Way cool.
By the way, Chris, I think there may be something wrong with the Callaway GS you guys sold me.
It appears I'm going to get nowhere near the tire life out of the rears I will get out of the fronts.
125k miles not too far away on your ride.

We have checked out the car and found the "trouble" exists with the right foot of the operator
Hammer Time! 
We're still driving the heck out of our car and hope you are, too - sounds like it

I always enjoy your road trip threads with pictures Chris. I have driven this car several times and it's so mild mannered you would never know of all the power on tap. In the past I was always concerned with the reliability of a supercharged engine because I drive my cars everywhere. After meeting Chris several years ago and seeing and hearing how much he drives this car thru all kinds of weather in all parts of the country, what better testament to the work they do at Callaway. I was also lucky enough to drive this car on teh South course at Autobahn and take a full speed ride with Mike Zoner at the wheel on the North course. The power comes on so smooth it just grips and goes. Great car. Thanks Chris for what you do, you have certainly sold me on reliability.

And figured I would mention that 25 years of Callaway is the theme for Corvettes at Carlisle this year.
Is anybody else with a SC652 plan on going to Carlisle this year. I have only seen one other SC652 and Tom Oates sold and shipped that car off to the mid west someplace if I remember correctly.
