Anyone tracked their Callaway Z06 yet?
Just curious about how the car performed.

Our SC757 Z06 is presently being evaluated for oil cooling as a part of the Callaway Cooling Pack Option - our test and dev. car is a 2015 automatic, and we anticipate exceptional results, to then release our cooling pack. Stay tuned...

Yeah... anyone? Not just Callaway but how about the other 3rd party vendors? i.e. Lingenfelter, Hennessy, etc...?
I know of 3 local guys who have one of each of those 3 above w/ superchargers installed on their C7 Stingrays but unfortunately none of them ever track.... basically got it just for bragging rights and parking lot car shows, etc.

Thank you for your interest in the Callaway SC757 Package for the Corvette Z06
There is a report out there - here's the quote:

Have had car for a little over a month now, with 3 track days on it. First 2 days I ran intermediate group Temps were in the 70's. I had the Ron Davis radator installed by Callaway, I know the outside temp was low but this radator works well. I would commonly see 220-235 water temp with oil temp 275 plus. The 3rd day was open lapping... ran 2 tank fulls of gas though it trying my best to wear out my cup's, still Temps were only in the 230-240 range. Oil I need to work on 280 plus... will try cat shield next. Normal water temp on freeway is 190-200. I have PDR, still trying to figure all this out, will post data when I can get better data. By the way I have an infared fluke camera you should see the heat coming out of the hood vent and the hole cut around the supercharger. .. it would make you really think about cutting another hole in you hood!
Thanks again

When you figure this out, tell GM because it looks like they need some help in that department.

There's just too many variables in offering a cooling package, to be used with who knows what else, so respectfully, we'll stick with our protocol of having it be an option to the venerable Callaway SC757 Z06 package, once the cooling package becomes available.
As always, thank you for your interest in Callaway and what we have to deliver.

Our policy for decades has been to engineer a package which works to its fullest, including our ability to stand behind what we do.

However, might I recommend that...since the C7 Z06 is already brimming with horsepower...you offer a "Time Attack" (or similarly named) version that upgrades cooling, makes some minor suspension tweaks and maybe has some mild horsepower increases via bolt-ons and calibration? That would be pretty neat, especially if it was developed and tested in a similar fashion to your other packages.
Anyway...I think the Callaway stuff is really cool. Especially with the heritage of the brand.
