Callaway Cars is proud to introduce the new 2008 Callaway Corvette, a high-performance upgrade of the standard Chevrolet C6, built by Callaway and sold through select Chevrolet dealers. The professionally engineered 580-horsepower Callaway Corvette carries a 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty, is emissions compliant in all 50 states and at only $18,500 over the cost of a standard C6 is an unbeatable performance value.

Packing more horsepower than a Z06 yet priced significantly lower than the new ZR-1, the Callaway Corvette offers supercar shoppers an opportunity to own a 200mph sports car that benefits from highly refined Callaway performance engineering. Starting with GM's new 6.2 liter LS3 engine, an Eaton/Magnuson Roots-style supercharger elevates the car's output to 580 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque with an estimated maximum velocity of 200mph. Other Callaway Corvette components include an air/liquid intercooler, upgraded fuel system with high flow injectors, Callaway "Honker" cold air intake and a custom computer tune. Signature Callaway Double-D exhaust system, a new Callaway hood painted to match with a Silver "power bulge" and "Supercharged" insignias and Callaway side and rear badging complete the Callaway Corvette's distinct look.

"With this new package for the C6 we have incorporated Callaway's class-leading performance, while maintaining an accessible price point for the serious enthusiast" said company founder Reeves Callaway. "The 2008 Callaway Corvette condenses our years of race-winning experience into a series of coordinated modifications, manufactured to precise specifications, and offered to the enthusiast in a package that treat the automobile as a well-tuned, systems-engineered entity."

The Callaway Corvette Supercharged option package is priced at $18,500 and engineered, built and installed by Callaway Cars in the company's California, Connecticut and Germany facilities. Customers can order new vehicles from a Callaway-authorized GM dealership, directly through the factory, or deliver their own car personally or through a shipping agent. The Callaway Corvette is available as a Coupe or Convertible, with a standard or paddle-shifted six-speed automatic. High-performance suspension, brake, wheel and tire upgrade packages are also available.
