UDMan is writing for the CarDomain blog these days, but he's been kind enough to share some of his latest finds with us. The '83 Callaway Porsche 944 we saw earlier today got us in a German Callaway sort of mood, so let's check out this super-rare '82 Callaway Volkswagen Scirocco that UDMan spied while covering a Callaway event: More »

Only 23% of you felt that Barack Obama's Chrysler 300C was really worth $100,000 yesterday, and value calculation really is a tough call on a presidential car when the ex-owner isn't even president yet (and there are no photos of him actually driving the thing). Today we're going to explore the concept of rarity; here we've got a seriously rare high-performance car, modified by a highly respected company better known for its work with Chevrolets than with Porsches… More »

You ship your typical automotive journalist to Southern California and hand him the keys to a blown Callaway Corvette packing 616 horsepower, you figure you're going to get a review that could be summarized in one word: "AIIIIIEEEE!" You send Jeremy Clarkson, however, and you get a review that starts off with ten paragraphs loaded with jabs like "They can get our immediate help in the Gulf, but we had to beg for assistance against the Nazis and the Argies. With America, the world is a one-way street" before you even hear about the car (which, though Clarkson describes it as "nailed together by apes," he does allow that he "absolutely bloody loved it.") Now, as the author of a novel targeted at the tepid BDSM proclivities of the Brits, I have the ammunition to come back with some bashing of Mr. Clarkson's benighted, caned-by-stern-headmistress, forever-tainted-by-British-Leyland island... but we take the high road here at El Jalop!

If you're planning a junket to Pebble Beach for the Concours d'Elegance next month, pack your seersucker fedora and don't forget to stop by Callaway's tent. That's where the longtime 'Vette tuning shop and coachbuilding house of late is rolling out the latest and flagship model in its line of reskinned Corvettes. It's the C16 Speedster, a take on the short-windshield roadster construct introduced in 1954 with the Porsche 356 Speedster and a throwback to the 1990 Callaway Speedster. A supercharged, intercooled 6.2-liter V8 produces 700 horsepower and 660lb-ft of torque, and Callaway's touting a v-max number in the 250 mph range. The Speedster also introduces a new, customizable suspension setup that uses Eibach coilovers. But before you hike up your skivvies and start writing a check, make sure you've got at least $305,000 in your piggy bank. More »

Those silly Callaways, always raising the bespoke Corvette bar. You've seen the orange C16 'Vette that debuted at the Montreal auto show. Now, its roofless sibling will show its junk in New York. Buyers will have a choice of 560 or 616 horsepower's worth of supercharged V8 sloth mitigation. The company says it's good for 200 mph with the top down, which means at least one Orange County real estate developer had better have gotten the super-duty hair plugs. – Mike Spinelli More »

No, Wilde and Spinelli weren't canceled after last week, despite what happened with that chicken and the 10W-40. Which is good, because they've got a treat for us today when their hour of power airing live at 2:00 PM EST on Sirius Channel 108. The dynamic duo will be interviewing Reeves Callaway, the CEO and founder of Callaway Cars. So expect them to be all over Reeves for access to a media fleet Corvette-platformed C16 and a first-talk on any other toys he might be playing with back at either his Connecticut office or the highly precise German digs. If you've got questions for Reeves leave them in the comments and we'll make sure Spinn gets them before they go live. More »

Six hundred and sixteen horses worth of Callaway Cars' C4 LeMans race car technology is now available with fine German leather. The first production version of the Callaway C16 platform debuted at Montreal's Palais des Congres for the 2007 Montreal Auto Show this week. (The pre-production version was announced at the LA Show last November.) The law of demand led the company to offer its C16, which clocks 200 mph, posts a 10-second quarter mile, and comes with a five-year/100,000 mile warranty backed up by your local Chevrolet dealership (all that and mileage ratings of 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway). All this orangey goodness starts at slightly under 120 large. Full release and specifications after the jump. – Mike Bumbeck More »
