96 Callaway Corvettes: 35 Years of Making Fast Faster Exhibit Now Open at the National Corvette Museum (PHOTOS/VIDEO INCLUDED) Callaway Corvettes: 35 Years of Making Fast Faster Exhibit Now Open at the National Corvette Museum (PHOTOS/VIDEO INCLUDED) WHAT: The National Corvette Museum opened its latest exhibit honoring 35 years of Callaway Corvettes. WHEN: The exhibit is open now through late February 2023. WHERE: National Corvette Museum, 350 Corvette Drive, Bowling Green, KY 42101\ WHAT: For thirty-five years, the most powerful and distinctive Corvettes in the world have been created by a team of dedicated engineers located in Old Lyme, CT, Temecula, CA, and Leingarten, Germany – they are the cars known as Callaway Corvettes, and their creed is “Powerfully Engineered Automobiles.�?? Known for their engineering and fine attention to detail in the craftsmanship of their products, Callaway has been on the top of the high-performance field for over four decades. In the early 80s, GM was looking at high performance powertrain options for the Corvette, including turbocharging and multi-valve technologies. GM was aware of Callaway’s reputation and the cars it had produced. After GM’s own single and twin turbo V6 and V8 projects had run their course, Dave McLellan, then Chief Engineer for Corvette, gave the nod to Callaway, authorizing development of a prototype. The resulting powertrain option was introduced in June 1986 under Regular Production Option (RPO) B2K. With 345 hp and 465 lb. ft of torque, the Callaway Twin Turbo engine option was engineered to be the ultimate Corvette package, producing tremendous power while retaining its emissions controls and a warranty. With the introduction of the C8 Stingray, Callaway was again issued a RPO (PCY) to commemorate the milestone anniversary for the 35th year of working with Corvette. Specific Callaway content is included in this anniversary model with Corvette order documents, build sheets and other paperwork identifying this significant milestone. Only 35 of these vehicles were built, available through authorized Callaway dealers now.
