    Callaway C16

    Callaway C16 #1 - Hi-Res Hide-Out

    Callaway C16 Component Program


    Powerfully Engineered Components...built for you.
    View the Callaway C16 as a menu for the equipment and performance potential of a new or a presently owned C6.
    More performance than a ZO6 Coupe is now available in any of the platforms; Convertible or Coupe , 6 speed manual transmission or 6 speed automatic.
    New cars may be ordered through authorized Callaway Corvette dealers nationwide, or currently owned cars can be equipped at any of the three Callaway Factories - Old Lyme, Connecticut - Irvine, California - or Leingarten, Gemany.
    The following component descriptions detail each modification- what it is, what it does, and what it costs, as either an installed modification or as a component package.
    In either case, you will be getting the best we know how to make. We have spent 20 years selecting, developing and maunufacturing a highly specialized set of components for Corvette platforms. We have come to appreciate what works, what doesn't, what's a liability down the road, and what gives lasting satisfaction. If you were a highly trained engineer, with a refined aesthetic, who had been willing to focus on one area- automotive performance- for your working life, and then condensed that knowledge into a series of coordinated modifications, manufactured them as well as can be done, and offerded them to the enthusiast in packages that treat the car as a well-tuned, systems-engineered entity, you would be us... making Powerfully Engineered Automobiles.

    Drive Train
    Transmissions: 6-speed manual (available w/wo Z51 Performance Package) or
    6-speed automatic with paddle shift. Manual gearbox cars receive a clutch upgrade during the install of the supercharger system.Higher clamping force, improved friction material and co efficient of friction is increased without undo 'stoplight strain'

    Suspension
    Callaway/Eibach Multi-Pro coil-over suspension with double adjustable dampers, external reservoir with 10-position compression control; companion helper and tender springs supplementing composite leaf springs; front and rear Callaway anti-roll bars, tubular steel.
    Callaway and Eibach have jointly developed the ultimate suspension upgrade for the C5/C6 platform. Our objectives were as follows:
    Give the driver a tool to transform the ride of the automobile to his/her taste.
    The elements that are now adjustable with the Callaway Eibach system are; ride height, pitch attitude, cross- weighting of the entire car, and of course ride frequency in both rebound and compression. With all these adjustment options we look to satisfy the driver who will tailor his ride and handling to their local conditions whether that be road or track, high speed or around town, autocross or cross counrty. Of course, we have good starting point suggestions for each of those uses. Once in place, you are encouraged to experiment.

    AeroBody II
    The Callaway C16 body replaces every panel of the standard C6 body with the exception of the roof panel. Designed to be a panel for panel replacement, it uses the standard attachment points as its datum, and preserves the satandard cut lines of door hood and rear hatch openings. The panels are made of high grade glaass fiber with a gel coat painting surface, They are designed to be refinished with either the standard GM top coat materials or any of the Callway specified paint colors and attendant systems... PPG, House of Kolor, Sikkens, Glassurit, et al.
    Re used from the standard car are the headlight projectors, the turn indicators and the side lights and one set of the tail lights..
    New headlight lenses and inner reflectors are suppied.
    Door handles and door handle dut outs are eleiminated and a unique keyless entry system is introduced. The GM fob is retained and a spring-to-open latch mechanism is supplied. A fail safe mode is also retained in case of a flat battery.
    Soft flannel car covers are available that are custom fittted to the C16 shape.

    Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

    The interiors are a work of art. Done to the exacting standards of the world's best trimmers, the C16 interiors are offered in two levels.
    Level One- the basic package is included in the base price of the car. It assures that at a minimum the steering wheel and the instrument cluster and the serial number plaque will be customized in keeping with the designation of the car.
    Level Two- full german leather apointments for the look, feel and smell of a car crafted to the highest standards. The client chooses his/her color palette to complement or contrast the exterior color. Detail emvbellishemnt may be specified at this point.

    Matched Luggage
    Matched travel luggage is generally specified using the same hides as the interior. Luggage is marked witht he VIN. The design of the 5 piece set is customized so that all pieces fit the available boot space in a nested fashion. The luggage is supplied by Schedoni, spA. Supplier to Ferrari

    Chevy needs to learn how to put that interior in the C6. That would be killer.

    That supercharger wouldn't hurt either.

    Kinda look like a cross between a Corvette, a 599GTB (the rear lights) and a Lotus Elise. Strange.

    EDIT: Looks like a Lotus Elise for the rear part only. Strange comparisons too.

    The rear looks very much like that of a 599.

    I agree, the interior is the killer...

    The interior sucks....

    It's the same as on the Corvette, but it's painted brown.

    I like the interior, but in all honestly, I like the corvette paneling better than the Callaway. The performance upgrade is nifty though, to be sure.
