Drove my friend's C7 Z06 Callaway 757 yesterday. The car is a complete animal, in a good way. Boundless power. Easy to get sideways. I walked before I ran to ascertain where it got out of shape. Highway pulls were fun. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear you really had to roll into the throttle.
Absolute blast.

Personally I would do the Callaway before the C8 Z06. More power and way less money.

Lingenfelter is releasing their cost on Oct 1 for the Magnuson sc system. 705 hp, curious to see their cost as i had that system on my c7 and loved it. Also wonder how the dct is having all the extra power without being upgraded. Should be interesting to see some results from these two companies.

Great! Did they confirm a price and horsepower? Are you doing Double D exhaust?

When do you deliver it? My friend's turnaround was 3 weeks.

When we're talking about $5,000 exhausts and $120,000 Z06s, $25K for a turnkey solution from a reputable tuner doesn't seem that bad. Willing to bet that it won't perform as well on a track as the standard car but that isn't why people buy tuner cars like this. It's all about hard parking and showing off a Cars n' Coffee. And that's fine with me.

no price and the double d is a callaway trademark, I'm going for the launch kit and supercharged, this is for a C8, not in production yet, my car is due about the same time the supercharger is

Curious why you would think that. Nothing in Callaway’s history would suggest what you are saying is accurate.

the Callaway performs much better on the track with the launch kit they also do suspension updates. Wheel and tire updates and aero updates virtually remove the pull you feel in a stock C8 on the track
