  • The throttle response from the XLR5 has eliminated the odd stutter from the factory gas pedal, making acceleration feel smooth and immediate.

Customer Reviews

  • Was skeptical, but this really does make a difference. To upload updates I have to leave ignition on, but car off. Minor thing really to getting tuning updates. The upside, I noticed much better mpg and more power in my 2023 WRX. Really liking the GTS5 and the XLR5 together. Such a fun combo!
