Default Soler Throttle Controller

Just installed, or rather my mechanic did (smaller and much more agile), a Soler throttle controller on my '08 base convert. It's a 6 sp, Z51, NPP car. Stock except for an Airaid intake and a street tune. The mechanic's first words to me when I picked up the car were "Be careful... it's a beast". It's set on SP2 and I am rather astounded by the responsiveness and acceleration. I know the car won't go faster, but it is damn well quicker. I now spend a lot of time burning 93 octane gas testing higher settings and I smile a lot.

I should add that my wife is unimpressed. Her words... "You'll just kill yourself faster". Very encouraging!

Throttle controllers might not make the car any faster, but they can certainly make them more fun to drive and that's really the most important item :-)
