Supercharger kit for the C8 Corvette

Callaway, a household name among Corvette enthusiasts for tuning and improving Corvettes, made two announcements at Corvettes at Carlisle last week. The first is a supercharger kit for the C8 Corvette. The second is a 35th-anniversary package celebrating their partnership with GM.

The supercharger kit won’t be sold as a standalone system but instead will be sold through authorized GM dealers on a turnkey basis. The actual installation will be at Callaway’s Connecticut or California facility and then shipped to the selling dealer.

Current C8 owners can also have their cars upgraded through the “Second Chance” program, but more details have yet to be released. Customers can reserve a serialized production slot with a $1,000 deposit at this time by contacting Callaway directly.

The Callaway supercharged C8 Corvette will come with a three-year/36,000-mile powertrain warranty, which supplements the factory warranty. Callaway will also offer a five-year/60,000-mile warranty, but there is no pricing at this time. All engine services can be done at GM dealerships and are 50-state emissions compliant.

The “B2K 35th Anniversary Package” is priced at $34,960 and will come with lightweight forged wheels, 20-inch rears and 19-inch fronts, and a whole mess of carbon fiber aero, including a front splitter, rocker panel extensions, a rear spoiler with a fun slot gap, and a diffuser. The performance benefit of the 35th-anniversary package is the upgraded exhaust made from T304 stainless steel, which is 40 pounds lighter than the stock exhaust. It even comes with an integrated diffuser!

Skip C’s 2021 C8
After waiting 16 months I picked up my 2021 C8 at the National Corvette Museum. I arranged for delivery on my 77th Birthday which happened to be Friday, August 13th. The day after I drove it home I started the car and noticed the odometer read 1,313 miles. Its a good thing that I do not suffer from Triskaidekaphobia.
This is the the 4th Vette I’ve owned but the other three were owned in the late 1960s and included a ’57, 59 and a ’63 Split window coupe. All those were purchased for under $3,000.
The C8 is the 386th car/pickup I have owned and is the best of all of them.
That’s me in the car and the man standing is a friend who flew out to help with the drive home.

2001 Yellow Z06
Only 27k Miles!

2001 yellow z06 corvette 5

Millennium Yellow w/Black interior, 346/385hp, 6-speed manual.
This Z06 came to us from a gentleman in Texas who recently took delivery of a C8. Space issues prohibited him from keeping both cars. So he decided the ZO6 had to go. He called us, and we were happy to take it off his hands! It was driven only 27k miles and is in excellent condition! The exterior is ceramic coated, and a clear bra protects the front end. It looks, runs, and handles just like a ZO6 should! And the rare Millennium Yellow exterior fits its character to a T! It’s been a while since we’ve had a C5 ZO6 and it won’t stay around very long.
Labor Day Special Price: $32,500


1983 Porsche 928 S
Rare color, extensive service records including belt service!

1983 porsche 928s 2

Kiln Red w/Tan interior. 4.7L/234hp V-8, 4-speed automatic.
This very nice 928S came to us from an owner up in OR.  The unusual exterior of Kiln Red is one we haven’t seen before. It complements the lines of the car quite well.  It has been well maintained over the years. It includes extensive records such as belt service, the owner’s kit, and the original window sticker! It’s a great runner and a lot of fun to drive. So, put on those Ray Bans, pop in a Bob Seger tape and let’s cruise! Watch out for the U-Boats!
Labor Day Special Price: $32,900

some random thoughts

We never really grow up, some of us just learn how to act in public.

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, and they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Behind every successful man is a surprised mother-in-law.
