I know I have heard about about a chip that installs somewhere near the pedal on C6s which doubles the signal sent. To me it is a horrible idea. All it does is cut the required pedal travel in half. I would imagine it would make driving on the street more difficult. However I believe they are immediately removable so I guess you could just plug it in for track events. Either way, it's rediculously expensive for what it is. I think it was over $300 and I could probably make it for under $20. Search the C6 forums and see what you find.

Yes, I tried it and it did nothing. I don't remember the exact procedure but it involved turning your key to the on position without starting the car and slowly pushing the gas pedal its full travel over a 15 second period. Someone else will probably chime in with more details.
