We currently have 3 Vettes….. my wife’s C7 Stingray M7, my C7 Z06 M7, and C8, obviously an auto…. Every single one of them have a throttle controller…and all my previous Vettes as well. That is the first mod my Corvettes usually get…. Followed by an MGW shifter 😊…. It’s almost comical when people who have never tried one say “just give it more gas” it is a mod that needs to felt first hand. I currently use Solar Controllers and have been very happy with them. The only downside is they have skyrocketed in price over the years….

Yep before Soler had a "get more throttle opening with less pedal movement" device they sold a true improved throttle body (and still do.) Mike at Soler has a great understanding of tip-in throttle response. Since my business involves transient gas flow including "choked flow" was interested and bought one for my C7 Grand Sport. It performed better than the Vitesse throttle controller I bought to get what I had in my non-MRC 2014 Z51 I always drove in Track. I was used to its linear throttle response not the little "old lady schoolteacher" slower tip-in setting in Touring. Was an issue for me with a standard shift when taking off re clutch/throttle response.
These are a few of the ~30 Pics in my 7-page Doc describing the difference, many Mike's Pics: http://netwelding.com/Soler_Mod_TB.pdf
Smart of Soler for adding the much easier to understand, "Amplify your foot movement, does nothing to transient air flow or power" device!
