Sir If you are in fact serious about your inquiry, just go to the C7 Fast List. If that doesn't help go to a track and see for yourself. Not going to play with your little comment. Furthermore don't bother to reply back.

6 months on the non powertrain warranty, electronics ect. I have had several non powertrain warranty repairs and felt I would trade, and get better track days and three more years of warranty

What you don't seem to understand regarding the Callaway warranty is that you can take the car not only to a Callaway GM dealership but any GM dealership for service even for the items installed by Callaway. Then Callaway and the dealership work together to determine what parts have failed and if it is a Callaway part then they send the part, and a tech if necessary, to the GM dealership. The customer is not involved in any way with the service process.
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.

I am going to trade my 2015 ZO6 in for either a 2018 ZR1 or a 2017 Callaway SC757. I would like more horsepower for the track. I live in south Florida and track the car at Daytona and Sebring. I have a M7 and although I have not had limp mode, I have had decreased lap times as the car heats up. I would like opinions about cost vs performance and value.

The gmepp warranty is so inexpensive off of forum venders ...it's so easy to extend your current cars warranty...or you can't go with a callaway vehicle..
I am somewhat biased as I prefer the more subtle styling cues of the callaway vehicle along with the larger s/c and the open hood. That open hood isn't hard for Oem manufacturers to get past regulations etc but callaway doesn't have to worry about that..
I am not a fan of those large rear wings shown on prototype ZR1 s so again I'm biased towards the callaway package...
Plus you already own the 2015 z06.....
Have fun I. WHAtever you decide...all your options are wonderful choices to have.

^^^ Just to clarify, I believe you would have to trade up to at least a 2016 Z06 and pretty soon a 2017 to send for a Callaway conversion . Callaway will only convert the current year and previous year models. Maybe in some cases special arrangements can be made. Best to talk to Chris at Callaway.

Convertibles are really not allowed on most road courses but if they are where you live? Cool...

Not that I am bad mouthing RPM in any way as a Supporting Vendor. I'm sure they are good at what they do and I appreciate their support of the forum.
Chris, Sorry I missed the Callaway exhibit at the museum. Would of been nice to see all of your great cars made over the years all in one place.

The guy with the mustang who spent half of what a typically equipped Z06 thinks it is totally crazy to spend Z06 money to get 650 BHP....he called you a baller. I own the baddest Callaway with 811rhwp and I call the Aventador guys ballers. They call the 918 guys ballers and they call the Viron guys ballers....get it. Has to do with perceived value to the owner. Oh and as for best bang for the buck, the guy on the supercharged Kawasaki sport bike thinks all of us are a joke (ballers).

Apparently your short memory goes along with being short on class and ethics. I've quoted what you said just to refresh the negative remark you made. You called another vendor's product terrible....explain that away.

Fact is
Callaway has a great reputation and they do quality work
Who cares about those dam bogus dyno numbers
My C7 GS ran 141(bolt on kit)
at the track w no dyno or some clueless tuner claiming numbers
Chris lets take one of your cars to my rental in fall ..let the car do all the talking
Karma sucks and came around hard here as i expected
