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

Callaway Cars debuted the C16 today at the LA Auto Show, which garnered the relatively small coach builder a lot of attention. The 16th built-to-order Callaway model in the company's history, the C16 is based on the Chevy Corvette C6 platform and adds a supercharger to the Vette's 6.0-liter LS2 V8. The blower increases the engine's power to 616 bhp and 582 ft-lbs. of torque, which makes for some impressive numbers. 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds. The quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. A top speed of 206 mph. And considering the green theme of this year's LA Auto Show, we should also mention the C16 gets 18mpg city/28 mpg highway. It's also compliant with GM's 5-year/100,000-mile warranty and supplemented by Callaway's own 5-year/100,00-mile warranty that covers Callaway-installed hardware.

I am never a big fan of corvette but this doesnt look bad at all ( wrong color + interior look much better than stock ). At $120k 0-60 3.3 sec actually this is a bang for the buck i think compare to the competition.

It looks like they mated a Camaro with an EV1. It may go 10,000 mph, but its still an ugly ass car going 10,000 mph.

I think it looks phenomenal. Great interior, exterior, and fast as hell. Very nice car.
