It will work. I was the first to install on my Z06. I have been using it on my car for around 2 months. You will like it!

Thanks for letting me know. I already love it in my Stingray and hated the thought of having to give it up when my Z comes in!

Not trying to knock this product and may well end with one if I ever get a build week.

But meanwhile I’m curious how this compares to setting a personalized mode. Can you not set the throttle to aggressive in the on screen c8 settings?

Default Not even in the same ballpark

Hi,

Congrats on getting your new C8 soon! The simple answer is no! While you can switch to different modes the factory provides none of them will come close to the experience the throttle controller provides! Why all of us that have it say WOW! Game changer and holy shi#t! You know we have all already been through all the factory setting modes by now.

Good luck with your new C8 but trust us this controller will be the best $200 you spend!

The throttle response is not adjustable to the levels you can adjust using the Soler controller...Also what I appreciate the most with the Soler controller is the linear response characteristics which I find lacking with the C8 in any drive mode...

I just came back from a drive. Love Sport 6, instant power no lag! For kicks put back into OEM mode. P U! Lol

If you have a C8 you have to try this item! I provided a code for free shipping above. Solerengineering.com

Enjou the long driving Memorial Day weekend!

Just got an email from Soler asking for a review - I gave them a great one. Service, promo codes, ship time, ease of installation and performance of the product all excellent!

Just got the email to give a review, too. Like many of you, I think the mid Sport mode is the sweet spot. This thing has breathed life into my C7 GS and I can't imagine going back to stock.

I think I've already added one of these in my head to the cost of my build. Always thought they were snake oil too, but reading and understanding how they work and the positive reviews here are very helpful.

Heard back from Mike at Soler Performance. He confirmed what @Mitchell_B said that the Throttle Controller would work with the ZO6. Guess I can keep it!

They have them back in stock, just ordered using promo code RWDC8 to save 5%...promo code DLXVETTE didn't work for me but probably didn't have the parameters set correctly to use it.

Default DLXVETTE code for free USPS shipping

Hi and congrats on your purchase! The DLXVETTE code will provide free shipping- provided you select USPS standard shipping and entered your email at checkout prior to entering the discount code. At any rate glad you joined the throttle controller brigade. You will love it on Sport 6!

Default Congrats on the new C8 coming

Congrats you will love the C8! The Soler will be your icing on the cake. I bought mine in the dead of winter and installed when all the snow cleared! Try Sport 6 setting best balance of Wow! And nice controllable driving too. Glad shipping code worked for you…

Good info and great savings! Looks like the new promo code saves even more!

A while back when I ordered mine, I entered promocode RWDC8 for discount and then for free shipping entered DLXVETTE and mine was $197.50 OTD...
