Lyle, today on National Corvette Day, I just purchased my very first Corvette. I listened to every one of your videos. And felt I made a great purchase. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. So I bought a 2003 zo6 with 38k miles and a tastefully moded engine 425 to the tires. ❤ all your videos!! ✌️. Brian in Jacksonville, Florida.
Installed this product into my 2017 Grand Sport that has a manual transmission. It really is a great product. Depending on the setting the throttle response is phenomenal! Takes an already great car and makes it that much more enjoyable to drive. Just a side note on the installation. There's really not an easy place to mount the wire harness with the tie wraps in the C7. I ended up using some heavy duty velcro and velcroed the harness to the carpet behind the accelerator.
Just installed this in my C6. Wow! It's raining at the moment so I was only able to go through the settings briefly, but the difference is drastic. Especially Ludicrous & Drag Race modes. Sport mode seems to be a good balance of increased performance while maintaining drivability. Soon as the pavement's dry I'll really put this thing through its paces! Thanks for the recommendation Lyle!
I installed the Soler Performance DLX Electronic Throttle controller on my 2017 Z06 two weeks ago. This is a great product! No more throttle lag, totally Bluetooth compatible and really makes the car even more fun to drive!
I installed one of these a couple weeks back, it’s a fantastic product. They also offer a throttle body that is modified to allow the equivalent CFM as a 91mm. When you remove your throttle body just box it up and send it back for a core and get your $120 back.
Hi Lyle - I sold my 2019 Porsche Carrera and purchased a 2016 Corvette Stingray, Z51, 2LT in Feb 2023 and have zero regrets. I own something that I can actually work on without dropping the engine, worrying too much about error codes and delivers the same umph normally aspirated. No regrets. In my prior life (recently retired) I was an aircraft mechanic and inspector and after school have over 30 years design and development weapons systems experience with the DOD. The reason I bring this up is while I have broad experience with various systems and platforms, I'm smart enough to recognize, listen to and appreciate others experience where I am lacking. Your knowledge, skills and abilities have greatly assisted me in getting my Vette where I want it. I found you by searching "C7 issues" which led to your belt tensioner video and ultimate subscription. I recently installed a ported Soler Performance throttle body and bluetooth throttle control module (huge!), AFE CAI, and other modifications. All in all THANK YOU for this channel, your insight and advice. Richard
Just had my Soler throttle controller installed on my '19 C7. what a difference! Thanks! When I bought the product they even gave me a veterans discount.
Just put it on my 11 C6 GS. It’s awesome. Really can feel a big difference in just sport 0 mode and there’s 10 levels for each. Worth every penny. Super cool to be able to change it on the fly too! Working up to the Ludacris mode! 😀
2006 Corvette Z51 LS2 A6 3LT Le mans Blue. A.K.A. "VetteBlu" Greetings & Salutations, I purchased a Soler Throttle Controller from C&S Corvettes. C&S Corvettes provided outstanding customer service through out the purchase process. I received the Soler on Monday and I installed it on Tuesday. The Soler unit is fantastic. I cannot believe how quick/fast my car actually is with the Soler installed. I know it doesn't increase the Peak Horsepower or the Peak Torque but man-o-man, the Soler gets you there so much quicker/faster along with adjusting the shift points for the A6 also. With so many setting choices you can't help but find the one(s) you want. The Soler puts the "Go" back in the "Go" pedal. I promise for a stock LS2 A6, the Soler has made this C6 into a brute all by itself, Really! Thanks to Lyle and C&S Corvettes for making these available at a very reasonable price and with great service. Regards,
Just installed this on my 2008 C6. (LS3; auto transmission) I was originally interested in the Red Light Bandit, but was concerned about the issue with throwing codes that many seemed to have. So I had resolved myself not to get one. Saw this video and did some research, then ordered from C&S. It arrived in 3 days (FL). Just got back from my initial run and I can confirm that though it does not add horsepower, it definitely makes the car more responsive. (No pedal lag). Tried Ludicrous on level 5 on an open road and it pinned me to the seat, with an rpm of about 3500. The unit was relatively easy to install (I am 6’6”, so getting under the dash was a chore), no code issues, and easy app set up, too. Bottom line, this unit will make driving my C6 more fun (not that it was bad to begin with), and makes the C6 drive the way it was designed to.
Lyle, I had installed a Pedal Commander on my C6 2009 Corvette about six months ago. It’s got the four settings and one through 10 adjustments within those settings if I go to the sport plus mode it’s almost undrivable I have a six speed it tends to want to jump I keep it in sport at about seven or eight totally drivable and very responsive thanks
I heard about the RoarPedal unit that is similar from one of my Corvette club friends. I have had it in my C6 for about 6 months now and it is worth every dime! It is impossible for it to add horsepower but you swear that it does by the feeling!
