Was there with Mike before. Pleasure meeting him. Great guy. Presentation was first class by callaway as well. Feel great for the new owner Ben. He looked truly touched by the gathering for his delivery. Glad to be a part of it!!

Thanks for pics and vid.

Ps.. I should have borrowed your equipment when I was speaking to Tadge about the enhancements of the 17 Z06 lol. Got beat up by a guy on here for wife using cell phone!

My pleasure! And I saw that...some people can be pretty dumb. Just remember, it's usually worse on Friday and Saturday nights. People can be just as reckless behind a keyboard as they are behind the wheel when they've been drinking. Not to say the guy that posted that was drunk, but it seems that there are more thoughtless posts on Friday and Saturday nights...kinda makes sense.

Very cool Corvette.

IMO what the Z should have been from the factory. Congrats to the owner.

Nice Callaway I had the pleasure of meeting with Mike at Carlisle on Thursday. He gave me some very good advice on an acceleration issue I was having. GM engineers confirmed what he had told me the following day. Nannies were kicking in on high RPM shifts.

Nice to see an old autocross buddy still working for Callaway. And Mike Zoner is an excellent guy behind the wheel of anything!

I've gotta say, that blue is growing on me. Wasn't terribly impressed with some early pics I saw but that thing looks very sharp in the sunlight.

Jeremy, thanks for taking time during the show to visit, and for being a part of Ben's delivery, filming the occasion. It was quite an event, and just catching my breath from the show, which as you know, was non-stop.

Again, super video, capturing Ben's moment. He sure did hit the road afterwards, and who could blame him? Flight 757, ready for take-off

Mike's been with Callaway Cars for 28 years. From Project Sledgehammer to the present cars, and all in-between. Mike's not only an amazing engineer, responsible for the fine details of our packages, including the GenThree Callaway Supercharger, but an amazing driver. A cool guy, for sure!
