When it comes to American performance vehicle specialists that possess an immense amount of clout, Callaway is definitely up there. While the Temecula, California-based company has put its hands on everything from the Mk1 Volkswagen Rabbit to the Mazdaspeed Protege, its true bread and butter has been the Chevrolet Corvette for the past 35 years. In 1987, the company unleashed the Twin Turbo Corvette, a 382-horsepower C4-generation version of America’s venerable fiberglass hero, and has done extra cool things with the nameplate (and the greater Bowtie catalog) ever since. Including, more recently, some neat FIA GT3 activities.
With the introduction of the mid-engine C8 Corvette, Callaway offered the B2K 35th Anniversary Edition. This spec was available to just 35 new Corvette owners as a factory option (coded as regular production option PCY) and included a host of exterior and mild performance tweaks to up the C8’s tenacity, particularly when optioned with Z51-equipped models that already sport a higher level of athleticism than anything that might get called rental car spec.
