Default Ran a Calloway Camaro tonight

I was coming home from the mall when I see a black car that sounded mean as hell. I'm like what **** is.... Oh it's a calloway ! I'm kinda of shocked to see one haven't seen one in years it seems like. So we are just kinda cruising next to each other (wanting to race each other but acting like we don't see are hear are loud *** cars) Anyway I roll my window down and say "nice car" & "I was wondering if I could bother you for quick race?" He's like " what!!"(His cars loud but my cutout was open so mines louder ) So I decided to do some universal sign language. I point at his car, point at my car, then point at the open stretch of road ahead. He gets the picture. I try to tell him 3 honks but he just takes off. So i'm like **** it! I attack the go pedal with my size 14, and off we go. I was surpised I caught him(he had 2 cars on me from about a 40ish roll) and passed him. I put like to cars on him to 115-120ish. We didn't race no more, but we did pull over and talk a little. He wanted to know what i did to my car. I told him h/c, stall, ported tb, ported lpe intake, built tranny, headers, cutout etc etc.. He was shocked that he lost. Anyway he was a nice kid(only 16!! dad gave him car for graduating early) nice car, nice kill for me(toot toot) Anyway his engine compartment was hot That supernatural stamp is sick.

Calloway was actual doing lt1 camaro's too. About 6 years ago there were 3 in the San francisco bay area that I would see pretty frequently, A black one, 1 custom painted red, & and a custom painted chameleon. I not sure but i think they are just supercharged with exhaust(about 400bhp) and a nice full body kit. The car doesn't even look like a camaro with this kit. Do a google search on them.

It would have been real real real ugly if i was in that. I've been driving that thing around with fats and skinnies. And a 300 shot !! to boot. I've pulled the tires on the street easily.

Ugly and slow. What does that entire godawefully ugly package manage to give it what 60bhp? what a waste of money.

Callaway you save you some money and just drop a 224 cam in there instead of putting in an entire new engine.

I saw a Calloway Camaro on the 2003 Hot Rod Power Tour. It was silver. The only thing done was a catback, LPE CAI, and STB. There was also a red one that had twin turbos. There was only one twin turbo if i am not mistaken.

"I attack the go pedal with my size 14...."

Looks more like a chrysler front end IMO.

Another good kill, man.

The back end of these cars look like something I have never seen before. Instead of saying Camaro on the back of the trunk lid, they say Calloway. I saw one this year at Sears Point but it was not racing that night. It was a black one. It's just too bad they look like a Sunbird from the front. Seems like it would run better than a 13.1.
