the hashtags are just showing as a number for instance I am 62 CT so I go to Connecticut callaway told me they will take care of the shipment the supercharger etc not ready yet. MM is a callaway authorized dealer btw and like I said it goes from the factory to callaway, no one said it was automatic lol, of course the factory needs to know it goes to callaway

Callaway's update last month said that they would have pricing and power numbers this month.

Lingenfelter claims 700hp from their kit (but somehow it still traps below 130mph, LoL) so I figure Callaway will be right in that range (and still probably be 10.2x+ and sub-130mph) for the low, low price of $30,000 all in. Basically, it'll be for folks that couldn't get a Z06 allocation.

The 670 hp Z06 often traps below 130 mph, LoL.

Even Z07 (high drag) cars re consistently 130-131mph. The hot setup will be a non-Z07 with carbon wheels and brakes, those should be hitting 133 no problem.

I talked to Callaway today and was told that we'd have pricing and power numbers within days.
