Same song - different verse I too am a dreaded second owner. Your story is so close to mine it is uncanny. My SC had bearing failures after 11,000+ miles and the second after 23,000+ miles. (I have been told by Callaway this is unheard of.) In both cases Magnuson was unresponsive to my...

One to consider I have a 2007 Callaway convertible with less than 23,500 miles on it. I would need more than $32,000. Are you interested?

Magnuson Comment I know many people who rave about their Magnuson supercharger and they have had good luck with that company. I may be the only person in the history of Callaway Corvettes to have had 2 failures of a Magnuson superchargers in slightly over 23,000 miles. They are terrible to...

Point noted. I realize the time constraints and legal cutoff of any warranty. However, on a purported bulletproof supercharger which many Vette owners/racers rave about and claim to be trouble free/dependable I am disappointed (I'll leave it at that). A supercharger with less than 13,000 miles...

Best C5 superharger When I test drove the car in December at the dealership where the car was sold new I was told the main difference in the engine sound as compared to my '04 Vette was a whine. I expected that and at first I thought it was kind of cool. Over the 800 miles or so since the...

Best C5 superharger Although I have a C6 Callaway (2nd owner) and I know a lot of people just love Callaway and swear by their Magnuson superchargers the last few weeks I was ready to swear at the latter. I had to spend over $2,300 bucks to rebuild the supercharger with less than 13,000 miles...

I can tell you as the 2nd owner of a 2007 Callaway car there is no warranty on the supercharger or any portion of the powertrain. I just had to spend $2,300 dollars to have Magnuson (the supercharger manufacturer) replace bearings and impellers. Callaway doesn't give second owners the time of...
