I use Sport 7 in manuel mode. You will find your perfect setting and leave it there.

I hate a touchy gas pedal. I've used throttle controllers like this to make the profile more gradual in say the first 1/4 of pedal travel, for more graceful takeoffs. The C8 fortunately has a nice progressive throttle so I don't need to resort to softening it any.

Does Soler give plots of pedal position versus output for each mode #? I'm curious to see the mapping.

I find that the C8's pedal response is way too soft for me....

This is the only plot that Soler provides which shows relative responses....There is quite a number of profile options to choose from ....

I'm still using Sport 5 setting which I find perfect for me particularly when driving in Z mode with these settings below....

Exactly. That's the reason I purchased the Soler.

Great info, thanks! Is there an explanation of what the M/A option does to the response of the pedal (ignoring whether the car is actually M or A)? I'm envisioning a sort of timed ramp-up. Perhaps Soler has this info? Are they on the forum?

Yes, you can do that. The settings will stay the same until you change them. In your case that will be done by plugging in the display instead of launching the app.

I just had the Soler Throttle Controller installed at Corvettes at Carlisle last week. Unbelievable difference and I only have set at Sport-5.
Out of the gate, the throttle response is crazy quick.

I had my DCT filter changed at the dealership yesterday. I put the controller back to stock setting so the tech would not press the pedal and fly forward into his work bench, not knowing it was set on sport 7. Back to sport 5 on the way home.

Or better yet, set it to Valet so the Dealer doesn't hot rod it!

I took my car into the dealer last week, and set the Soler TC back to OEM before dropping it off. Forgot to set it back to Sport mode when I picked it up. Been busy, and most of the miles since then were highway, so I didn't really notice. This morning I set it back to Sport 5. I had forgotten just how much more alive the car feels with the Soler installed!
