Like fast cars? Then you'll probably like these three Callaways we have on exhibit in the Museum. Two are 1987 Corvettes with the B2K option. The option was Callaway's first major Corvette tuning project and while not factory installed, could be ordered through participating Chevrolet dealers. The B2K option came with twin turbos, a manual transmission, 345hp, 465 lb. torque and the top speed for the car was 177.9 MPH. They were fully assembled at the Corvette Plant, then shipped to Callaway Engineering in Old Lyme, CT for the engine and other modifications. The Bright Red B2K was the very first one produced and was donated to the Museum by Mead Briggs. The Dark Red is graciously on loan from Scott Bartels. The 2003 Z06 Corvette on display was used to develop the Callaway C5 Power Groups, serving as a test mule before the car went into production. Featured in Corvette Enthusiast and Vette Magazine, the car has power group 1, 2 and 3, and it ran an 11.7 at 121 MPH with almost 500 HP. The car was donated by Gary Nichols and you can read more on our blog here. ​ ​ <tbody> </tbody> NCM Quick Links Corvette Store Become a Member NCM Insurance Visit Our Homepage <tbody> </tbody> ON THE FAST TRACK CHILDREN'S T-SHIRT $12.00 ​ <tbody> </tbody> 2015 CORVETTE MUSEUM EVENTS​ NCM HPDE Sept. 3-4​ 21st Anniversary Celebration Sept. 3-5​ MiM Lone Star Boots, Fun & Fast presented by Michelin Sept. 14-19​ MiM 1-Lap of KY Tour October​ Vets 'n Vettes presented by Mobil 1 Nov. 5-7​ 2016 CORVETTE MUSEUM EVENTS​ MiM North American International Auto Show Jan. 14-16​ MiM Daytona Rolex 24 presented by Michelin Jan. 26-31​ Michelin NCM Bash April 28-30​ MiM Tail of the Dragon presented by Michelin May 1-4​ C4 Gathering May 12-14​ MiM LeMans Tour June 11-21​ MiM Marble & Glass May 19-22​ MiM Milford Proving Grounds July 13-17​ 22nd Anniversary Celebration September 1-3​ R8C Reunion TBD​ MiM 1-Lap of KY October​ Vets 'n Vettes presented by Mobil 1 November 3-5​ <tbody> </tbody> CORVETTES AT CARLISLE​ August 28-30, 2015​ The annual Corvettes at Carlisle event features more than 5,000 Corvettes representing all generations of America's classic sports car.
