C5s and Callaway

[Crispyc21]

Does Callaway have any packages for C5s? I didn't see much on there web site. I know Lingenfelter has a turbo package so I know it can be done.

Are you just talking turbo packages, or a package in general?

 

[Crispyc21]

Any type of customization that makes the C5 a screamer like they do with the C4s.

Yes, The C12

:confused Not much info on the website? It's all over it. I'm not sure I'd call it a screamer but it sure does look pretty! I suppose for the right abound of cash they'd go above and beyond with the engine package. I think it comes with a massaged and stroked LS1 motor putting out 450hp. That's not bad but won't run with a well tuned twin turbo.

Yeah sorry I didn't mention.... I saw the C12 but that's a little drastic and very darn expensive. I was thinking something a little more down to earth. The C12 looks more like a body make over to me than a major engine make over.
Some of the base C4s HP numbers are almost doubled. That is just awesome!!

Ryan - The C12 is body, suspension, drivetrain, exhaust & interior all together - It is really a re-birth of the vehicle and comes back as the C12

I understand that a (very) few C5's have been "blessed" with just the powerplant (Supernatural style).

Let me know if you want to take a spin in my SNAT - the power is addictive but as Kevin (90Callaway) said, it won't be the same as a Twin turbo car

Contact Joanne Mercer @ Callaway cars - she would be able to better assist you with the current product line.
Hope this helps

I think Callaway did an excellent job on the C4s. They walked the perfect line between moding the engine and body. It’s not over done in any area. One day I will have one. I wish they could do something as impressive with the C5. I’ll be in that area of CT early August. Maybe I’ll stop by Callaway and see what they got.
Chris – I wouldn’t mind taking a spin in your SNAT anytime!!

There was a SNAT C5 on ebay out of Miami about 2-3 weeks ago so there are a couple around. It didn't seem to be going for much. Check with Joanne if they are still putting those on C5's.
