3 weeks??! Callaway has had my 35th anniversary C8 since May. Anyone planning on doing the supercharged Callaway C8, I would be prepared to be waiting awhile. My TPW was May 10 and they took delivery May 16.

My friend's car is a C7 Z06. (See earlier post and pic). Exactly 3 weeks from drop off in Old Lyme , CT to pickup.
C8 is probably a bit more complex when the finally start doing it.

Yeah they told me 3-4 weeks once they took delivery from BG, it’s been a little over 20 weeks. They’re having supply issues with their carbon fiber pieces and wheels from what I understand, mine is still waiting on the wheels. My car is number 13 of 35 and they said they’re building them in sequential order. I can’t imagine how long 14-35 will be waiting if that’s true. Maybe if you’re just getting the supercharger, if that’s even a stand alone option, it’ll be quicker. But I’d imagine if you’re not one of those first builds using their initial inventory of supercharger kits, they’ll run into supply issues with this also.

I put my deposit down with Callaway yesterday.

I must have just missed the 2nd newsletter. Would one of you be willing to forward it to me if I PM you my email address?

Im number C57 and my c8 is being built next week. Excited but 57 cars in I expect

a. folk's car won't be ready
b. some will drop out.

I doubt though I will be in Q2 with that many cars. Offered mine to be early, a test car and they can hold on it for a while (who cares its winter and I have a Callaway GS I can drive in the time being). Doubt they will take me up on my offer. lol.

Callaway informed me that my number is 52 CA. I assume that means that my car will be done in California.

Does anyone know if cars going to Callaway are shipped directly from the assembly plant to Callaway? If not, it seems odd to ship my car from KY to MacMulkin in NH, then to Callaway in CA.

One can have their new car drop-shipped right to Callaway.
MacMulkin knows how to do that
