Good pick up and great deal!

I actually cross shopped the Z28 and the BMW M4 this past summer. I wanted a car that was track capable and a nice weekend cruiser. They were marking up the Z28 so much ( as much as $25K over sticker), I ended ordering an M4 exactly how I wanted and have been very happy with it (have to switch out tires and pads for track use though). I'm sure I would've been happy with the Z28 too.

How about the guys that paid almost $100k for the Z28? Now they're selling for almost half price six months later.

Great buy, my friend is working a similar deal, I couldn't believe it. You could send it to Callaway and still be below z06 pricing.

Amazing cars, and the track capability is impossible to beat even at MSRP. But, for $54K new, you got a steal. You'll have to spend $90-100k on a new car to beat the Z28 around a road course.

I wouldn't mind having a white or gray one, myself.

I drove the white one home Saturday evening! They got me for an additional $1k for freight, but still a nice discount off MSRP (below).

So what's it like to drive? How does it compare to other cars you've owned? I love the current muscle cars, but the ZL1 does absolutely nothing for me. The Z28 just looks badass! Give us a review!

Cool. Did you see my car while you were there? What do you mean by Freight charges?

Yup. It wasn't on showroom, but inside where they keep the other Corvettes. A guy came in about a half hour before me and apparently was FURIOUS that they wouldn't sell him the red car (my wife met me at dealer and she relayed this to me).

Sales Mgr gave me the "internet price," but said it didn't include freight (aka destination) charge. I didn't feel like dicking around and the price was still too good to pass up. I got an OK price on my trade, too.

I learned about these cars on Friday night on the camaro5 forum. I called the dealership Saturday morning 45 minutes before they opened and a salesman who just walked in picked up. It was the quickest sale he will ever make. The sales manager called me about 3 hours later and said they were going to sell the car to someone else because they were there with cash and I had only given a $2500 credit card deposit and was going to send them a cashier's check with the paperwork when I received it on Tuesday. Well, my heart fell and then I got pissed because we had a deal and he took my money. I then told him I'll overnight him a bank check if I could get one before the bank closed. I arrived at the bank as they locked the door and got a check and ran to Fedex and handed it off. Email from sales mgr today confirmed full payment and it is mine!!!

Were there people really that stupid? Anyone could have seen the writing on the wall. Same thing that will happen for people that pay more than MSRP for the Z06. Tossing money out the window.

That would be a great option

Our SC652 package would make this fast car even faster!

Please drop us a note for details: info@callawaycars.com

Thanks!

There are a few here in DFW for around the same price point. Man, if only my garage were a little bigger and I didn't already have a '10 ZR1 set-up for track work, I'd buy the crap of the Z/28. I really like the concept and it's very well executed. Enjoy and don't forget to beat the **** out of it at the track.

Congrats OP smoking car a KILLER price!

Enjoy it in good health bro!
