Soler throttle body and throttle control unit
I know this has been talked about before but I just have to comment again. Installed the Soler throttle body a few weeks ago and just now the Soler throttle control. Installation of both was very simple. It is almost unbelievable how these 2 little products have woken up my 2015 Z06!! Literally night and day difference. My kid almost **** himself on the test drive! I have the TC on the Sp 5 setting which was recommended as the most linear setting in the instructions. It feels like a race horse at the gates! I love it. No CELs, no issues whatsoever. Just pure acceleration the second I touch the pedal. To anyone thinking of adding these 2 products, don't even think about it. Just do it!!! Its the 2 best simple, REMOVABLE mods you will make on this car!!

Another in a long line of positive testimonials for the Soler products. These two things are on my mod list.

I have the Controller and makes the car much nicer to drive. When I started test driving the C 7's I absolutely hated the Throttle feel. I now just purchased your Throttle Body because of the Great feedback from this site. Hope to get it this week.

I went with the throttle body first and noticed a decent difference over the stock TB. But then came the throttle control and it made a dramatic difference! I guess the two together work in tandem for max results. On a side note, find a wide, open road or a vacant parking lot and put the throttle control in the Ludicrous-9 mode.. It will take days to wipe the smile off of your face and anyone riding with you will have their very soul smahed into the seat!!! And remember to bring neck braces....seriously

I have had the controller for a couple of months now, love it. Yesterday I installed the TB and set the controller to OEM. Went through the relearn procedure and was pleasantly surprised to find the TB mod everything I hoped it would be. Couple more learning trips then put the controller back in sport and let the fun begin. Smoother idle, and no more tip in bog, thanks Mike for two great products.

Holy mother of God! I just got the Soler in and you guys weren't joking. The kick this car should have had is now here.. In spades and I only had it on SP 5.. Feels as good if not better than my brothers C6 did now. He drove it and he said, that's what I'm talking about! We were both disappointed that it didn't have the kick his car had. Now we are smiling big! Thanks to Mike the owner for his help on the phone.. Truly a stand up guy.. So.... what will the throttle body do for me?

In my experience the throttle body smooths out the response over the entire RPM range. It is particularly noticeable off the line when both the M7 and A8 can feel as if the car is going to stall inspirited acceleration for a stop. The throttle body cures this bog. (Note this is different from the laggy response of the first 30% of the stock throttle mapping.)

I am pleased to have both. I started with the throttle body as the bog bothered me. The throttle body took care of this. The throttle controller I added not to solve a problem but for amusement. It is a hoot.

I have a base model M7 with Mike’s Soler TB and TC. I recently test drove a low mile, unmodified, bone stock, GS M7 (WHICH HAS LOWER TRANY GEARS THAN MY BASE MODEL). That car felt very sluggish and lazy compared to mine. By far the easiest, best bag for the buck C7 Mod.
