I really wish they would release the details. Everytime I check I’m told they will in a few days. I want to do the deposit but I just want the rest of the details before I do so—predominately pricing and how the packages will work for people that do not want wheels, exhaust, etc. I already have all of that.
I'd like to see the details as well. I have to do some more Callaway related order paperwork with MM but can't until Callaway does their thing. This puts my order on hold with MM even though my car wouldn't be produced until at least May or June.

Yep, many of us are waiting for Callaway to provide some concrete power specs/performance numbers, power and appearance options, timing for availability, pricing, etc.
For those of us most interested in just the supercharger/power option: from Callaway's previous statements, the pricing is expected to be in the "mid $20k" range. I'd guess that they will have (for additional costs) options for their Double D exhaust system and/or others. Since the supercharged version will be covered with a 36 mo drivetrain warranty to be concurrent with existing warranty and serviceable by Chevrolet dealerships, I would imagine that the power upgrade would need to stay below a level (e.g. ~ 650 - 675 HP) that might begin to stress or damage clutch or DCT components. But, I could be way off here. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. Callaway has a long history of producing rock solid and EPA compliant performance - and appearance upgrades. Not necessarily the highest output/performance options available in the market, but tried and true, and backed with a rock solid warranty. For me, since I'm primarily interested in the supercharger upgrade, will the additional power and OEM PCM tuning + warranty from Callaway/GM outweigh the potentially higher performance options (without full factory warranty) available from other aftermarket providers?
Two weeks ago, when I spoke to Callaway, they told me that the numbers don't really mean anything. When I originally signed up, I was told that I was number 52 CA. Two weeks ago, I was told that was number 71 CA.
I'm sure the numbers mean something ... I was told I was #1 so it won't be hard to see if the numbers do mean something once they start building ... your order in line might not mean much because some people will back out or not be able to get their car done if it is not shipped by GM / dealer on time to Callaway ... I am abstaining from calling them because I'm sure we will get the info when it is available , I just hope we can get some built before spring .. the urge to call is tough to handle but I'm hanging in there
Looks like pricing info is still on constraint. I don't see why they can't release at least a price. Nothing this late in the game is going to change what they are going to charge. Starting to look like there might be some teething problems.
Another month of crickets and I'm going to be tempted to jump to Lingenfelter (who did a great job on my ZL1), warranty be damned!
They offer a warranty as well for an additional fee. I too have started looking into that system because I have a shop on the other coast that is a certified installer.
LF ported, polished, put a new pulley, headers, intake my ZL1 (about 820hp) and I have to say did an amazing job.
Really another month of marketing speak and I'm headed that way.

A "warranty" which doesn't work with GM's? Hard pass on that from any vendor, at any price. No thanks. Hopefully pricing soon though.
It was about $23K or something like that.
It's a great car - I asked for 1000hp but they hadn't cracked the transmission code yet and convinced me it wouldn't shift right.
Here's the family last Fall before I added the C8....

A legitimate concern. All I can say though is my LF ZL-1 gets serviced every year at Chevrolet and all I need to tell them is "don't flash it". They all love the car.
But I definitely hear you and it's why Callaway was my first choice. But the silence from them is pretty aggravating.

If your car is getting any kind of powertrain work on the dime of GM, the dealership is in risk of a backcharge if audited. OTA flashes nowadays further complicate things, which would be more aggravating if done unbeknownst.
