Absolutely ridiculous! If I had $116K laying around, it would be mine!!! Although, I think I would just buy a stock C6 and throw on a $6K blower on it and go to town with a lot more cash on hand.

A little too "soft" for my taste. I'd take the older "Sledgehammer", or a new Z06 over this C16.

+1^

The Sledgehammer was an amazing machine, this is left but in the shadow of it.

It looks like it's trying extremely hard to be the 599 GTB. The rear butresses only add to that "I wish I was a Ferrari" effect.

Maybe it's just me..

Although, in the Corvette's defense, the 599 GTB has "I wish I were a Corvette" proportions and rear quarter (butresses aside).


But yeah, I would just supercharge a C6...actually I wouldn't, 400hp is perfect.

They are always looking for that guy with too much money and too little taste. Odd...there always are some.

Just looks like a model concept to me. I don't really like the way it looks either. I'll take the z06.

The problem with the Corvette is that with each new generation it seems it gets further away from an American appearing sports car that it is...and that Callaway is horrid looking imho. The C6 looks like an insect from the front. The C5 is far superior in looks to the 6..one man's opinion.


Notice I did not knock on the power the car makes..because I can't. Corvette is still a good value for your dollar power wise.

Ditto. I think it's hideous.

Like someone else said, I'd rather just buy a base and twin turbo kit.

Btw, what's with all these tuner companies and superchargers? Why don't they go turbo?
