Gateway classic cars of Nashville is pleased to digitally present this 2006 Chevrolet Corvette C17 Callaway. The company's 17th ""C-Project"". In February 2006, Callaway returned to its positive manifold pressure roots, introducing Callaway ""SuperCharged"" Corvettes. Moving from the famous turbocharged C4 design to the Roots-style supercharger for 2006, the new design offered improved durability, easier maintenance, emission compliance, and instant off-idle power. Covered in a gloss black with a silver stripe this Corvette has the look that warns others to beware.
This Callaway Corvette is the SC616 version (616 horsepower) LS2 6.0 liter V8 but has been upgraded a little more via long tube headers and a healthier camshaft; all tuned to provide performance and reliable daily drivability. The result is instant throttle response (that may have a negative effect on the life of the rear tires).
Backing this potent power plant is a Tremec T-56 6-speed manual transmission, along with a stronger holding triple disk clutch. This gives you plenty of power off the line and lower RPM's at cruising speed. With all this power one might think the amenities would be in short supply, but that's not the case with this Corvette. You get comfort in things like leather interior, Air conditioning, power windows, locks mirrors and cruise control. Safety features like Anti-lock brakes, traction control and air bags. As for performance, well Callaway has that handled already. Should you have questions call the Nashville showroom at 615-213-1800
