Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself as I am new to the forum and Callaway ownership. Just recently purchased a 1987 B2K, #177 to be exact, for a complete restoration. The car is frame off right now for some suspension work and upgrades to the drivetrain. I have a new complete Aerobody ready to go when i get to that point. I will be posting pics of the project as I move forward.

Hi,

I took the first drive with my 88#23. It was great but I got the first set back, it stack to snow even it was only one inch on ground :beye .

Hello all: :hi

I was absolutely thrilled to pick up my Callaway Corvette last weekend. Can't believe the looks it gets - even had folks stopping to take pictures.

It's a 2011 Grand Sport with the SC606 package, optional chromed supercharger, exhaust diffuser slats and C16 hood.

Thanks. I would imagine Corvettes (let alone Callaway Vettes) must look even more exotic in the Netherlands. Are there many on the road?

I stopped counting at 2 and an aerobodied Vette makes 3.
89-#10 and 89-#11 and a 1992 automatic coupe

Not counting the Callaway Sport racecars :beer

New owner and new to this site. I tried the site in October when my car was at Callaway but couldn't get connected. Glad the group is online now and look forward to exchanging information on these great cars.

I have a 2011 Corvette Grand Sport (Artic White) with the SC606 package as well as the C16 hood with red bulge and red fuel rail covers. Also got the chrome supercharger.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Erik, i'm from Massachusetts, and i'm a newbie who just bought a 90 Supernatural ZR1/CR1 475 with the aerobody. The car currently has about 20k miles. I have been into vettes my whole life. I grew up with mid-years, a couple solid axles, and trips to Carlisle each year since 1993. I have had a few throughout the years and always wanted a Callaway so I am thrilled to get it!

Looking forward to detailing it and using it a bit before the cruise night season ends as well as taking it to Carlisle next summer.

I currently also have another '90 L98 6-speed showcar, an '08 TBSS, an '11 Silverado with the 6.2L 403 horse motor, a low mile gunmetal '87 GTA, etc.

This is a great website and I look forward to chatting with you all! Better pictures to come...

Take Care,
Erik
