Tuning a 2005 Vette
Is it possible to tune the C6 so it performs like the '06 Z06 or have too many modifications been made? My thought is that I may get a used '05 Coupe with low miles and do some upgrading to it since the body is essentially the same as the '06. Thoughts? Is that an impossibility?

Anything can be done if you're will to pay. Check out forum vendor The Vette Doctors. Here's a link to their Rx500 package:

A package like this will get you started, but I think you'll need a lot more work ($$$) to get Z06 performance. Why not just buy a Z06 after the initial rush?

There is one easy way....Blower!!!! that will put you well past the z06 at a fraction of the cost.Just a thought.Bye ,bye factory warranty though,but youll be eating up the z if you can get traction.
