I thought these were pretty cool. Here’s the whole page if you want to read up on the car. The interior is soo pimp too. they should have done the same leather treatment to the base Vettes.

I like the wheels there different. I guess we will have to wait and see how they hold up structurally though.

god damn…the front of that car looks aston martinish and the rear looks like it came from a ferrari.

Kind of ricey but I dig them

are you kidding? it would be ricey if it were a composite sticker. that shit is better than titties.

c-pillars on that car look like an afterthought at best. Other than that, it’s ok.

I’m not feeling the exterior at all.

I am sure it is fast as fook though.

motor gets a :tup:

:word: its not rice if it serves a purpose

Wow that is crazy. I like it.

Callaway Cars debuted the C16 today at the LA Auto Show, which garnered the relatively small coach builder a lot of attention. The 16th built-to-order Callaway model in the company’s history, the C16 is based on the Chevy Corvette C6 platform and adds a supercharger to the Vette’s 6.0-liter LS2 V8. The blower increases the engine’s power to 616 bhp and 582 ft-lbs. of torque, which makes for some impressive numbers. 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds. The quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. A top speed of 206 mph. And considering the green theme of this year’s LA Auto Show, we should also mention the C16 gets 18mpg city/28 mpg highway. It’s also compliant with GM’s 5-year/100,000-mile warranty and supplemented by Callaway’s own 5-year/100,00-mile warranty that covers Callaway-installed hardware. The design is classic Callaway, which should be expected from designer Paul Deutschman who has spent twenty years with the company. From many angles, however, the C16 is the spitting image of a last-gen Camaro. Like we said, classic Callaway. The price for a coupe is bit steep at $119,865, but that’s not so bad for a hand-crafted 3.3-second car that gets 28 mpg and is backed with a manufacturer’s warranty.

i don’t even like corvettes and i would fsck the shit out of that car.

it’s actually a fair price too. does the 120,000 include the car?

those head lights are disgusting… it looks like a fish with down syndrome…

fish w/ down syndrome taste good though.

goddam that front end is ugly.

looks like a cross between a orange praying mantis and a camaro.

LOL i like the extra chromasome FISH idea.

I could only imagine the trust involved in having a shop mount/unmount tires on those things.

Wow, impressive mpg numbers for it’s performance capabilites! I’m a bit envious actually…

Not really surprising, it probably has the same tall 6th gear that they have been using in the Corvette and F Body for years now…

ugh callaway vettes always look so fucking nasty :bloated:

Wow, that looks like absolute shit. ROFL @ the interior comment. So uhh, they took a stock vette interior and added some leather covered Recaro Pole Positions with alcantara inserts… so?

Man, looks like Nemo flopped onto shore only to be nailed by that car. Has it’s good/bad sides.
