One of the concept vehicles that would be making its way to the knowledge and the hearts of the auto industry is the Carbrio, a concept vehicles quite fascinating and quite so popular among many car followers and aficionados. And this would show off whatever pieces of technology the Cabrio would have like perhaps some Pacesetter Exhaust parts and accessories.

problem is, at $130k its still a vette. at that price range you are going to get more stares from the ladies in your tricked out porsche or “previously owned” ferrari or lambo.

Good performance, terrible styling. The interior and extior are just aweful. I’ll wait for a Blue Devil…

Hahaha, get some taste, “Piablo”, you monkey … it’s a ****ty interior. Bad enough on a $70k car, let alone for this price.

FACT IS FACT.

Haha, Impulsive’s back playing the same old tune. Get a life buddy.

Calloway puts out some great stuff. Check out their site and see what they have to offer. They build their own race cars and these Vette rebuilds basically help fund it. If you want something as rare as an Enzo for a 5th the cost, this is a prime candidate.

Chill out everyone. If you’re into American muscle, which I am, this car is great. If you don’t like it, so be it. No-one told you to drive and own it, so just give your opinion. Just because one American car is rubbish, it doesn’t mean they all are. Of course only the kick-ass musclecars are worth having, but we’re not here to discuss that. Bear in mind this is a peaceful car news site, please don’t go off with drunken fits of anger.

CTS DRIVER,

Chill. Ignore those chumps. You’ll be surprised just how much fun you’ll have if you do.

Geez, its only the internet no need to stress. No ones forcing you to come here, you click the link and do it. “There’s no crying in baseball”

Perhaps you missed my point. Multiple comments on the interior sucking or being great, exterior styling etc. What I am saying is you are judging an artists conception of what this car is. Any argument about the car aesthetically is moot because we just have this interpretation. I don’t know what the source of the pictures are but I’m guessing they aren’t actually from Callaway or Paul Deutschman as they look fairly amateur. But nice call on the personal insults RLX02. And CTS DRIVER, if you’re going to insult people, don’t spell LOSER wrong.

I thought the Geiger Esso Hummer H2 was ugly, but this takes the title.

Why not? You can try to argue differently but you’d be taking it up with the wrong guys, I didn’t choose the Vette, but the Corvette is not a bad car. It actually world class. That and Callaway has been super-tuning Vettes for ages.

I would not mind owing a Callaway C16. There’s some real brainpower behind their conversions. Besides that, you can get matched luggage for your Callaway (no joke). Callaway provides a comprehensive package (with warranty) for those with discretionary income.

RLX02–
yes, i know the pic is fake. Thats why i said, they are going to unveil it at the auto show, so it means, there will be a real thing. I’m not stupid.
I also said that i can B-E-T that it will show the blue crappy interior as the pic above. Key word- BET.
So, relax there.

Some of you guys suck. Is it to much to ask for you to leave critical comments based upon the appearance of the car and not on each other. With that said, I would take this car any day, without the body. This is a hideous, thoughtless execution of a supercar. If I look at that picture one more time im going to throw up. Hate it. The engine is awesome though. Thank you.

Where do the ugly fiberglass flying buttresses from the coupe version fold down into? While I commend Callaway’s consistent efforts to extract maximum performance from the Corvette in any way possible, the appearance “enhancements” he employs don’t do anything for me.

S-60 driver

did you even look at the picture? Its completely obvious that its photoshop. Yes there is going to be a real car, NO, this isnt it. You can cleary tell someone photoshopped a convertable top onto the C16. The resolution of the two pictures are different and all they did is photoshop the interior blue and the exterior bits blue. And for the last freaking time, people who are going to buy this can get any color they want. Its not going to have a blue only interior. sheesh.

Blakkarr — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 23:11:10 +0000

You know that interior IS fake. Someone pointed that out earlier, photoshopped, as he said. A real Corvette interior looks like a very nice as is made to last.

Let’s contrast to my crappy BMW 6e convertibler: My car produces half the horsepower, and the fuel economy is the same. I need to swap out motors.

As much as I like the idea of a super-hot Vette, I still feel like companies like Callaway and Saleen would be better served by scratch building their own cars from the ground up. They do great work modding existing cars, don’t get me wrong, and I do remember the S7, overpriced and remarkably underwhelming despite it’s massive power and awesome style. That car couldn’t even place above fifth in the American LeMans series.

Anyway. The C16 looks cool, reads a cool, but I’d just skip the hoopla and get a Z06.

S-60, look no further than the Pontiac G8 to see just how far an unveiled model can be from its illustrations..

^ RLX02-
they are going to UNVEIL this crap at the New York Auto Show, there will be a real thing. I can bet that it will have the blue crappy interior and same body design as the pic shown above!

otherwise, a waste of car with all the crappy interior crap, yuk!! CRAP CRAP CRAP!!

to the morons who just look a the picture and don’t read the article:

ITS NOT RELEASED YET. THIS MEANS ITS A PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURE AND YOU CAN CHOOSE WHATEVER INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR COLOR YOU WANT.

think/read before you talk, idiots. I hate flaming but idiots who post need TO GO.

Considering the first sentence of the article establishes that it hasn’t been revealed yet…duh.

This picture appears to be photoshopped. Look at the hood cowl and the blue accent trim behind the seats.

Homeboy, Corvettes are heralded for excellent gas mileage for their engine size. Do you actually know anything about automobiles, or do you just pop in to troll?
