Default Vitesse throttle control?

Ok so anyone that has a Vitesse throttle control on their c7 ( be it a stingray, GS,or Z06 ) what's the thought? we have a sprint booster on our c6 and it made a huge difference, just curious about the vitesse?

Look at a search in here ONE guy has posted that it is the best thing since apple pie. Then again one other guy sold one that he got.. Robert

I have one
removed it
on the bottom end it will slow the throttle to a crawl
on the top end I can't tell that it makes difference at all
maybe I'm doing something wrong

The Vitesse may not be as relevant on the C7, since the C7 throttle response curves are already custom mapped for each drive mode, unlike the C6 which had only one ETC map.

Have had the Vitesse for 2 years. I love the throttle response, especially at the low rpm.

I found that it is essential that it is calibrated correctly to work properly. Took me several tries to get it dialed in.

I have one and definitely recommend it. I've been very pleased with the improvement in throttle response.

Personally, I didn't like it on my '16 M7 Z06, but love it on my '17 GS A8. I'm not sure if it was the LT4 or the M7, but the car was very "jerky" even at low settings (2 or 3.) The LT1 and A8, on ther other hand, is a perfect combination for the Vitesse controller - very quick throttle response (setting 5 or 6) without the "on/off" throttle jerkiness.

I love mine. I keep it set at 7 but dial it back to 0 which is stock, for bumper to bumper traffic. As previously stated, it's imperative to properly calibrate it.

I am very pleased with mine, which I keep set on level 9. I would prefer it be even more responsive.

I have one and use it occasionally. I have a z51 a8. Generally go no more than 4 or so as it makes it too responsive for me. For traffic I find that e4 (slow down throttle) works well.

Interesting how the responses are all over the place. On my car, with the M7, is is easily the best modification I've done to the car. I use it at SP6.

^^^no kidding! I am one of the few that took mine out, but thinking I might try it again. I liked the ability to tweak the response, but my C7 is my daily driver, and I found it hard to drive around a typical parking lot at slow speed without an annoying surging. OK, I could shut it off every time I slow for parking-lot speed, but for now I just took it out. (I did calibrate it several times)

Probably one of the best mods you can make. As stated above, it really wakes the car up. Vitesse has fantastic customer service as well. I would not hesitate to do it again.
