Re: My Callaway vs car shows.
There was a limited run of RPO B2K cars in 2012. (26 total cars from 0 to 25)
Are you more confused or less???

Re: My Callaway vs car shows.
The biggest difference, of course, is the RPO. The RPO cars were built as a special edition for the 25th anniversary of the Callaway Corvette, and as part of that anniversary celebration, Chevrolet and Callaway agreed to revive the RPO B2K for this limited run.
The cars themselves were specially prepped on the Bowling Green assembly line with a unique color combination for the coupes (Cyber Gray Metallic with Carbon Flash roof and halo), front splitter brackets from the ZR1, and I forget what else. They were then shipped to Callaway in Old Lyme and Santa Ana (or maybe this was Corona in 2012), where they were completed. The RPO cars got 620 HP (vs. the stock 606, IIRC), Callaway's carbon fiber aero package (front splitter, rear spoiler, side skirts), and custom badging.
If you have not seen one, mine is one available on ebay now with photos. http://www.ebay.com/itm/122544635189?ss ... 1555.l2649

Jonstr,
Great looking car and obviously a rare one.
I guess I am going to have to paint under the hood, change every dodad on the interior and find some good aftermarket stuff to stick on the body to win.
Good luck with the sale.

Re: My Callaway vs car shows.
Big John,
Great car. Are you telling me you have won in modified class? That is a "nice" looking after market body kit. I have decided just to bribe the Judges with food or drinks i can't bring myself to do the usual molested car stuff. Have u painted the underside of the hood I have done a Shinoda/Mears and I am just starting on a 90 Zr1 LPE kit.
Love your car.

I am thinking that you might be spoiled or have some sort of strange car disease?

Drive your car and enjoy it!
Most of the corvettes at car shows are driven only to the show then home to hide away in their garages.
