Good point - we apply our engineering prowess to all our vehicles. While we are a premium brand, we believe we deliver great value in our vehicle packages.

You are right, most who drove our car didn't care about how she parked

100,000 miles, tracked, road raced, never a problem and I bet you don't have one of those gimmicky oil catch cans on it either.

Nothing "gimmicky" on this car at all - in fact, much more than just a collection of aftermarket parts, Callaway has engineered our package to be the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! We believe our results speak for themselves

Chris,
I got to drive this car back in April of 2009. I was so impressed with the short-throw shifter that I bought one for my '08 from you guys at the Corvettes at Carlisle event in August of that year. I also got to see this car at Carlisle this year! You guys do nice work!!

Good deal - and great testament to the power of a test drive!

We always say, "drive one, you'll buy one..." ..or part of one

Thanks

...tomorrow, marks two-years of driving this car

She now has over 102,500 trouble-free miles


Powerful, reliable, drivable, emissions compliant, and backed by a Powertrain Warranty which is matchless in the industry, come take a Callaway Corvette for a drive and see for yourself what we're all about

Thanks again to all who came and saw us at the Mid America Motorworks Funfest

Hi Chris, it was great to meet you at Funfest last weekend... I can't get over how great that car still looks after all those miles...

Can you send the link to the burnout to 100,000 miles..

Thanks

That's just a Sunday afternoon drive for you..

I think you had 102,000 at Effingham, so you racked up 5K in 2 weeks?
