I got it due to the fact I almost had an accident trying pull into morning traffic. Hit the throttle went to move in the next lane and the car hesitated.
All I can now say is problem resolved.
This is the reason I the Vitesse Throtle Controller. This car N/A has what I call turbo lag. I am used to the roots style blower with instant performance.
I too have noticed that my car is not snappy on the throttle like the old school muscle cars. its got that lag. might have to look into getting one of these for mine. thanks for the info
Put me down as another satisfied customer! Mrs Whiteboy bought me one for Christmas, I just got done installing it and taking the vette out.... DAMN!!!! My 07 is a base coupe, the only mods are Borla exhaust and canned tune from the Diablo inTune. There's so much of a difference with this installed. I tried all the SP settings, though I didn't get to play with it as much as I woulda like to have (it's drizzling here), but I think SP6 is going to be my setting for now.
The install took me about 15 minutes, I fought with the gray connector a lil bit and had a slight problem programming the controller (the instructions could be worded better). No CELs or anything, so now I'm gonna go back in the garage and mount the remote control in the ashtray and put the panel that covers the pedals back on.
Thanks to all who have posted their reviews and tips and tricks, very much appreciated!
To those that are on the fence, this mod has been by far the easiest, cheapest, and noticeable difference I've done to any of my cars (2002 Camaro SS, 98 and 04 base C5s). If you get this, you will not be disappointed! This makes the car drive like it should have from the factory.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

Tom you know I respect you and consider you a friend after all these years so I'm not going to debate the two approaches to do the exact same thing any further. The volume control comparison I wrote above is dead on accurate. But that said, smart reasonable guys can agree to disagree.
Please get this new device and let me know how it works for you.
I will predict, here and now, that your foot is a MUCH better device to modulate throttle than this electronic device and this won't have any effect on your track times in an honest back to back study (as I know you'll conduct). However, you will very much enjoy the faster throttle settings and it'll make your car feel peppier to you.
And after one month when the newness wears off, and surely after one year, you won't adjust the settings any further from whatever setting you end up on.
These are my public predictions. Right or wrong, we'll see.
After reading this entire thread, to this point, I have come to this conclusion too.
My E46 M3 had 6 variations for throttle control (oem) and I found them amusing for a short while. Anything past mid setting and the car acted jumpy, so to speak. Just too quick of a response. It has been awhile but if I remember correctly I kept it at 3, the mid setting, anything more response was just not smooth.
Interestingly the M3 also offered 6 variations for the transmission shifts, paddles. It would be way drawn out on the lowest, for driving on ice and at the highest setting it banged like the rear was going to fall out.
My point here is that after fooling around I left everything mid point which I suppose would be very close to factory settings.
I have fairly trained throttle control foot too with all my yrs of big rig driving.
I read this entire thread wanting to find the magic too but my experience with the M3 throttle setting brought me back to reality.
This and the product being an aftermarket device with the warning for off road use is unsettling. If something was to to go haywire....
The increase in throttle sensitivity is a keen to driving on ice in the highest settings. At least in the M3 and I assume it is the same with the device being talked about.
CoW BOOSTER! is much more powerful, adjustable, cheaper, and does not require mounting brackets, running wires, switches, etc.
The ECM is programmed and from that point nobody knows it there...Except the driver!
Call any time with questions.

Your right. I ordered the Vitesse controller last week. Their website answered all my questions and this thread convinced me to give it a try. Looks like a fun add on. I'm looking forward to it!
Been mulling over buying one of these for a few weeks, decided to order one today. I'm looking forward to getting it installed, pedal lag has become more and more noticeable to me.

We will be installing one in our 2011 GS and in two other customers vehicles. Once tomorrow in a 2006 Corvette and the other in a 2013 LS3 Camaro... Ill post some results tomorrow after the first install... From what I have been reading we should be very pleased with the performance.
I just drove mine after my install. I bought it based on this thread. I'm a believer. It woke the car up. Outstanding mod. Way worth the money. Easy install. 15 minutes. I recommend it!

1st, no affiliation with this company at all.
Basically, this piece goes in line with oem accelerator harness and allows you to dial out lag, increase throttle input responsiveness (sport 1 - 9) or dial in less throttle response (E 1-7) for mileage/economy/valet effect. 0 is stock throttle response.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! This piece at 5 and up is insane. 7 - 9 is instant throttle response. Drive on 5+ for 10 min and go back to 0 and it feels like you're trailering a boat.
Easy install if you can crawl under a dash and pull hush panel under driver dash, no CEL issues, $180, and shockingly effective.
Best mod for the money for sure. I am only passing this on due to my own sheer giddyness.
How long did everyone's shipping take? I ordered on Friday and have not gotten any kind of notification yet. I was expecting at least a notification stating my order was received.

I never received shipping info either but got mine in less than a week. Seem to recall he ships on Tuesdays.
We'll worth the wait... which was short in my case.

Mine just showed up after a few days. Give them time. No notifications were sent.
Good luck Ahmed you are a class act. Thank you for your support.
I agree. This little box should be installed on every Vette that's driven by folks who really enjoy the Corvette experience. I test drove mine on 9 in the sport setting and see no reason to try anything else. The car responds like it should. Very cleaver product. Love it Ahmed. Thank you.
