How should I start,
How many people have driven a 600 HP car? I for one have never driven a 600 HP car before this one and this car scared me when I first it got it . Power is relative although. I have read l the reviews on the Callaway Corvette. Most of the reviews said the car was great. The other reviews said the car was overpriced. First things first you get what you pay for!!!!!!!!
Do you Have want warranty?
Do you feel confident you driving?
This car has given well and is truly a one of a kind experience.
Please let me know how far you want me to go on how I feel about this ??
I do have a lot more to say but not today............

OK...First let me say my Navy retirement went from child sup (17yrs worth) then for my toy. Allows great pleasure in driving my dream car. I had a 2011 Callaway 572 Camaro...awesome car but to heavy, bad blind spots. The power, I felt was subdued. Traded for a 2009 SC580 Cyber Gray vert, This car set you in your seat if able to keep traction. Then at Carlisle 2012, the 60th Collector edition was there calling my name. Buy me, enjoy me, you will never regret it. Someone else bought it, the previous owner of my SC580. Amen I was saved as my pockets are not really that deep. But then I heard it from the Dave Gill Chevrolet rep... " I have another waiting for final order" at Old Lyme and it has YOUR name on it. ARG!!!! The blood rushed to my head, i was getting dizzy with excitement, had to leave. Got back to Ohio, the euphoria still blazing inside of me. I went to the dealer, and let it all loose. Had to wait 30 days until finished but it was mine. Took delivery Oct 10. After breakin, and visiting my hometown Erie, Pa. Took my nephew for a spin around the block, I mashed the pedal 1st then qwik 2nd, we were slammed in our seats (never went over 50) local speed limit. I felt a bump on my right cheek, it was the grin of my 15 yrs old nephew. I had one also.
Yes it is scarey fast when you want it, it gets 27mpg cruzin 74mph. It's like your first born child or grandchildren in my case. Just awesome!!! 652hp 620 ft lbs

I would love to hear your thoughts in a factual manner, without prejudice if possible. The reason, I am a sick man, and always wondered if I woulda, coulda, shoulda got the callaway version of the 427 vert. I am almost dumb enough to consider trading up already.......

While the OP bought an SC606, the person I quoted, R50thC5, did buy a Callaway Camaro first, then a pre-owned SC580 convertible, then in September, a brand new SC652 based on the new 427 Convertible.
If I can be of help, please send me a note - thanks!

I've got a stable full of some pretty nice stuff. I'm on vette number 7. I'm not just into vettes, if it has wheels, chances are, I've raced or collected it. My Centennial Calaway GS vert 6 spd is the most amazing car I have ever owned. Period. When c7 arrives in vert form, I will be sending it directly to Callaway. I can't say enough about my car. As posted earlier, Callaway rocks. It is not however for the faint of heart.........
