Chris, off topic big time, but saw the SEMA performance car shoot out video on SPEED TV recent and wanted to just say you're a class act for helping a competitor out that would otherwise lost to you. Not just great cars, great people

Thank you to everyone excited about the special display, featuring 25-years of Callaway Corvettes

Excited? That hardly covers our feelings about the 25-years we've been associated with Corvettes.

Powerful, exclusive, and desirable - all key attributes for our vehicles. In fact, take another look at the list of cars and you will find not only some of the most beautiful Corvettes ever built, but some of the most competitive in racing, and of course the fastest Corvette, the Callaway Sledgehammer which has a top speed of 254.76 mph

We worked with our customers to put this display together and hope everyone who sees it, finds it to be the best display ever!!

Again, we're pretty darn excited

Thanks - That was our team, led by Pete Callaway, our Founder's Son who helped make all that work for our competitor. Thanks for the nod.

Just got word that a couple additional Callaways have been confirmed for this special exhibit

One of the Callaways, hasn't been seen in over a decade, or more... It's going to be shown at the NCM for this event

I remember when the Callaway Corvettes first came out and challenged, and beat, ALL of the world's MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE Supercars. You done made all us Americans proud.

Thanks! We still own the World when it comes to performance and have dominated in GT3 racing, set on the World's stage


In the meantime:


Now up to 16 Callaways in the display from 87-001 to a 2012 Callaway Corvette SC606

We just added another heavy-hitter to the display - as a Callaway Owner, Enthusiast, or just an all-around Corvette Fan, you will not want to miss this special collection of vehicles

Chris,
Looking forward to meeting you and seeing this display. The pics at the Museum look great. Hope there are plenty of Callaways to test. I've got you down for four at Montana Grill Thursday Evening. See you then.
David
