Vitesse Motorsports Throttle Controller
I just got this in the mail today before I had to go to work. I didn't have time to install it as I was running late. I'll install it tonight when I get home unless I'm mandated to do overtime, in which case it will have to wait till the following day. If anyone is unfamiliar with this mod it has been stated that this is the best bang for your buck mod by many in the 5th gen crowd including myself. The seat of your pants difference is incredible. See this thread:
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=380064 Unfortunately a storm is coming tonight and it will rain for the next 3-4 days so I'm not sure I'll be able to test it but I will try. This is not something you would want at the higher settings if there's inclement weather. If this is anything like what it was on my 5th gen, I'll be grinning ear to ear with it at the mid to high settings. |

All it is basically is a TPS sensitivity adjuster, not sure what the big deal is lol...
While the stock throttle can be a tad laggy, it's done for safety reasons. A throttle that's too sensitive can give the illusion of "more power", but can be overkill. Especially if you have to drive in snow or rain. I could mess with this on my Coyote I just sold via my tune. How much is this thing? As a tune can do this plus a multitude of other things. |

Looking forward to seeing if this works with the 6th gen. Did you call them to confirm?

I talked to Ahmed during the Christmas weekend and he confirmed it will work on the 6th gen. They have not updated their website. I asked him to send me PayPal invoice but the quicker way to do it is to order the model that is for the 2014 and up Corvette stingray.

I personally would rather put that $179 towards a legit tune ($500 or so), that can do what this thing does, plus much, much more.

This dosen't void your warranty. A tune will.

A tune doesn't void your warranty unless they can prove it was the cause of the specific issue. Also depends on your dealer, as I've brought my modded cars to my dealers with not one problem ever. Even so, I've tuned my past five cars within six months of ownership, a good tune can transform these cars (especially if you have an auto) like you wouldn't believe, and remove throttle lag, and set the throttle sensitivity however you want.

I've read many stories about guys with C6 Z06 cars that dropped valves and had warranty claims denied because the car was tuned. If your dealer is mod friendly then your lucky as most are not. |

I know this sounds funny but it depends how big you are. I'm 5'6" 150 pounds. It's easy for me to get into the footwell to access the accelerator pedal. It's literally 10 minutes to attach it to the existing harness and program it. To program it you have to depress both buttons then press down on the pedal all the way. That's it. Removing it would take even less time. If your a big guy, this is going to be a PITA to install but it's doable.

But if you get a hard time, there is the Mag-Moss warranty act. They can't deny all coverage simply due to a tune. Most just don't bother to fight, but my friend did and his lawyer got him the coverage. Thankfully I have good dealers... |
