Just ordered...

So for fathers day my wife got me the vitesse throttle control AND THERE OUT OF STOCK!!! I called them said it be a couple of weeks but I was like WHAT!? What makes it funny was we were going to buy it last night. I was on order screen just needed my wallet AND then we had to rush to ER (kids being kids). Everything good but it was just my luck.

I read this is the best mod you can add for the price love to hear your feed back on it.

Just got mine delivered on Thursday put it on Friday morning n so far its been nothing but a blast. My really does accelerate better. I'll be honest in sport mode sp0 through sp4 all felt similar to stock but sp5 and up is pure fun i haven't tried a launch with sp9 yet but when i jumped on it a little bit at a red light i squealed my wheels a little.

i always have it on SP9, super fun and really quick to drive but give it a little too much gas and you'll lose traction like crazy lol. can't imagine driving without it!

SP9 all the way, no need to go below that. Installed mine as soon as I got it.

What you think VTC shaves off your 0-60 .1, maybe .3? I wondering with TC off and at SP9 how much the tires would spin (cant wait to try)?

Side question. With paddle shifting, anyone got a good feel for going off the line with this? Cant find a solid video. I don't get a lot of time to go out and test. My daily drive is 30-45MPH.......

Thx for all the feed back too.

The VTC especially in our A6's improves the throttle response which improves the launch time, which can improve 0-60...Not anymore than it was already capable of but it makes it easy.

The only other way to do a good launch in an A6 is brake, throttle to raise RPM, release break...

If you put a stickier set of tires on your car THEN you will definitely shave the 0-60 down from what it's factory rated at. Couple that with the VTC and it's effortless.

Worth it, trust me. Even on sp4 or sp5 u feel the difference. Don't bother with any of the e0-9 settings tbh. Just got an elite catch can. Next is cai and mrt v2. Just to give u some ideas. Also doing jacfab ported im and spacer. Vtc is great tho don't bother with the vmax tb even tho I never had it, gut says not needed since vtc is Godly

The VTC won't be doing anything at this point, and it will continue to do nothing since the car shifts on its own.
Right, it improves throttle response. That's what I thought I said. Pedal to the floor is pedal to the floor, you can't go beyond 100% throttle. But you get to a higherthrottle % faster with the VTC.

Well for example, in sp0 if I tap the throttle it barely goes above 1100 rpm. In sp9 if I tap the throttle it jumps above 2500 rpm. I'm not saying it's going higher than the stall or torque converter will allow but it's doing it more quickly.

I have 245/45ZR20W tires A in traction on them. I felt more in control of the car since I got them back in March. I still have not had a chance to open her up passed 80 much since I got her last year. Between work wife and 4 kids my play time is limited...soon very soon...

Ohh funny note the only time I did I got pulled over 1st ticket in 12 years. AND the same cop pulled over my boss on the way to work (same day) and let him off with a warning. He drives a Camry. And he always drives fast.

Right lol I'm not saying the VTC will make you "launch" any faster than the car was already capable. But it's more effortless at responsive to get it to 2500 rpm then release the brake.

Lol

I haven't gotten a ticket in the camaro yet. I've gotten mine up to 118. Had to smoke some Audi that was driven by a pedophile. They've got a lot of long empty farm roads during my commute to my other job, I'd see a cop from a mile away.
