Default Soler throttle controller

I assume most people are running both the throttle controller and throttle body together? Is the the throttle controller compatible with the stock throttle body, or is that defeating the purpose? Thanks

The throttle controller works with any throttle body. I'm running it with my stock throttle body without issue. I've heard the Solar throttle body does provide a better feel though.

the controller is universal. it just fakes pushing down the accelerator pedal further than you are actually pushing it -- you get the same effect by just pushing it further in the first place.

I suggest reviewing this thread, as well perusing Soler's website

Nice over simplification.. C7's throttle response sucks! When I drove my car home for 20 hrs after flying out to get it, and never having driven a C7 before.. I bought the car unseen. Also having owned Corvettes from C4-C6, the C7 has the worst throttle response I've ever felt. It literally sucked to drive. Having to push the gas pedal that hard is beyond stupid! An absolute **** poor design. If it wasn't for the Soler throttle controller I put on the car, I would have sold it and bought a C6. I love these guys that say, just push down harder on the gas pedal.. Anyone that says that , doesn't know **** about these cars!

He always says the same thing when the throttle controller is mentioned. He neglects to mention the throttle opening curve isn't linear and leaves much to be desired.
