To those who have experienced the Vitesse Throttle Controller...
If Camaros, from the factory, had the throttle response somewhere between SP6 & SP9, do you think more people would buy Camaros after a test drive?
(BTW, I received mine in the mail yesterday, and will be installing it tomorrow.) |

If Camaros had these from the factory, you would have a lot more wrapped around a pole during a test drive. These are meant for people who know their vehicle and can control it. Otherwise it is dumb to get this, without knowing the vehicles stock power and handling first....

By inserting one of these things into the throttle circuit you are effectively ceding control of your car to it. The highly engineered and, presumably, extensively tested factory electronics are now being controlled by some box you bought off the internet. Hopefully they are being built in a quality manner and not by some sleep deprived kids in China.
If the circuitry on your TV fails you miss Sons of Anarchy. If the circuitry on this fails you potentially go WOT. I dunno, maybe I'm being overly paranoid but for something that does not make my car faster I'm not going there. |

I have heard of a couple people having the CEL come on and the computer goes into reduced power mode. So I feel pretty safe with this.
