That is a very nice grocery getter

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a “shooting brake”?
Nineteenth century terminology describing a vehicle that could be used to carry shooting parties, their equipment, their dogs and their game. By the early twentieth century, “shooting brake” began to be used to categorize custom-built two-door station wagons using chassis of established luxury or sports cars.

You do not have to buy a Callaway Corvette to get the AeroWagen package. It may be installed on your stock Corvette coupe.

3. Will the AeroWagen package include rear seats?
Unfortunately, the Corvette chassis and running gear configuration make it impossible to include seats in the cargo area.

5. What changes are made to the interior of the cargo area?

Hi,
Reminds me of this from the Prancing Horse company in 2011.

I think I like it -- at least I don't dislike it...but I haven't yet made a final decision. Savvy move by Callaway.

 

I think it looks real good

 

Me too. So why not?

 

N.o.

 

Inbreeding... Corvette up front and Cadillac back end....

 

Honestly...I don't mind it. I take my Border Collie EVERYWHERE. Unless I'm stopping somewhere and it's too hot, he's with me. Border Collie transport.

And putting my son's baseball gear in the mail slot of my 1970 is sometimes a pain. I'd LOVE to have a little more wiggle room. Of course, the rear hatch of newer Corvettes affords that, but having a little more space is always good.

I like it when Ferrari does it. I like it when BMW does it (Z3M?) Mercedes puts their 577 hp AMG engine in a E63 station wagon. It does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds...that beats a standard new Corvette, ladies and germs.

Why the hell not Corvette?

 

Like it looks good to me!
I can see a few convincing their wives its the "in" grocery getter.
Maybe it would give more way for legroom so tall guys could actually own one.

 

Although I am not a fan of the C6 and newer 'Vettes, I don't think it takes away from the look of a new 'Vette at all. I even think maybe it should be that way stock???
