- As far as I know, the Callaway Turbo was a factory option from GM up until
- recently. I seem to remember someone saying that Reeves Callaway was done
- modifying Corvettes, though... Can anyone verify this? I think it was on
- a recent 'Motorweek Magazine' or somesuch.
- Anyway, the Callaway could be had with either single or twin turbochargers,
- and had a fairly extensive nose and tail treatment. Nice looking car. I
- don't think it had many handling mods, but the engine sounds like it'd be
- sweet. I've never seen one personally...