Just installed the solar performance throttle. Controller Today This thing is. I've been playing with it all day. In sport mode number seven, it is fun.
Lyle, I already have the Pedal Commander from you installed on my C6 GS, will this throttle control device be in conflict with my pedal commander? Or, will this product actually further improve my throttle response? Thanks.
Lyle, I love the videos that you do for us! I just bought a 2005 C6. Are there any plans for a theottle control for the 2005 in the future? Glynn Tallahassee Fl.
That is a great gizmo but I want to know what is different about the C5 ECM that makes it incompatible with these devices. Please get technical if you can.
It sounds great , I had a Pedal Comander in my 2020 Mustang GT that I just got rid of to get my 16 C7 , I’m wondering how much better this Module is than the Pedal Comander as I was going to go with a P.C. as I know that they work . Thanks for the info , & keep up the great work !
If the battery wasn't unhooked during the installation, the CEL can be activated. Unhooking the battery is like anesthesia for your car while you do minor surgery. Whatever dealer told you that a throttle programmer voids your warranty was completely incorrect. The Soler Programmer does not affect any system on the car other than allowing you to manage the sensitivity of the throttle pedal. I'm sorry that you had the issue with the CEL. If you wish to discuss it further, feel free to call me at 800-886-5064. Lyle
Hey Lyle can you show an installation video on replacing the front MAG RIDE SHOCKS on C7 wide body Corvette !!!! There are no videos on the installation of the front MAG RIDE SHOCKS …. Thank You 😊
lyle...ive spoken 2 you many times..i live in central or..i have a 19 zo6 manuel-transm..got it in october..motor is stoc.....love this...but im NOT A PHONE_GUY>>>>i only have a flip telephone.....is there another way?????
Sold out?! Already?? Not surprised I guess. My 2012 GS with throttle controller became a better car, more responsive, more adjustable to conditions, not faster but feels faster. Gets the car to power band quicker. Easily my best mod so far. So what do you want: Mileage or Smileage!! 😁😁😁
Sorry I am late to the game here, I too own C6 GS in my Vette collection. Once of my favorites, its the last year of the analog gauges with the round corvette lights, plus wide Body kit, a keeper for sure. I bought these units for my C6 mentioned above and my C7 and one for my 911 Porche, which they just so happen to make. Question, while we all know it does not create any more HP gains, by creating a more responsive throttle response, should it not translate to a tad quicker 0-60 & 1/4 times ?
Lyle, I just installed mine in my C7. I set up the app and I put the small display in the car. Does the app override the display in the car? So if I set it to valet from the app, how does the valet not change it on the display? Hope this makes sense. Thx
What is the difference between automatic and manual setting in the controller? I just realized I've been driving around my M7 in automatic mode. Duh....
I just installed mine on my c6. Makes a difference forsure. Crazy how laggy these cars are factory. Just dont switch modes while accelerating mine froze and was stuck on eco until i restarted the car.
Not that I disagree with a comment but… It was such a great product in my Corvette, I bought a secondary one got my truck just to use economy and get the best possible gas mileage possible. Works great. 😁 .. I’m surprised more people don’t use these. Mine have already paid for themselves.
Thanks Lyle great product but since I bought the the RED LIGHT BANDIT. I’m going to stay with it but if I didn’t have the Bandit I would buy the new throttle controller. But I really do luv the Bandit !!!!
The Soler Programmer will work the same way in any car mode and with either transmission. It only affects the throttle sensitivity, and you can adjust that on your phone or by using the included display interface. It also allows you to lock out the throttle completely to make the car immobile as a security feature if you wish.
Lyle, I know this video is from 11 months ago and as interesting as this thing is. I want one for my 2003 Z06 but this is not. Do you know or have run across an item like this for the C5 Corvette? Thanks in advance for any info you have or find.
I bought a red light bandit based on your videos and all it did was throw my car into limp mode. I wound up contacting red light bandit. They made me wait almost 6 months as they said they had a new replacement coming that was going to fix those issues. So I waited 6 months. Got the new red light bandit it worked good for a day and then put the car back in to limp mode every single time for total waste of money
I had one on my 19 Grand Sport made a big difference they were 99.00 and Soler was the supplier and this was in 2019 now not sure price , most likely double that price
Lyle, I just bought a 2012 Gran Sport convertible and found your TH-cam channel. And just discovered your video on the Solar Performance DLX. It appears C&S Corvette is sold out. When do you think you’ll have more in stock?
