Not sure why, but if I have mine set on 9 and my car is cold. It surges real bad when I am starting from a stand still. Only I can figure is the quick throttle response is to much when the car has been sitting over night.

After the car is warmed up it does not do it on the same setting. I am still trying to figure out where I like the setting for every day driving. GM should have these on the Gen 6 cars. Kind of their answer to the line lock on the Mustangs.

Just installed my controller - like all have said - makes a noticeable difference especially with traction control off and in "M" mode for you automatics. Well worth the $180.00 and an easy install. The hardest part of the install is trying to pop off the white clip, then pull the wiring harness up while lifting up the retaining clip to release the harness plug. Easy set up of controller and you are done in about 5 minutes! a must have plug in performance upgrade that made my auto V6 with a ported and polished throttle body and CAI engine come alive.

On the M6's when there cold they will have a real touchy throttle even without the controller....

It's been a week since I last heard from Vitesse. Anyone received their controllers that ordered around Oct. 19th? I'm still playing the waiting game.

That's what I'm thinking, those of us that ordered during that week are going to take it in the shorts in terms of us getting our controllers anytime soon. I checked my PayPal and they certainly got their money from me and you can bet they made sure to get that in their account quick. Yet not a peep out of them unless you send an email asking them.

I still want my controller but I do think it is a little BS that they can't get their sh*t together any better than that and fill the orders. At least tell people they are on back order and list it on their website.

Dig it
Wasn't accusing you of slamming the product lol, This is obviously some sort of bug or odd behavior.

Any response on it yet? do you know what the issue was?

Thank you all for this long wait.

We will restart shipping our Controllers starting this Saturday. I spoke to our supplier and they've made us an additional 100 harnesses and they were already shipped. Should arrive tomorrow or Friday.

As soon as I ship the controllers to you, I will send you Tracking #s.

Thank you again for your patience !

So, whatever you do, don't accidentally disconnect the line from the main controller box to the pedal harness, and start the car/try to drive. The car becomes VERY unhappy when you do so.

Took it into the body shop today (since some douche put a nice big dent on my passenger side by the gills...$1500 worth of damage ), and before I went I set the controller back to SP0, then blindly reached to where I have the controller box hidden and unplugged what I THOUGHT was the remote control.

Ahh, nope! That was the line leading to the pedal. Service Stabilitrak, reduced power mode, CEL, and, of course, absolutely NO pedal response. I mean, pressing the gas pedal had no effect whatsoever. Which makes sense, I guess, since I basically cut the harness circuit by disconnecting it.

Ugh. Figured it out, cleared the codes, and was on my way.

Moral of the story: Don't blindly disconnect things, even if you're "sure" it's the right plug.
