C7 throttle response
I'm new to C7s, sold my 65, just got tired of working on it. I bought a 2014 Z51 coupe with 18k miles. I installed the Solera throttle body and don't see much of a difference in response. Just wondering what others have experienced.

For me, the TB was just ok on its own. If you really want control over the car, the Soler throttle controller is the ticket. It has something for everyone with many modes. I think many people sit in the late Sport modes. I am usually at SP7.

It is one of the settings available with the throttle controller (Sport 7). I have mine set on SP5.
I have both the Soler throttle body and the Bluetooth version of the throttle controller on my 2014 and while the throttle body helped a bit, I think the throttle controller did a lot more to make the car more responsive. Both are very easy to install so that is an added benefit.

I have a '14 z51. It is a notable difference the controller has so I don't know why you don't feel it. Did you download the app and play with the settings?

Buddy loved the change!
So I have mentioned the Soler controllers for a few years! My personal best mod in my C7 and my C8 for under $250!!!
My corvette club buddy just installed one and his exact words driving in Sport 6! “changes entire feel of this car”, wow!
If you want to try in your car try code : ZERO60 at checkout to save $11. (Btw, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee)

You need a soler throttle body and throttle controller. I have it on mine and the car feels lighter and quicker.. Best mod you can do to your C7 hands down! I have a 2014 Z51 also.

Code will save you $$$
If you are buying the controller and or the throttle body use code: ZERO60 at checkout and save money! I drive in Sport 6 sometimes and Sport 5. Those settings clearly provide an improved acceleration and the lag is gone! Best description is it “ unleashes the power this car has”
