Regarding how parts are covered: As long as you purchase the car from an "Callaway Corvette Authorized Dealer", the entire powertrain is covered for 100k miles. Callaway's warranty covers the Callaway parts (and any consequential engine damage that results from a failure of Callaway parts), and GM covers the GM parts. You'd bring the car to the Chevy dealer and the Service Department would contact us if the problem were Callaway-related. You wouldn't have to worry about whether it's a Callaway or GM problem and you wouldn't have to contact Callaway yourself. The problem would just get handled at the dealership. If the Chevy technician needs additional support, we'll fly a Callaway factory technician to the dealership.
If you don't buy the car from a participating dealer, and you suspect a problem with the Callaway content, you'd contact us instead of the Chevy dealer. We'd determine whether to send a Callaway factory technician to you to make repairs, or to transport the car to Connecticut (or soon to the new California facility). If there is a warranteeable problem, Callaway would pay for the transportation costs. If there is a transmission or rear axle problem, and you didn't buy from a participating dealer, some Chevy dealers will honor the GM warranty while others may not. We're continuing to expand the Authorized Dealer network.
We're adding new Dealers pretty regularly now, but here's a current list of Authorized Dealers: http://www.callawaycars.com/callaway...es/dealers.htm
So far, since we started the SuperCharged program in February, we've had zero warranty claims for Callaway SuperCharged Corvettes.

Fair enough, I believe you used to have a dealer out here years ago called Corvestments. I had some work done by them on my 88 in the early 90's.

Florida and California are actually our next targets for qualifying Authorized Dealers. I'll be in Florida in October. Pete Callaway will be in California. But Atlanta might be closer to you than southern Florida. I'll stop there on the way back to Connecticut. Any suggestions? Is there any Chevy dealer near you that you think would work well for us?

Let me know which dealer you decide on.
Thanks
