Default Acceleration Lag

I'm trying to locate the device that cures the lag in the acceleration when you step on it in neutral and then have to wait a few seconds to hit it again for my 2015 Z06. Spoke to a guy from NY at Carlisle in August, he recommended I try the Forum. Any ideas?

Look no further than the Soler Engineering throttle body and controller.

I'm assuming this is a problem in the automatics only? My stick doesn't have the problem? One more reason why, not to buy the auto?

The manuals have the delay as well.

Why would there be a lag in the throttling of a high performance 650hp Z06 supercharged V8 in the first place? That doesn't sound right to me.

I think he is referring to that Vitesse controller.

Just checked out Soler's website - first I've heard about them was on this thread. Looks like a quality product, I was leaning towards a Katech or a Mamo but still researching.

I suspect all agree it should not be there. But it is, on both the autos and manuals.

One does not notice it as much with the manual as we naturally compensate with more throttle/less clutch engagement.

Thanks, for checking us out. There is a lot of information here in the forum and on our technical webpage. Do not hesitate to contact us shall you have any questions. We also offer exchanges. Don't forget to check our throttle controller as well, the combination is great and the total price for both is unbeatable.

Thanks,

All new cars have this delay. Drive by wire sucks.

My C5 A4 had a throttle delay. It was cured with a speed tune.

Been driving manual trans cars for decades and one of the first things I noticed in my C7 M7 was the mushy low end throttle response which led to a record number of stalls/near stalls when starting from a stop.
Ordered a Soler throttle body and looking forward to the improvement.

I installed a Sprint Booster for the ultimate in ease of installation and complete control of throttle response that you can change at the touch of a button. This gives you the ability to add and subtract throttle response from stock to extremely aggressive by just pushing the up/down buttons while idling or driving.

I had two Vitesse controls (one of each version) and both eventually gave my car fits - they would send the RPMs to max in an instant while driving along steady state and I had to shut the car down to get it to stop.

Sprint Booster has been perfect and I love the ability to tailor the throttle to traffic conditions at any time. You can turn it off anytime you want as well. It remembers the last setting you set it at.

Installation involves plugging this in between your throttle connectors at the accel pedal, running the controller wire up to the dash location you want it at and sticking it there. 5-minute install.



I placed mine here where it is easy to see and adjust while driving.

Let me know the quality of the controller. I have always used Throttle Commander. But the Soler is much cheaper. As long as it is the same quality, I will go with them.
