Check this Callaway .......
Hi!
Just found this this Callaway for sale in UK:
http://www.corvette.co.uk/cala.html :cool:
Check out the hood / intercooler setup. Is this something that Callaway made or has it been built by someone else ? Also, the intake looks like a mini-ram, unlike the standard B2K.
Anyway, it looks like an awsome machine ..

Re: Check this Callaway ....... (Roar Hansen)
Well it may be fast but that's about all it has going for it in my book.
The hood vents are horrible looking and I hate what Callaway does to the tail lights. I don't care how functional the hood is there is still something to be said for cosmetics.
I've always hated Callaway's choice of SuperTrap mufflers too. No thanks, I'd just take the money and build something just as fast and it would still look stock.
BTW, that's a miniram intake, not an LT1.

It had been in Vette mag about a decade ago - good reading :thumbs:
If you dont like the tail lights or muffles thats too bad, you will get a great view (briefly) if you pulled beside it - car is good to 215 mph :eek:
60 grand is what I heard you could buy it for (USD)
"Power: 584bhp @ 5400 rpm
Torque: 647 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm
Maximum boost: 56" Hg absolute
0-60 mph: 4.1 seconds
¼ mile: 11.87 seconds @ 127 mph
Top speed: 215 mph
Above acceleration figures are with street tyres."

Re: Check this Callaway ....... (Roar Hansen)
I knew the owner before Tom Flaconer at Claremont got it. It may be on consignment to Tom and is still owned by Brian though. It was my first Nationals, the big annual event for the Classic Corvette Club UK, in the Summer of 1991. They arrange the cars by year and I was told to park next to another black Corvette. This was before the Aero Package was installed on Brian's Callaway so with the wheels our cars looked very mutch alike, his a coupe, mine a convertible. Of course, then he opened the hood and it was all over! It had the original Callaway L98 B2K back then, and I made up my mind then and there to paint my NA L98 black. From that point Brian had the car sent back to Connecticut sever times for engine mods and the Aero Body, to get what you see now. I never thought he'd sell.