I received the Soler DLX. Simple to install. I don’t recommend Ludicrous mode when your wife is in the car with. Wow! It looks like l’ll be using Ludicrous when by myself.
I really wish it were possible, but every company I have asked about it have told me that developing a system for those cars and the 2005 C6 would be far too complex and expensive to be worth doing. :( Lyle
I’m going to get one soon. I’m also concerned about the problem with my C7 system that controls shifts between 4 silencers to 8 I hear it my destroy engine and or transmission will this product help
Question, while we all know it does not create any more HP gains, by creating a more responsive throttle response, should it not translate to a tad quicker 0-60 & 1/4 times ?
I love the push in the seat of my C6 which was tuned to 477 lbft at the rear wheels and while it gives my Porsche Twin Turbo a run to 100 mph what I really hate about the Vette is there is little steering or throttle feedback. IOW the steering wheel feels the same going sideways at 60mph or straight ahead at 45mph. While I am not a SW engineer it seems to me that this effect should be able to be tuned into the computer. Or? Love to get your input. And pls do not tell me to bypass the PS. I have a 55 yo Sunbeam Tiger and if I want to work out I will drive that. Thanks
Good Morning, I always seem to not be able to catch up on Your Videos. I am intrigued, but cautious on this Soler Performance DLX for C-6. Couple of questions: 1) I have a 2013 GS, with the slush shift rev matching Transmission (it is like driving my GrandMothers Station Wagon) that does not shift crisp in any possible way, what effect will it have if any on that (meaning any positive?)? / 2) Aftermarket can not always be better, but You bringing this product to light, makes me curious, but I am strickly famous for OEM, what long term effects if any are there? Your thoughts/reply will be appreciated.
This module doesn't permanently change anything on the car. When you plug it into the car, it simply removes the built-in throttle lag. It is fully adjustable through your smartphone, or you can use the small digital interface panel. It will not affect any other system--just the responsiveness of the throttle. It will not change shifting or anything else. It doesn't give your car more power or change engine mapping in any way. Look at it this way: From the factory, your car registers a 25% pedal depression when you are actually pushing it down 50% of the way. This module allows you to get 50% (or more) throttle when you depress the gas pedal down 50%. It livens things up quite a bit! If you remove the module form your car, everything goes back to normal. I hope this answers your question. Lyle
I don't think it is possible with the LT1, as that throttle body is still cable-driven. The programmers work on the fly-by wire- systems, and even then the C5 and 2005 are too archaic to be adjusted with a programmer like this. Lyle
The only issue I have with these lag eliminators is the metal surface clutch in first gear. Could be because I grew up with rubber pedals and the surface tension is an issue for me. Maybe no one else experiences this, but when I use skateboard covering on the clutch, it's a whole lot easier to take off in first gear. Then, these things work really well for me. I do wish someone with a 3D printer would market custom-fit skateboard covers for the C6 clutch.
Are you saying the small black screen unit doesn't have to be in the car??? Just use the app? Was trying to figure out a place to mount it in my limited space in my C8.
@@csvette Wow. Thanks. You are the first person to say this can be done. Cool. Is it best to hook it up until the app is up and running and paired or not even bother taking it out of the box?
@@kerrylittle3900 The instructions are with the unit, and they detail the unhooking of the battery, plugging the unit in between the gas pedal assembly and the wire harness from the car (removal of the pedal assembly makes thing much easier) and then hooking the battery back up. Once at that point, you can download the free app and find the device using bluetooth. Super simple and very intuitive app. Lyle
My 2016 c7 zo6 battery is dead. I initially opened the trunk with the key then proceeded to close it. Now the trunk lid won’t open using the key. Any suggestions??
I certainly do! Now, the BLuetooth function may not work in Europe on these Soler Programmers...it seems to be about 50/50 on whether the frequencies in your area gel with the US spec units. The digital display, however, works everywhere. Send your address to me at lyle@corvettepartscenter.com, and I will get a shipping quote for you. Lyle
I have a 2009 Corvette that I'm trying to get a throttle pedal for it. can you help? The Chevrolet dealer says they're backordered it's been 3 months and I still can't find one.
Lots of guys have done that upgrade and had success. We don't do that here, so I'm not a good resource on what is involved or the "tricks of the trade" regarding that swap. Keep me posted!! Lyle
It compares very favorably with the Pedal Commander in every aspect. We tested that unit as well, and between price point and adjustability we liked this one just a little better. More coming by the end of this week or early next week. :) Lyle
Lyle is always trying to help fellow Corvette owners, he's really so important to the Corvette community! We need you for many years to come!
I did not know C6 and C7 were Drive By Wire cars. Ya learn something new every day.

