As for the warranty, yes Callaway pays for their components if there is an issue. You wouldn't expect GM to pay and stock parts that they don't use in their builds so the point regarding who pays for what is really mute. The important aspect is that the car is serviceable at any GM dealership. The customer is not involved and Callaway works with the dealership directly. Callaway sends the parts to the dealership (and a technician if necessary) and pays for the labor. GM does not block the remainder of the powertrain from warranty. It therefore is a factory warranty and I also was able to purchase and extended GM warranty. This basically works the same way that ROUSCH and SHELBY warranties work with FORD.

Yes it may seem expensive to some for a measly 100HP. To me it was important to have a uniquely modded car that could be driven daily and serviced at a GM dealership if need be. Others may think this is unimportant.

If you don't care for the Callaway badging, no problem. Callaway will gladly not put them on or you can easily take them off if you desire.

Give Chris a call at Callaway. He is a great guy and their facility is top notch. I have two cars done by them and will have others in the future.
I hope it didn’t come across the wrong way in my response but we both agree it’s an extremely rare car with work done by a top notch builder. Hence the price tag.
Callaway isn’t a fly by night company that’s for sure. And their work and service and obviously the warranty a customer pays a hefty premium for. And to myself it’s understandable.

Beautiful car you have there. The twin to yours I have on order except it’s not a Callaway. Still a killer ride. I can see you’re enjoying yours😂😂👍👍.
Nice Vette too. Have fun
