Soler...my experience.
Good morning everyone. Hope all had a great Thanksgiving. Anyways, installed the Soler TC and like everyone said, it is an amazing product. I found looking through videos that people prefer the SP5 setting. I actually prefer a little hotter at SP7. Believe it or not since mine is a z51 automatic, it feels much better to drive in that mode imo. All in all, just wanted to share my experience. Thanks.

I have mine set at SP6. I was hesitant to purchase a TC because it didn't make sense to me (just stomp on the gas if you want more input). But I'll admit that it really transformed the car and made it more fun to drive. It's a simple and effective mod.

I have an M7 Z51. I had a little trouble getting mine to be consistent, switching between sport, touring, and track modes in the vehicle settings. I decided to try the “AI” mode. It does seem like it’s more consistent learning my driving habit's.
Also a word of warning, I tried Launch Control with it set in AI mode, that doesn’t work. I emailed Soler, they said it should work in factory setting, I haven’t tried that yet. All in all, it has been a great improvement!

I run sport 5-6 in Summer, but change things up early in season, or late when I have no traction..

Once you've done the initial install and connected on BT you don't even need the display connected at all and you can make setting changes on your pphone without the display being hooked up.

I have both the Soler throttle body and the Bluetooth throttle controller on my car and they work very well. Transformed the car into a much more responsive ride.

I had installed a Soler device in my last C7, a 2015 MN7 and I absolutely loved it. That car was out of warranty and the device was not BT.I don't think BT was available then.
I am not sure if my new C7, a 2015 Z51 auto with a warranty can be fitted with a BT Soler without jeopardizing my 48 months warranty from CArMax .
I would love to know if warranties are not affected by this device.

I've had a Vitesse Throttle Controller in both my 2013 C6 GS and since Day One in my 2017 C7 GS. When I traded the C6 and removed the TC to sell it to a fellow Corvette club member, I was amazed how sluggish the car felt in stock form taking it to the dealer.
Great mod for the $, and the Soler is now the latest and greatest.

Their TB is great. No more low speed stumble with the M7 & RPM's stay more consistent when shifting. The controller I don't want. Had a controller on my charger & the higher settings made the car very twitchy.
