At 87K there are way too many options for GREAT cars out there to even think of buying a corvette (if I was going to drop 87k on a car)..

Here is a link for the 606hp version. Trust me they have a 650hp version (SC650). The dealer just didn't have any in stock.

Isn't Callaway an aftermark company??
So GM doesn't have a 650 HP Corvette, Callaway modifies existing Corvettes and MAKES them 650 HP??
Kind of like the Fiat 500 Abarth, just not quite as well made??

They are an authorized aftermarket company similar to what mustangs have with Saleen. The upgrades are purchased through your authorized chevy dealer and still covered under your warranty. GM even covers the upgrades under their GMAC financing.

Like I said, NOT a GM product, but an aftermarket product like the Abarth..
GM does not make a 650 HP Corvette.

Well, it's an odd relationship, like the Rausch Mustangs. Not like the Arbath, which is more akin to an AMG/M/SRT in-house relationship. Arbath used to be independant, but was bought by Fiat a long time ago.
The cars are sent to Callaway, who mods them, then they are shipped to dealerships. Note sticker on it was 93K........whooooooo. And ther powertrain warranty is through Callaway, not GM, nto that that really matters a lot to me, I do trust Callaway.

93K is nothing. The 650hp version cost around 120K.
The warranty work is done at GM dealers so who really cares who floats the bill. To the customer this is all transparent.
Indeed it is. And a 1600HP Henessey Viper would mop up the floor with a Callaway Corvette....any time anywhere.
The topic was production automobiles.
If we want to talk about factory-approved or factory-associated modified cars then my Hall Pantera is "stock" too.

Any idea if the MSRP of $113 grand will actually buy one of those? The Ford GTs were bringing dealer premiums of as much as 40 grand over MSRP, in effect making $120,000 cars cost $160,000 to actually buy.
Always good to see such premimum high-end American iron still in production regardless. But since I bleed Ford blue, it would have to be a GT for me....if I sell the Pantera, that is.

ZR1's are currently selling for about 10K bellow MSRP no dealer markups at all. I'm sure the upcoming C7 is hurting all C6 sales.
The ford GT is a lot more rare. The rarity of the GT has to greatly effect the dealer markups you are seeing. I remember seeing one at the ford dealer a couple of years ago. They were asking over 200k for the car.

I dunno. Seems to me that built-to-order ZR1s at 100 grand or more a pop aren't going to be a very common sight either.
When is yours due for delivery?

2015 or 16, I have no desire for another C6 now that the C7 is right around the corner.
There is an easy solution for that. Just don't go to the dragstip.

I have no desire for a C7 Z06 after having been an owner of a C6 Z06, but I'd gladly take another one of those cars that they build on Conner Ave.