Welcome to the disease friend. Top out, stereo up, pipes rumbling. Keep Corvetting and Save the Wave.
That is awesome!! Congrats!!! :)
Thanks Lyle. I started on ludicrous 3, immediately stepped down to 1. All I can say is now it really runs like a vette used to. Love it.

Wow! Lyle sounds like a real cool device !Thankyou for this information !
Just got mine for my C7 Stingray. Super excited!

This thing rocks , got my shipped to Canada and installed, its crazy!
I have had one on my c-7 for 2 years !! Best bang for your buck out there !! And the blue tooth is the cats meow !!!
What setting on this device would you say matches the default setting of the RL Bandit . And what settings exceed?
Damnit Lyle! Fine! Sold!
Update. This thing is SICK!!!!
Just installed the solar performance throttle. Controller

I own a C7 and I want to c5? but I’m going to get a C6.
I just installed mine on my c6. Makes a difference forsure. Crazy how laggy these cars are factory.

Thanks Lyle great product but since I bought the the RED LIGHT BANDIT. I’m going to stay with it but if I didn’t have the Bandit I would buy the new throttle controller. But I really do luv the Bandit !!!!
Kyle, what would you recommend for a C6 ...2005 Corvette / Automatic, for the issue you described ? Thanks Jim C.
Does it only work in Drive?
I wouldn’t want it when I’m backing out of the garage.
What gear selection should you drive with the throttle controller? Sport,tour or ecnco? Does it work the same with manual transmission?
The Soler Programmer will work the same way in any car mode and with either transmission. It only affects the throttle sensitivity, and you can adjust that on your phone or by using the included display interface. It also allows you to lock out the throttle completely to make the car immobile as a security feature if you wish.

Lyle, I know this video is from 11 months ago and as interesting as this thing is. I want one for my 2003 Z06 but this is not. Do you know or have run across an item like this for the C5 Corvette? Thanks in advance for any info you have or find.
More C5 content, please.
Lyle, was waiting for the "Red Light Bandit" so now this new model, what is the shipping cost for the C6 model to New Zealand? Thanks Kevin.
I bought a red light bandit based on your videos and all it did was throw my car into limp mode. I wound up contacting red light bandit. They made me wait almost 6 months as they said they had a new replacement coming that was going to fix those issues. So I waited 6 months.

Did you unhook the battery when installing it? What year is your car? Lyle
Very cool product
I had one on my 19 Grand Sport made a big difference they were 99.00 and Soler was the supplier and this was in 2019 now not sure price , most likely double that price
They are no longer in business if you listened to the video!!
The $99 units were the Red Light Bandits...they were not made by Soler. Lyle
Lyle, I just bought a 2012 Gran Sport convertible and found your TH-cam channel. And just discovered your video on the Solar Performance DLX. It appears C&S Corvette is sold out. When do you think you’ll have more in stock?
We are back in stock as of this morning, and I have updated the website. Lyle
I received the Soler DLX. Simple to install. I don’t recommend Ludicrous mode when your wife is in the car with. Wow! It looks like l’ll be using Ludicrous when by myself.
Img 14 stingray z51 is a 7 speed and I am a pretty new corvett😂 driver. Will this clause any issues with that in mind?
Great channel would you ship to Canada the throttle plug in play
Sure! Call me at 800-886-5064 to order. Lyle
Do you think it is possible for a device like this for a C5 at any point in the future?
I really wish it were possible, but every company I have asked about it have told me that developing a system for those cars and the 2005 C6 would be far too complex and expensive to be worth doing. :( Lyle
I ordered this today you shipped it today. Absolutely amazing. Thank you
I’m going to get one soon. I’m also concerned about the problem with my C7 system that controls shifts between 4 silencers to 8 I hear it my destroy engine and or transmission will this product help
Question, while we all know it does not create any more HP gains, by creating a more responsive throttle response, should it not translate to a tad quicker 0-60 & 1/4 times ?
I would agree that there is a least a marginal gain in those times, as the tenths you lose due to the throttle lag are eliminated. :) Lyle
I love the push in the seat of my C6 which was tuned to 477 lbft at the rear wheels and while it gives my Porsche Twin Turbo a run to 100 mph what I really hate about the Vette is there is little steering or throttle feedback. IOW the steering wheel feels the same going sideways at 60mph or straight ahead at 45mph. While I am not a SW engineer it seems to me that this effect should be able to be tuned into the computer. Or? Love to get your input. And pls do not tell me to bypass the PS. I have a 55 yo Sunbeam Tiger and if I want to work out I will drive that.
