Default Soler Throttle Controller

A friend of mine, Brother Diego, just installed a Soler Throttle Controller on my 2023 C8. It took about 10-15 minutes max. Talk about a change in attitude when you step on the gas pedal. This device is a great improvement that allows you to have instant throttle response and lets you have varying control of how the vette responds when you step on the gas pedal. I read the technical data as to how the device works, but at the end of the day, I just know what I see and feel, it makes the vette have a total different feel when accelerating. The throttle controller does not add horse power, just makes the vette feel totally responsive, actually feels more like a sports car should when accelerating. If you want what feels like better performance out of your vette, spend the couple hundred bucks to purchase a unit for your vette.

“And that’s the rest of the story.”

At the end of the day, it is the driving experience that makes the car fun. Simple as that.

Saying it does not enhance the driving experience because you can just push the throttle pedal further is like saying that more responsive steering does not enhance the driving experience because you can just turn the steering wheel further.

Well the Solar pedal device as does the Pedal Commander do the same thing only better
The Commander gives you like 32 different settings on throttle response
So if their T Bodies do NOT add HP or TQ then what's the purpose as I have the Commander already
PS I instantly on the Commander set it at max 32
The car was undriveable !! Way to aggressive in 1st gear and jerky especially when the engine was cold I ended up with a 24 setting and it's amazingly quick and responsive
Just my opinion of course
