Calloway Corvette C6

http://vettesandclassics.com/content/corvetteframe.aspx

What do you guys think of these cars? I stopped by my local chevy dealership yesterday to check out the Calloway C6 Vette, they had outside. I've previously checked out the C6 Z06, and ZR1. Vettes, and camaro's move fast at this dealership. They are stocking dozens at a time. Which would you get and why

Calloway Grand Sport SC606
Z06
ZR1?

Personally, I think they are kindda expensive now, with the Calloway, and Z06 costing $80,000, and the ZR1 costing $120,000 (According to the window stickers).

I'd probably go with a ZR1 just because it still seems to have kept itself above Callaway, barely of course. Anything below, & definitely a Callaway for the performance & they're unique-ness.

They're very good cars, very rare & pack a lot of power.

I don't know if I could get over that carbon hood bump or whatever. I am guessing you could delete it tho.

While of course I would prefer the ZR1, realistically the Z06

Disappointed in this version. Usually they do a much better job with the exterior mods.

This one looks like they did a rhinoplasty...badly.

I'd go with the ZR1 over all but one Callaway, the C16 with the top spec 700 horsepower engine.

That has the exclusiveness and performance to be even more special.

ZR1...I like them the best. All though the Calloway would be my second choice.

Go with a ZR1. I looked at Callaway Corvettes a while back when I was shopping and couldn't honestly like them for what they were. Although I had upgraded the power in my C6Z, it just never felt the same. I think the ZR1 is still a tad overpriced. There are just too many comparable cars in the 100k price range. (hp aside)

For less than the price of the Calloway, I'd rather get a Z06 and throw bolt -ons with a blower on it. it'd still be over 700 whp and will cost less.
