Just in case anyone is interested we have a silver 08 580bhp Callaway C6 on the way. Its also got the Callaway/Eibach suspension package. Pretty much as reviewed by Clarkson in the Sunday Times last week. It goes to Callaway next week and will be with us in about 5 weeks. Can't wait!!!!

Why on earth would you want to sell it? I'd accidently nick it off the deliverly lorry and hide it in my garage when the boss wasn't looking.

I only sell them, I cant afford to keep them!!! I wish I could, trust me. At least I get to drive it to the SVA test centre- all of 5 miles each way in a 30mph zone!!!! arrghhh.
Plenty of red ones out there if you're interested ;-)

We saw an offical euro spec car GM had at Le Mans looked great and they still came with the warranty for 3 years! It looks nice in silver.

We're currently in talks with Callaway to be their approved U.K. distributor so I'll let you know when I find out.

I think you will find they do not want to offer anyone an exclusive at the moment as they envisage it hindering their business rather than enhancing it and I have to agree. We have a tremendous relationship with them so if anyone needs any advice do let me know. We also have another 2 on the way, both similarly specced to the one already here.

Ahhhh, nice to see the banter continues, despite the demise of the Corvette's favourite thread "Anyone else had trouble with Stratstone?" !!!
