Default Moving to another forum section

It's been fun spending time in the C6Z06 section, but I'm moving over to general since I sold my Z06. Picked up a very nice low mileage Callaway Grand Sport 4LT, Centennial Edition , convertible today. SC606 six speed. 4K miles. A pretty rare car. I'll check in occasionally with you fellows. And I must say I loved every minute of the LS7 experience. Later fellows. A photo from the purchase!

Yes, it appears to be a great car. I need some detail time on it, but that will come. I literally just got it home.

At least you didn't make the C7 mistake, so

I did consider a new GS, they really drive great. But I have always wanted a Callaway and now that itch is scratched.

Congrats!! My dad has a very similar car to that...2012 Callaway GS Carbon flash metallic, but it's a targa with auto. He had Callaway throw on a set of matte black OZ racing wheels (in 19/20 sizes) at the time as well. It's an absolute beast, and a blast to drive. Love the mag ride feature...wish my '09 C6Z had that.

Very nice acquisition! Looks great and a Callaway Centenniel is very rare. You won't need to worry about it pulling timing because it is overheating . Best of luck with your new ride!

Awesome. I'd love the OZ wheels cause the GS wheels are my least favorite thing on the car. This one had 31K worth of Callaway add ons,
I guess the original owner couldn't afford any more .

Looks like a sweet ride ~

Any chance you know who makes the splitter?

Have had that Callaway itch all my adult driving life. A long time, C4s.
Much as I love my Z06, a Cal's just special.

Congrats, she's a beaut.

I have the same splitter on my car. For the second time. First one caught a gator in the highway and I had to get a new one. https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=2227
I asked him for a discount and he gave me one. Also had him ship it in primer and had my body shop here paint match it for me.

The splitter is a Callaway item. The car has the CF splitter and a CF rear spoiler. I'm terrified that I'm going to curb it or damage it somehow. The splitter was a 2490 option and the rear spoiler was 1900 option. OUCH!

Agreed...the GS wheels are doing not that car justice.
