Love the Callaway 757
I have a 2017 Callaway 757 m7 1lz stage 1with short throw shifter.
Had the car for 2000 miles before Callaway and 3000 since. Absolutely love the package. Power, shifter, hole in the hood, etc. Wondering if this is the general consensus of 757 owners?

I think owners of a certain age that grew up seeing cars with scoops and shaker hoods love EVERYTHING about the aesthetics of the SC757. Those of us that still possess the reflexes to throw one of these cars around properly with 757/777 hp/tq are reliving our collective childhood dreams. The car makes me smile every damned time I drive it.
2016 3LZ M7 here with the short-shifter as well.

Congratulations! They are beautiful cars. I may consider the option on mine someday.

My formidable years growing up were in the eighties. I told my wife it's not even like this is the car I've always dreamed of because had you asked me in the eighties if a corvette like this was even possible I would have said absolutely not so it's better than my dream car

OP - Congrats, man.
I've very much enjoyed my Callaway. Got their exhaust and their short shifter as well. Great set-up.
Like you, I had mine stock for a short while before Callaway got it, so I enjoyed experiencing the transformation. Mine's a '15, so I've had it a while and still love it. Been deadbolt reliable as well.
Have fun and be safe.

I have a 2016. I have accumulated about 15000 miles since conversion. I have also the short shifter. The car is a handful on and off the track but also a great deal of fun. Engineering of conversion first rate. That is why I went with them instead of changing pulleys etc. Probably prefer over a ZR1 because less garish.

Love my Callaway, had a 2015 that GM bought back, pick up a 2016 with the 25% off deal when they were happening and had it sent to Callaway. 15,000 miles and running strong. Been tracking it about every six weeks with no issues. Car is a beast, not much can run with it. No street car can touch it,... or at least so far I have not found one LOL

I don’t own an SC757 but I did spend a few hours behind the wheel of Callaway’s demo car.
Handful and Awesome would be the two words I’d use to describe it. Thank goodness the traction control is so good.

Loving mine. Had it about a year and a half and the fun factor is amazing.
Only drawback is finding somewhere to air it out.
Couldn't be more pleased. unbelievable upgrade.

I ordered 2019 Z06/Z07. My TPW is 2/12/18. I also purchased the Callaway package. My car will be dropped shipped from the dealership to Callaway in Connecticut. I opted to have the Callaway package installed prior to me taking delivery of the vehicle. Do you think it matters that I will have the Callaway package done prior to putting mileage on the vehicle?
