E-Ray pretty much killed any thought of doing a Callaway or Lingenfelter blower on my C8. For roughly the same money you get the Z06 wider body, wheels & tires, and carbon ceramic brakes. The bigger question is which will I be able to get first: an E-Ray or Z06 (~800 on Ciocca's list), and can I really bring myself to pass on the FPC LT6.

At this point the only thing that will take me off of the Callaway list, are the results once released. Native tune TT options are not far off and that will definitely put me at the power level I like. I really want the wide body but maybe its something that can be pieced together at a later time. The eRay is going to be a great car it just isn't my preference of power delivery.

If the supercharger was priced at maybe 15-20k, different story.

I didn't care for the narrow C6, C7, or C8. Wide body fixes them all.
