have also attended. Standing in the crowd watching as you pitch yourself, I can say you are very much a salesman. One of my particularly favorite comments was when a gentleman was hesitant to mod his C5 for fear of resale value and you proceeded to tell him a car with your tune will always sell better than any stock car. More nonsenes to make a sale. While you certainly aren't as brash in person as you are on here, most people aren't, your entire demeanor still reaks of self righteousness. I've found few other shops who conduct themselves the way you do yet they still strive. Relying on good products, outstanding repeatable track and dyno results, and just overall good customer service.
So Mr. CoW please if not for our sake, at least for your own, just stop.

I have been following this post from the beginning. I bought a Vitesse and Diablo because of two things...Chuck Cow and his comments on the other Vitesse thread and Diablew seems to have a different attitude. Everyday I would read this thread thinking "I can't believe he hasn't been on here..maybe he is on vacation?" Well I'll be D#@ned, he made it to the party. Like a big bully who knows you and your friends are enjoying yourselves so he jumps in to ruin it. Reminds me of the kid who couldn't be all time quarterback so he took his ball home so nobody could play.
Thank you to all who contributed to this thread. A lot of good info and knowledge shared. Hopefully I will get mine installed this weekend.

Well said. I am grateful someone like Ahmed sees the shortcomings of current products on the market and developes the Vitesse we can adjust on the fly and not worry about warranty issues or blowing up engines or transmissions. Thanks Ahmed. We are all winners...except one guy!

Very potentially unsafe condition - WOT or ETC shutdown.
Yeah, after you're in an accident... or maybe a fatal one.... JUST SIMPLY UNPLUG THE VITTESSE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR!
User error, poor design, or faulty TC signal....
When it happens and you suffer a loss.... Just simply unplug the darn thing.
It will immediately UN CRASH your vehicle and even BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE.
The system was designed and built NOT to fail due to the MASSIVE liability surrounding the potential issues resulting from
messing with the ELECTRONIC THROTTLE system.
Early in this product's release, there are DOCUMENTED issues associated with the installation and use of this product.
ZERO for mine. You decide.
My opinion is that you're poking a stick at a sleeping bear....
1 in a MILLION is a chance I'll never take with my customers.
You decide. More info to come shortly.

After reading all the reviews/install instructions/comments and researched online I ordered my Vitesse throttle controller today.
Driving home from getting my Dyno Tune I was grins ear to ear. East Texas Muscle Cars (Stephen) did a fantastic job... Man what a difference. I would recommend a tune even if you don't do any other mod. GM has put a few restricters on the Vettes and a tune really brings it to life. (Not here to argue about whether to leave these alone or not). With that said... I will let you guys know if this throttle controller helps or not. Thanks for the thread. Happy New Year!
Cheers!

Very easy install. My problem is getting my body in that small space. Besides that a monkey could do this. Now it is raining here in Dallas but I am not trying to break tires loose. I put it on 0 setting did a couple stop and go tests. Put it on 9 setting and did a couple stop and go tests. And BIG nice noticeable difference. I did take the 13mm bolts out and seemed to make it much easier. Thank you Vitesse for the on the fly adjustability that the competition does NOT offer. No more lag. Car reacts now when asked to.
