Rare car, and fast. I still don't like anything in particular that has the Calloway name on it...

Re:

Its a previous generation callaway. You can probably get the current one for the same price. I'd rather have a c6 Z06 and a 996TT for that price.

this car really needs to be seen in person. Callaway had his personal one out at crystal cove abotu 2 years ago and it was absolutely stunning in person. It was a great looking deep blue and you could see the CF weave through the paint.

I had never been a huge fan of his cars till I saw that one in person.

I saw about 10 of them in person at Carlisle this year. I am just no fan of them whatsoever. I don't know about the performance side of things but speaking strictly from an appearance standpoint.....I'd take a Carravaggio over one of these in a heartbeat (no pun intended).

the c12's are ultra rare handbuilt automobiles. callaway is the premiere corvette developer and they have some great race history. they are similar to Ruf, in that they build a lot of their cars from the frame up, not only after market conversions. only 17 c12's were ever made. I've seen this car at Ruf. It's in new condition, less than 2000 miles on it for a car that's seven years old. the interior is red, in person. I was told that it has at least 480hp and all the body panels are kevlar. They have the original window sticker, $222,000. If you like corvettes, you can't help but appreciate this car for it's inovations and uniqueness.
