What would you do?
Your tight on money but you want your Stingray to stand out. Your not going to track your car but maybe have some fun with it. Here are your choices.
1- Having a Callaway Stingray. Price around $80,000
2- Getting the Z06 Stingray. Price around $80,000
3- Ordering a Z51 Stingray and adding a ECS, ARH, METH, and CAM. Price around $75,000 and leaving some room for extra accessories.
The $80,000 is pushing the envelope on what you want to spend but will if you really want it that bad. You definitely want a bad a$$ Stingray that sounds nasty as hell. Take into consideration warrantee, horse power, sound, price and standing out from the rest. Curious to hear your thoughts and opinions. Thanks

I laughed when I saw "You're tight on money..." and then continued to read about how you plan to buy a $75,000+ car.

Thank you for your post, considering Callaway. We'd be glad to help you with your decision, and your questions are ones we hear pretty often 
We put a lot of engineering into our new Supercharger for your Stingray - from the triple-element intercooler, which is exceptionally efficient at keeping heat soak from even being an issue with our package, to the uninhibited inlet runner design - going through the hood allows us to not only have longer runner pathways to build torque, but also the benefit of convectional cooling from airflow over the top of the supercharger, make the Callaway Supercharger Package an exceptionally efficient design. But that's part of the story.
50-State legal, our package carries a CARB E.O. and is legal in all fifty states for emissions.
Our package is also backed by the most powerful warranty, covering the powertrain of your vehicle. Not just the supercharger parts or engine, the Callaway power train warranty, which supplements the Factory GM Warranty, is the only one of its kind, and delivers assurances over the long run.Callaway is unparalleled in performance - and the way we back our products
Here are some attachments which cover the specifications and virtues of our package. Again, we'd be glad to work with you, and if we can answer any questions, please drop us a note: info@callawaycars.com

I look at it this way. You live once, so enjoy it. I have a budget set aside and I worked very hard to have my dream car. I am not a lawyer or doctor and that money tree just won't grow on my property, Lol. So it's not ad issue of not paying my mortgage but I work very hard for my money and I don't want to just throw it away. I also am not one to brag saying, " look at all my money and rub it in anyone's face ". So here is a better way to put it, I am very tight with my money. Lol

Re: Exhaust note, Definitely unique - much better than stock. GM should pay you guys and adopt your system

I am a Jew and I am tight with my money. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that saying. It's a fact on my level. Let's not be one of those tight a$$ people that criticizes every sentence. It's like me saying I am also Italian and I love my gold chain and wife beater.
