I don't know much about cars and will probably never be able to unleash the real potential of an auto like the C6 by myself but I have seen several threads saying that people are selling "kits" that really unlock the potential of these cars.

Can I buy these kits and have a proffessional install them, some change hood and body design.

Is there a way that I can purchase the components I wan't and have them installed to the car by a proffessional ex. a turbo or an intercooler.

Where might I get work like this done, I am pretty sure that dealers can't mod the car like I am imagining.

Thanks for the help.

What you need is:

1) A C6. Got that, ok, next:

2) Deep pockets. Got those, ok, next:

3) Consult the "list" along the left border of the main forums page. Start calling the tuners listed there and telling them what you want to do. They will help steer you in the right direction.

Or, in the alternative, you can wait for a few early adopters to get the R&D work done for C6 mods and then you can do what's already proven to work at that point. Much cheaper. LOL
