Search my man. Search. Many reviews. Most quite positive. I like mine but don't think it's world changing. For under $200 it's a no brainer.

By mistake, I ended up with two. Great product but I don't need two. How about $145 shipped to your door?

On edit, worked great on my 2016 Z06.

Everyone is amazed by Tesla acceleration and rightfully so. But a Tesla cant finish a single lap of a road course with full power. People bitch about the Z06 overheating in extreme conditions. Imagine if they owned a Tesla. Sheesh.

I don't understand why people are amazed by the Tesla acceleration. It's like being amazed a frog can jump. It's the nature of the beast. It's also the nature of the beast that it can only make a few runs enjoying that acceleration.

Much like a Z06 going into limp mode after three good laps on a road course due to heat soak?


Trust me, I'm not a tesla fan, but op's statement above leads one to believe his tesla race is a short run, not 10 laps at COTA.

In that type of race, he'll have his hands full trying to "show the tesla his tail lights".
