How much does the Callaway conversion cost????
450 supernatural conversion motor and body, I am guessing $15K. Am I close????
Will they still do C4s or do they only do new 'Vettes prior to purchase?

Re: How much does the Callaway conversion cost???? (scorp508)
You could walk away with the Callaway body for $7,000 so that leaves $8,000 for motor work. I think you can get a Callaway body and maybe a Callaway fuel injector cover (second cover more) for a total of $15K:D.
I believe you can get the body for $7k uninstalled and get some motor work done for $8k. I'm not sure if $8k is enough for a 450 however. Maybe just a top end package:confused:.

I was under the impression that you had to get motor work before you were even eligible for the body kit. :confused:

... From the CALLAWAY website, you can download a catalog (although it is somewhat outdated) http://www.callawaycars.com the SuperNatural 400 (which is the one listed runs $13,365 then you can upgrade specs to current at $4190 It does not say what a SN450 runs but I am sure someone w/ one may post later for you...I just wanted to give you a ballpark figure on this... The catalog also offers suspension (C.O.I.L.) as well as brakes, wheels, and a clutch , ohh and an Aerobody which will set you back just shy of 10 large...
hope this helps,

Oh one more thing - That's just motor and body that I quoted as you asked. Not extras like HD clutch, brake upgrade, suspension, etc.

I always thought the full conversion was in the $70k range.

ZBRA.....
The 1st $15K will get you the motor installed. The 2nd $15K will almost get you the body kit installed & painted. If you want to torture yourself more, I'd recommend the single-mass flywheel & centerforce clutch (you will need it), the coil-over's, and the brake package - you'll have no problem adding another $10K to the other two items. The one option I have that I would not recommend is the high capacity radiator....... maybe it would help if you did some endurance racing, but for normal driving, it doesn't help a bit.......I try not to add-up everthing 'cause then I start thinking about the Viper that could have been :eek:
by this point, you could have sold your car, bought a new Z06 and you'd have a quicker car.....except for top-end speed.
If you have any q's, just let me know....
