Who said they weren't going to make any Staged kits?

Naw a catback won't void your warranty. The GMPP exhaust weren't designed for the turbo car, it could even hurt performance.

I got one of the 08 turbo ss last month and have about 2000 miles on it now. I love it and its definitely the fasted car I've driven. I wanted to just say that if the article was trying to say that you cant get the red interior accents (like on the red ss pictured) with a black exterior, thats not true. Mine has a black exterior with a black and red interior. I'm gonna try to get some pics up some if anyone is interested.

It is common knowledge that there is black with red inserts

There is black on black and black on gray as well.

sedans

yeah I'm not much of a sedan guy, but the turbo sedan doesn't look half bad to be honest...

right now bro there are not many aftermarket parts for our car. Maybe a K&N air filter. Thats it so far. I'm about to install a methanol injector on my car. Got a place making custom CAI and intercooler piping aswell. You can upgrade your intercooler to a bigger one. You will need to do some fabricating to it though. You can check out some of the european sites for turbo up grades. I'm sure that you know this but we have basically the same turbo (borg and warner k04) as the VW's and Audi's. Sp the turbo isn't that new. Most of the after market exterior stuff for the older balts will fit ours aswell.

I would hold off though...get to know your car before you do anything crazy. Its a picky car....congrats though
