Hi XTrooper,

I'm going down with the Hardtop section and grouping with Father Larry. Look forward to meeting you there.:wave:

[jason]

I'll be there with my hardtop and hope to meet up with our other forum members. Hope the weather is not too hot. See ya there!:nod:

[DavisZR1]

I plan on going with my Z. Have to register this week.:cool:

[XTrooper]

Well, we'll actually be parked with the other cars in the local Corvette club we belong to, the Hazleton Corvette Club. Hope to see you all there! :cheers:

[FXGS]

I'll be at Carlisle all 3 days, parked in the Callaway Reunion.
Hope to meet all of you

OOPS:banghead: :banghead:

[FXGS]

Yes I do. I have a '96 SuperNatural Grand Sport. It was the 1st Grand Sport built by Callaway. I am the original owner

[DavisZR1]

That's great. That's some collectible! What did you pay for it new? How many were made? Where did you buy it? How much mileage is on it now? Tell us your experiences with the car.:yakyakyak :yakyakyak

[FXGS]

I ordered my Grand Sport from Forbes Chevrolet, Camp Hill, Pa in Oct. '95 & took delivery in Mar. '96. I ordered it with every option, including F45 suspension & torch red interior. It was included in Chip's Choices at Corvettes @ Carlisle in '96 & it was there that I contracted with Callaway to get the SuperNatural conversion. I shipped it to Callaway's facillity in Old Lyme, Ct in Oct. '96 & they had the car for about 2 1/2 months. It was the 1st GS they did & I believe that only a total of 3 GS's where actually done.
The original engine retains little more than the block, as it was pulled from the car & completely redone from the bottom up. Also added to the package where ceramic coated headers, Callaway exhaust system & single mass flywheel/clutch. The dyno printouts from Callaway, with no miles on the SuperNatural engine were 450/450.
I have done numerous further engine upgrades including modified air intake system, modiified/recalibrated mass air flow sensor from Granatelli Motorsports, MSD ignition system & a few other upgrades. I am looking to get the car redynoed to see where it is at now, but so far I have only been able to locate chassis dyno's in my area; still trying to find an engine dyno.
The suspension system also has been upgraded by Guldstrand & the brakes by Baer Brakes.
I have also installed a roll bar, harnesses & other safety equipment as I occassionally do some high speed driving at the road course at Summit Point.
I have the car fully documented as I keep a current notebook from when I first ordered the car. I have receipts for every nut & bolt I have ever purchased for it along with photos and other documentation.
Hope this answers some of your questions & looking forward to meeting some of you at Carlisle

Hi all,

I'm very impressed with FXGS's Callaway. What is your time in the quarter mile? My wife and I will be at Carlisle. I'll look for you and your car. I'm not sure which Vette I'll be taking. My '99 hardtop is real comfortable for the long haul, although, however, I'd love to take my ZR1 also. Maybe I can talk the wife into driving the hardtop.:wavey:

[FXGS]

I'll look forward to meeting you. To tell you the truth, I've never run any timed quarters, all my high speed driving has been done on road courses

[TopVette]

I'm going:nod: :luxhello:

Friday or Saturday. What day will Father & Mike KotZE be there.
