It would be nice if one of these early Callaway recipients made a few videos of how they directly compete against the Z06 and other Superchargers like the Procharger and Ligenfelter. Maybe from a dig and a few roll races from different speeds. We’ve waited long enough, someone step up and get this done.

Love the Turbo Buicks
I have had a couple 1987s over the years. Those, and 5 Callaways, amongst other fun cars and trucks

Car looks awesome, especially with the different wheels.
I heard from Callaway this week and they have been delivering a bunch more cars. I did not ask how many of the buyers were online, don't really care. But they are delivering cars and to a pretty good reach of the USA. So I imagine one might see them around, here and there. I sure look forward to that.
In an awesome chance of happenstance, I was out driving the other weekend and saw a classic Callaway Corvette turn in-front of my at a light. Got behind it and followed it to the gas station. It turned out to be car #500 of the 510 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvettes - and the first of their Series 500 cars built. Car was a 1991 and has been in his family this whole time. He lives about 2 miles from me, and I've never seen the car around town before. Not anytime over the past 33 years. Point being, they are out there, just not "out there" until one crosses paths

Have just received word that Callaway will have my '23 HTC Z51 picked-up this Tuesday. for delivery in Old Lyme They project a <2 week turn-around. It seems as if the pace of installs is finally picking up. For those still waiting, hang in there. I put my deposit in over 13 months ago. Someone else earlier remarked that "good things are worth waiting for".

Does anyone following this thread happen to have a Torch Red Callaway C8 in Houston? I saw one, from a bit of a distance yesterday afternoon, headed south from Bellaire Blvd. It looked and sounded Great!
BTW, are those of you that have the Callaway Supercharger happy with them?

I still haven't driven mine yet. It keeps snowing here. The county was out with the salt trucks again this morning.

My '23 HTC just got it's super charger installed this past Friday, along with the Callaway badging and clear engine cover. Callaway's techs are planning on running it through its paces tomorrow, and then ship it back to my home in Virginia Beach by mid-week . I was told that this is the FIRST regular production HTC C8 super charged Callaway. Looking forward to a great road trip to Hilton Head at Easter..
