I have the Vitesse and love it! Some people have complained about it giving them the "reduced power" state but I've only had this happen once in ~4 years and it was when I flicked the throttle a couple of times quickly (I'm guessing the ECU can't keep up/gets confused with the voltage amplification from the throttle controller).

Same. Never have had an issue and I run mine with a ported TB.

took mine out of my wrecked ls3 car and put it in the l99. i think it actually works better in the l99 as in more noticeable from sp 4 and up,i noticed it changes the shifting considerably. like everyone else i have seen horror stories mine messed up twice in the ls3 car but i just pulled over unplugged it at the petal and plugged it back in later.i didn't think it was that much of a inconvenience for the effect it has the 99.9% of the time that it works.

Here’s a list I made up awhile ago.
Throttle Controllers
I personally have the Pedal Commander. No issues to date and fun to drive with it.

Camaro6 forum members praise the solar performance ones. I’ve never used one before so I can’t comment

Pedal Commander. Works great, no problems. The bluetooth version is the best.

What is the bluetooth for? Change settings using your phone?

That’s basically it. Allows you to hide the button controller under the dash or wherever, as well.

I have a vitesse for sale if you decide to go that way. $100. In the interest of full disclosure, it worked great for about 2 months and then one day my car went into limp mode. I took it off that day.