Thanks
Just bought one of these let’s see how it does 🤔
Good Morning, I always seem to not be able to catch up on Your Videos. I am intrigued, but cautious on this Soler Performance DLX for C-6. Couple of questions: 1) I have a 2013 GS, with the slush shift rev matching Transmission (it is like driving my GrandMothers Station Wagon) that does not shift crisp in any possible way, what effect will it have if any on that (meaning any positive?)? / 2) Aftermarket can not always be better, but You bringing this product to light, makes me curious, but I am strickly famous for OEM, what long term effects if any are there? Your thoughts/reply will be appreciated.
This module doesn't permanently change anything on the car. When you plug it into the car, it simply removes the built-in throttle lag. It is fully adjustable through your smartphone, or you can use the small digital interface panel. It will not affect any other system--just the responsiveness of the throttle. It will not change shifting or anything else. It doesn't give your car more power or change engine mapping in any way. Look at it this way: From the factory, your car registers a 25% pedal depression when you are actually pushing it down 50% of the way. This module allows you to get 50% (or more) throttle when you depress the gas pedal down 50%. It livens things up quite a bit! If you remove the module form your car, everything goes back to normal. I hope this answers your question. Lyle
Thank You so much for this, great info. Have a Great Day
Can i get one in Canada? 😮
That's so cool. Lyle, do you know if it will be something similar for LT1s C4's?
I don't think it is possible with the LT1, as that throttle body is still cable-driven. The programmers work on the fly-by wire- systems, and even then the C5 and 2005 are too archaic to be adjusted with a programmer like this. Lyle
@@csvette Thank you for your reply . Keep up the amazing channel 👊🏻
The only issue I have with these lag eliminators is the metal surface clutch in first gear. Could be because I grew up with rubber pedals and the surface tension is an issue for me. Maybe no one else experiences this, but when I use skateboard covering on the clutch, it's a whole lot easier to take off in first gear. Then, these things work really well for me. I do wish someone with a 3D printer would market custom-fit skateboard covers for the C6 clutch.
Just got mine for my C7 Stingray. Super excited!
On the C8, does the weather mode on the app conflict with weather mode the vehicle comes with?
Are you saying the small black screen unit doesn't have to be in the car??? Just use the app? Was trying to figure out a place to mount it in my limited space in my C8.
Most people never install the screen...using the app is so much easier and free. Lyle
@@csvette Wow. Thanks. You are the first person to say this can be done. Cool. Is it best to hook it up until the app is up and running and paired or not even bother taking it out of the box?
@@kerrylittle3900 The instructions are with the unit, and they detail the unhooking of the battery, plugging the unit in between the gas pedal assembly and the wire harness from the car (removal of the pedal assembly makes thing much easier) and then hooking the battery back up. Once at that point, you can download the free app and find the device using bluetooth. Super simple and very intuitive app. Lyle
@@csvette Thanks for all the help. 🙂
How much ? How to order will it pass smog in Cali
Lyle where is the charcoal canister located on a 2004 Z06 and how hard and how long does it take to change it?
Thank you for your efforts
My 2016 c7 zo6 battery is dead. I initially opened the trunk with the key then proceeded to close it. Now the trunk lid won’t open using the key. Any suggestions??
How do you buy this in Canada
2005 C6? Is there a throttle system that is compatible with the 2005?
I want one!!
What type of throttle performance do you have or is made for c-5 Corvette????
Hey Lyle do you ship to Canada ?
Lyle would this be applicable for C6 ZR1 which os manual?
Hi Lyle, Do you ship overseas, I live in Sweden!
I certainly do! Now, the BLuetooth function may not work in Europe on these Soler Programmers...it seems to be about 50/50 on whether the frequencies in your area gel with the US spec units. The digital display, however, works everywhere. Send your address to me at lyle@corvettepartscenter.com, and I will get a shipping quote for you. Lyle
Do they offer one for a 2016 Silverado ?
I have a 2009 Corvette that I'm trying to get a throttle pedal for it. can you help? The Chevrolet dealer says they're backordered it's been 3 months and I still can't find one.
How do you order it? I didn’t see anything like that on your channel.
Well, these things work on an 0 18 Silverado as well
I have a C3 with a gm create ls3 with harness and electric throttle and a new six speed maual transmission. It should work shouldn't it?
Lots of guys have done that upgrade and had success. We don't do that here, so I'm not a good resource on what is involved or the "tricks of the trade" regarding that swap. Keep me posted!! Lyle
How does this compare to pedal commander and when will you be getting more in stock?
It compares very favorably with the Pedal Commander in every aspect. We tested that unit as well, and between price point and adjustability we liked this one just a little better. More coming by the end of this week or early next week. :) Lyle
