Default Wow now thats a C(1)6 - Looks cool

Just wanted to give props to a very nicely designed car based on the C6 by Callaway, the C16. I really like the interior color and exterior color. I wanted to see better pictures of it in higher resolution, does someone have one?

For Callaway - is the price of 119k on top of the car or that includes the car? And can this be done for an already existing car? And is it a wide body like the Z06?

Nice work I feel, hope its a little better built...

My friend from India was with me when I saw the pictures and he loved it, he was asking if callaway would venture into converting it into a RHD version?

LA Auto Show: Callaway debuts C16, 0-60 in 3.3 sec

Very cool engineering.. engine wise. I don't like the body style nearly as much as a ZO6... but to each their own!

I liked it better when it was called an Aston Martin.

I'll see if I can snap some pics in person.

The color is questionable but otherwise it looks AWESOME!

I think the exterior is OK. Not as distinct as the stock body but nice nonetheless. I don't like the interior. From the pic its looks basically stock except the color and seats - which I think are both hideous

reminds me of the maseratti.

I don't really like it. The interior looks nice, though.

but I'd rather just have a ZO6.

To each his own. That front end looks like the car from the movie, 'Cars'.

The flying buttresses in the back make it look like a Ferrari 599.

Yeah, love the headlights, the interior is great too. I like the grille, even though it has a 90s Chrysler flavor, but I don't care for the little molded splitters. I really don't like the flying buttresses (IE blind spots), and I've never liked Callaway's double D exhausts. The rear spoiler treatment is nice, though, and that shaker hood, just outrageous, I want one.

No way I'm paying $119,000 for one though. Chevy could adopt some of these styling touches as production pieces for relatively few pennies, then I'd have to think hard about trading my 2005 for a new Corvette.

Wow that is hidious!

What's up with the Chrystler front end and the Mustang side/rear window deal?

That just looks awful if you ask me.
