Man I love these Callaways... These pics were taken at Fbody Gathering 7 in 2003 and man, is this car gorgeous. If you have any more pics of it, please post them, or email them to me.


It used to be owned by a member of this message board, but he'd never post pics of it, and rarely talked about it. Rather than show it off, he would only ask questions about this and that.


The car was wrecked (and totaled by insurance since the bodykit exceeded the value of the car--you better get your car appraised and insured for a higher than stock value if you mod your car this much) about two years ago.


It's now in the process of being rebuilt by a friend of mine, and he's painting it green.


It will also have a Callaway SuperNatural 400, 383 cubic inch, 404 horsepower engine in it as well. In its state during these pics, it had a supercharged LT1.

I really like these pics. I know many of you dislike the way the Callaways look, but these pics are really beautiful.

Can someone tell me who makes those exhaust tips? I can't identify them. I thought they were GMMG style, but they aren't round enough.

 

not too found of the look of it but they are nice pics and thats a very rare car.

 

Tell your friend to can those lights and get the 93-96 tails.

 

Nice pics. Iv'e always liked the rear bumper on the Callaways.

 

That is fugly, id almsot consider what is done to that car to be "ricey" (ricey meaning ugly mods) I don't even think the photos are nice tbh.

 

I wouldn't mind having that bumper on the Z. Kind of smooth the lines on the rear. I do not like the front end though.

But it is a nice car. Just lose the tail lights.

 

I'm pretty sure my friend went back with stock tail lights. I know at least one of those ricey lights were damaged in the previous owner's crash. Those lights are weird, because each lamp has two bulges on it. You can see that really well in the third pic.

The pics don't look very good the way the forum resized them, but if you have firefox, right click>view image to see them at the original size. It's a really cool looking car.

Somebody obviously went through a lot of trouble to make that stripe kit. Stripes weren't exactly a standard option for C8s, and that stripe kit fits better than ANY of the cheap aftermarket ones I've seen.

I still want to know if ANYBODY can identify those exhaust tips though.

 

I've never seen a good-looking C8. The nose just looks ridiculous. It's even worse on the '98-up cars.

 

The red one looks nice .
The black one looks like a dodgy kit car.

 

Never? To me, this one looks more badass than any Camaro I've ever seen. It's mostly the angle, but still...

 

I also like this one. The owner of this car is still a member here, but doesn't post.

 

I don't really like the styling of these cars particularly. But I think they are really cool just because of the rarity. Some good pics. I particularly don't see many pics of the 98-02 style.

 

I like everything about the callaways but the nose. to me it looks goofy extending out that far.

 

Nope. Just looks like an LT1 Camaro with a goofy nose.

 

Only two Commemorative C8s were made. One is a 2002 and is silver and started life as a Z28, the other is a '98 and Cayenne Red Metallic and started life as an SS. Callaway originally planned to make 10 of them, but obviously they weren't popular.

The bright red one above was actually a '96 SS originally, and Callaway does not consider it one of the Commemorative C8s because it still has a SuperNatural LT1 (as far as I know) instead of an LS1/LS6 based engine. I guess I could/should ask the owner...

I love researching these C8s. Chances are, if you google Callaway C8, it'll pull up something I found or said .

I'm still looking for more pics people have personally taken though. And I still wanna know what exhaust tips the black and champagne striped C8 has. Anybody have ANY idea?
