The Callaway C16 does 0 to 60 in 3.3-seconds, and a quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. Top speed of the manual transmission coupe is 206 mph. Equally impressive is its fuel efficiency rating of 18 city/28 highway. It is emission compliant worldwide.

Wow is all I can say. This thing will push like in excess of 650HP and do low 3's for the zero to sixty runs. That's better than all the 300k plus ferrari's and lambos. The ZR1 vette will cost about 100 grand.
Trying to spend that $20M already? [;)]
Granted, the Callaway costs more than the ZR1 vette; however, I used to belong to one of the largest corvette clubs in the USA and there were numerous people who either owned and/or had owned a ZR1, but I never met one who owned a Callaway. My point: if you really want to stand out in the corvette community, perhaps a Callaway is the way to go and been seen. [;)]
