Default Throttle Response Controllers

I'm looking to improve the acceleration responsiveness for my stock 2007. I've seen a number of brands out there including Pedal Max, Command Pedal and Soler Engineering which seems to sell both the controllers and the Throttle Body's.

Anyone had any experience with some, or all, of these controllers/systems and are there any issues with them? Most importantly, do they work?

Many thanks for any feedback.

Bought a pedal commander, In and out several times. My car just doesn't like the commander.
Got a solar and all smiles it's great. (2011 GS)

I've ran one of the Vitesse controllers for about a decade now between the GenV Camaro and the C6. I like them, mainly because it's allowed me to make the car respond and feel how I expect it to given my foot pressure and driving habits rather than adapting to the factory parameters. I haven't had any issues with the car or controller.

That said, a tune will mostly eliminate the need for one.

I have to admit that I was quite skeptical of the Soler unit.After installing and using it ,I can definitely say that it works really well.I was quite surprised!I don't have any experience with the others.2013 Grand Sport A6.

I've had the Soler for several months. It is AWESOME!! Several friends have also and feel the same. Tons of settings to find your favorite.

Soler vote here - 08 Z51. Works great and you can turn "Off" the throttle when parked which I like. I've not tried the others, but Soler seems to be setting the new standard for these devices.

I got the Soler Throttle controller and upgraded to a 95mm throttle. Made my 06 base feel like a Z06. Soler is the best !

I have the Soler Engineering unit. It's like a totally different car. It's exceptionally outstanding in every mode. Buy it. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

I have had good luck with pedal commander in multiple platforms including my Corvette now. 10 years, 11 vehicles, 0 issues. Ram, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Ford and GM vehicles. Don't change the settings while touching the gas pedal, follow the instructions on install and you won't have any issues. Well you might have one issue if you are not very flexible, as I get older getting down there under the dash to the gas pedal is getting trickier.
