Default #TBT Retro Review of the Callaway Supernatural Corvette



It's time for another "MotorWeek" Retro Review, so let's look back at one of my favorite obscure cars of all time, the Callaway Supernatural.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Very cool, def had that early 90's color scheme.. I remember the Super Natural and the Sledge Hammer in all the magazines when I was in my early 20s.
Callaway along with Linginfelter are still my two favorite corvette tuners.. Nice to see them still putting out fast C7s all these years later.

Thanks for posting/sharing the video from Motorweek. At the end of the show today, they still use a sound byte of a Callaway SuperNatural for the exhaust note. How cool is that

SuperNaturals are great cars, and one which I am privileged to personally own an example

So awesome! Thanks for sharing that blast from my past. Brings back great memories of my C4 time period.

77K for a C4 I think I'll take a major league pass on that!

For a fraction of what it was new, here's a SuperNatural Callaway Corvette for sale:

(I've got zero ownership or interest in this car, just came across my RADAR today, same as this thread)

That one doesn't look anything like the one in the video.

Then you'll be glad to hear other C4's have sold for way more than that.

So SuperNatural was the engine. The body was called the Callaway AeroBody. There were other options, too. Here's a good reference:

I hope this helps

I think it says a lot about Calloway when 20 plus years later these cars are looked back on as "super cars" in their day and the company is still going strong continuing to build "super car" status Corvettes.
