Default What is THIS?
Saw this in some topic somewhere..



Did a little snooping and found it was made by "callaway?"

Is this just a C5 overhaul/body?

How much?

I love it!

Oh, well I like it. Looks like a cross between a CCX and Moderna.

Do you know what it is though, besides ugly ?

I prefer this rebody. And, like the last picture, it will take hours of research to figure out who makes it!

That's funny I always thought that a Callaway Corvette always referred to what kind of clubs you had in the back.

There is also a article in Vette magazine a few months ago about the C12!

I have it at home but you could also search www.vetteweb.com and find it

I'll look for the date on the article when I get home today (It's in the drawer next to the toilet )

Thanks,Matt
