Default Vitesse Throttle Controller

Has anyone purchased one of these? Curious who you purchased it from. The dollar sucks right now.

Yes, love it! I picked one up used from one of the US forum members here, they always come up every once in awhile.

why would you want one i wonder ? no more power. all one needs to do is use the right foot.
not like you are going to get 5 or 10 hp.

Better throttle response always makes a car more fun to drive, that's one of the major bonus's that I have found whenever I've had a car tuned.

Yes, you could just push your foot further on the accelerator to get the same results, but that's not the point. It's nice to be able to get that instant snappy response when you give it some throttle.

Have you actually driven a Vette with one? It's how the car should have come from the factory but guys like you would wrap them around poles.

As Pat and Red mentioned, I'm purchasing this to reduce the throttle lag. I thought I'd get used to the lag, but after 2 years I still notice it.

A fellow forum member just sold me one.

After installing it and playing around with the settings I'm impressed given the price. I have it in Sport 5 and when I press the throttle 30% I get immediate engine response like when cars had the pedal attached to a cable.

Glad you like it!

Try putting it on 9 for a few minutes, make sure the tires are super hot.
