Special Calloway Corvette?

[Brer Rabbit]

A co-worker with a ton of money told me that he tried to buy a ZO6 corvette but was told the waiting list was too long. The salesman instead directed him to a Calloway package that when delivered will include a supercharger. The salesman went on to tell him that the Calloway car will whip the Z06 with no problem. Supposedly the supercharged car will make 530 horsepower. Needless to say my co-worker signed the paperwork and the car is being built right now. Hopefully I will be posting a Kill story before the snow hits this year after he breaks in the motor. I was tryin to find info on this package with no luck. Anybody know about this car/package?

No flaming intended, but salesmen have been known to stretch the truth upon occasion to cinch a sale. This will be interesting to see. It seems to me that when one is playing in the 500 horse arena, a 25 horse difference will boil down to more driver capabilities than the car capabilities. Keep us tuned.

Link says 560HP vs/500HP for the Z06.

I see a few Z06s on ebay. I just bought an 07 regular vette for $42,000 plus TTT. Feels plenty fast so far. It's a light car.

its looks sickkkk!

I like the black one with the drop top. The call it drop top, cus thats what the ladies do after a ride (a car ride ). That car looks sweet.

So he paid 45k plus 17k for the callaway package I guess? Does it come with a warrenty and is through the dealer or did he send the car to Callaway? Sounds interesting.

Thanx for the link guys..

Yeah hes doin the entire deal thru the dealer. Full warranty thru Callaway 3/36,000. I talked to him Thursday and he said the car was already in Ct. Cant wait to see that beast. I must have misheard the horsepower thing ---I'll bet he said 560 I just thought it was 530. Either way its gonna be a bad ass ride. I kind of like the fact that I had the fastest car in the parking lot, but with his car Im not to sure. We will find out. If I get my car fixed that is!

 

[Quiky One]

Your car will be faster. I bet you he can't drive it. Well, he might take you from a 60 MPH roll..

Now when you say fastest car in the parking lot,do you mean at the Police station,,,Hmmmm...I know a cop in South beach that can afford a 600K house ,but I know how he supplements the $40K they pay him,,,can you say shake down...maybe I am in the wrong profession....

I think I would have saved a few bucks and gone with Lingenfelters 560/500 package for $12k. I am considering this on my 07, but the new 5yr 50k warranty has got me thinking.

Package includes:

Magnuson "Magnacharger" intercooled supercharger system- silver painted finish
Based on OEM Eaton supercharger unit

Properly sized fuel injectors Fuel system upgrades 160 Degree thermostat Boost bypass controller Lingenfelter High Flow Air Intake Lingenfelter C6 SC Hood or RK Sport C6 supercharger hood professionally painted & installed Professional installation, testing and calibration Excellent drivability, highway mileage not adversely effected
Package price with RK Sport C6 supercharger
hood installed $11,975.00

Package price with Lingenfelter C6 supercharger hood installed $12,345.00

In some cases Corvette colors other than victory red and black might require fender and front fascia blending which is an additional $700.00 charge if required. This extra blending will produce a factory finish and perfect color match with no visible differences in color.

With these 2 packages in mind the Z06 package is suddenly not such a great deal.

Yes it is. What will be worth more in 10 even 20 years? Z06. What would happen if you bolted this package onthe Z06? See my points?

I just can not see a car as an investment. In order to have a car as an investment you have to keep it stock and with low miles. Obvious examples being the GN, GNX, and TTA. I rather mod my car and drove it like I stole it. If I am looking for a return on my money land and mutual funds will get the nod.

 

[turbo2nr]

Z06 is > than the other two kits. Car and Driver tested the ling. and it did not beat the Z06. Remember, the Z06 is a much lighter car to begin with, then you add 80lbs to the regular vette up front. Messes up the handling and launch. The Z06 has wider rear wells to accept a much larger tire.

 

[bishir]

Besides what is already mentioned the zo6 kills these cars in looks. The widebody makes a regular corvette look almost ordinary IMO. I would have spent the extra 15% on the zo6.

Funny thing about the station.

Now when you say fastest car in the parking lot,do you mean at the Police station,,,Hmmmm...I know a cop in South beach that can afford a 600K house ,but I know how he supplements the $40K they pay him,,,can you say shake down...maybe I am in the wrong profession....

I had to put my car in the station lot on a trailer overnight Saturday and when I went to hook up the truck the next morning one of the Midnight guys decided to be a smartass and put a big piece of paper with 13.9 written in marker on the windshield. . I have launched an investigation, fingerprinted the car, and will be reviewing the video of the lot to find the offender. Beatdown with nitestick and a taser forthcoming.
