New '12 Z71

So this Hoe is now Supercharged???

Consider my interest peaked!!

That is a sweet ride! This may be a dumb question but what is the Callaway for? Is it like a Saleen Mustang?

yes, they made their mark with the corvette and are now offering superchargers systems for tahoes, burbs and silverados. Paul Masse chevorlet has done up a few different Callaway's including an Avalanche, Corvette, Camaro and my Tahoe. I hear they sent a black Z71 for the whole package including black chrome rims after I bought mine. I will take a picture when it comes in.

Very impressed with the overall package so far, smooth and plenty of power.

Sounds like you have a pretty rare Tahoe! I remember reading about Calloway vettes when I was a kid in Car and Driver

You are my new HERO !!

Someday,someday.

All you need now is a BB tune. Or does it already come tuned? I love the truck but hate seeing it b/c it just makes me want it and reminds me how much better your truck is than mine lol.

Thanks for the complement, not sure what a BB tune is but it was tuned by Callaway including larger injectors, custom airbox and Callaway exhaust. My wife described the exhaust sound perfectly, saying it sounds similar to a inboard boat exhaust. I think it has a nice rumble with a little back pressure sound like a gurgle. "freakin sweet" was term used from a bystander at D&D this morning to describe the exhuast...

a supercharged z71, that’s a cool idea... I’m thinking that was a 20k investment

unfortunately the only return on my investment is going to be the smile on my face....

Just returned from a 6 hr road trip she purrs along at highway speeds...

Some updated pictures, wasn't crazy about the sliver bumper so we painted it to match the truck. While we had the paint out we sprayed the brake calipers.

GM needs to take the hint from a few on this board and ditch the silver on the bumper. Colormatched with the aluminum skidplate looks way freaking better.
Nice Z71 btw!!

Nice but why no BBK? I would imagine with a supercharger I'll be speeding all the time. Lol

 

[Sheriff]

Was it originally a Z71? It has what I call the Z71 front end.

Did you buy it new or used?

 

[felixgun]

Looks so much better color matched.
