Stop digging man. The hole is awfully big already!
You know that dyno number is false for that car. Yet you spew it out as if it were the Gospel. To come on here and trash another Vendor especially one as highly regarded as Callaway is simply disgusting.

I think a Callaway is better bet for resale. ZR1's will be every where just like the previous ones.
Callaway will make sure it's done right top to bottom because it's there life blood.
Plus there won't be that many made too.

I still can't believe it Fran. I think that package is like $17,000 for some floor mats,badges and a hole in your hood.. Lol I was there guys. No bullshit here at all.

I have nothing against Callaway. All I can tell you is what I saw on the dyno. I can also tell you that the owner of the Callaway C7 Z06 was pretty pissed. I have no reason to lie and quite honestly I don't give a **** if you believe me or not..

Comparing a Callaway 757 to a car with zero official data except what "appears" to be LT5 printed in early or possibly fake version of order guide describing a non boosted 6.2 DOHC engine and LT5 nomenclature on supposed "leaked" Katech web page build. The majority of videos clearly exhibit the whine of a supercharged car. We've all seen the alleged ZR1 with big wing, small wing and small wing convertible. Far more questions than answers and I suspect "some" disinformation as well. Certainly, some of the Laguna Seca and some of the Nordschleife videos exhibit big wing C7 body style cars both on straights and corners going very fast and some of those videos clearly have an unmistakingly powerful sound of an engine quickly building rpms. Just my $0.02 but I think the top "track version" sold by GM is going to be capable of quicker lap times than a previous model year Callaway 757. Callaway clearly has the engineering and experience racing C7 GT3's overseas to construct C7's of any performance level they wish. Speculation is always fun especially when new facts are officially released but as of now the only measurable facts we have of the "big wing C7" are tire sizes, sound levels, partial lap times and both auto and manual transmissions have been tested.

That's just one car. I haven't seen anymore times on this car. So you are saying that 132 trap is underwhelming. Maybe you should do a fact check. Chevy claimed. 11.2@127 on the M7 ........looks overwhelming to me with a warranty attached. On top of that, the package is not 20k unless there was a change .

Good point, Snorman. Not to mention, some people just don't understand the entire aspect of drag racing.

Scraping the splitter.
To judge the output based on an single timeslip is pretty silly.

Most past Callaway cars have all bin too fast and are now collector cars. Don't worry it's still a Corvette and you can still go to church and pray to the Corvette God too. Boo Hoo
All of you/us with Z06's/ZR1's 5 years from now will be trading in at the low 40's 50's while the Callaways cars will be holding up on price.
Try to think before you bark!

I love the statement about Callaway gives you a warranty. I would to if I was increasing the power by so little. Well I guess the badges and floor mats can get expensive to replace if they go bad. I'm in the car business and I call tell you anytime a car has been modded it hurts the resale value no mater who did the work..

I know what he meant, which is why I asked to educate me.
Boba Boba Booba...same ol' butthurt?
Keep talking and give me something to work with it so I can put you back in the Troll Cave you crawled out of...

The initial Callaway package is covered for 3/36,000 and you can purchase an extended warranty prior to the expiration of the original warranty to 5/60,000.
For this reason, and many others, Callaway products do not hurt resale value. Do some research and see for yourself.
Do Shelby packages or Rousch packages hurt the resale of Mustangs? No. The reason is that they are approved aftermarket engine builders that have an agreement directly with Ford. Callaway and GM relationship is the same and Callaway cars are sold directly through GM dealerships. Bowling Green will ship Corvettes directly to Callaway for modification and then directly to dealers or even back to Bowling Green for a museum delivery if the customer wants.

Like I said and you ignored, resale on Callaways are higher than stock cars in general.
Your statement is right...I mean the spelling is right.
