Throttle Booster?

Drive-by-wire thing, you can do the same with ECUFlash or Accessport. Basically, you can program your gas pedal to be more responsive, or leave it alone so it's linear. For example, 50% @ the pedal can translate to 70% @ the throttle body, or leave it alone so 50% = 50%.

On the C5/C6, I thought it was the other way around. 50% throttle only equated to 30-40% at the throttle body (which makes it feel more linear at low throttle), and there were tune adjustments so that the gas pedal to throttle body became linear, which results in a lot touchier response at low throttle. But anyway, cool that you can make all those adjustments with the handheld device.

I honestly have no idea how it's set from the factory, I was just throwing out some examples. Sorry, didn't mean to imply the factory settings are perfectly linear. I do know it changes based on the driving mode you're in though (Weather, Eco, Touring, Sport, & Track). I personally chose to leave the throttle boost slider at 0% to stick with the factory settings.

My buddy just picked up a red 6spd auto 2LT. Took me for a spin, very nice ride! I enjoyed the exhaust how it was quite tame, but sounds mean when he gets on it.

Another cool feature about Corvette suspension is factory adjustable ride height so yesterday I decided to lower mine down as far as it would go! From the factory, they're generally set in about the middle of the range with room to raise or lower about 1/2" in either direction. Not a huge drop, subtle but noticeable. No ill effect on handing or ride quality, and from what others are saying a realignment isn't required since everything generally stays within spec (I plan to have the dealer check it when I'm in for my next oil change though).

Yep they got the Z package. Apparently GM is offering employee pricing on any 2014 for anyone who owns a car that was involved in the recent recall. My buddy owns a Cobalt SS, so they qualified, and got a $9k discount right off the bat for that.

Wow, that is amazing! Good for them. Getting anything under MSRP on a Z51 model is still near impossible.

I think they were really wanting a 1LT Z51 in dark grey, but sounds like it's starting to become slim pickings for 2014's.
