I just did some digging and it appears as you can get a non-aerobody Supernatural. In my digging I discovered that GM reactivated RPO B2K for 2012.
620hp@6700rpm/555 lb/ft@4100rpm torque, these are SAE net ratings using a positive displacement Eaton TVS2300 blower.. The car is validated at 10.9 seconds 127mph in the 1/4 mile. Only 25 B2K's were authorized.

Package costs $52,980.

Learn something every day.

If it did not come with the Aerobody from Callaway it was not classified with Callaway as a CR1. There were quite a few more than 11 combined Supernatural 475's and 490's built motors in stock ZR1 bodys, but only 11 CR1's with the full treatment i.e Aerobody, interior, suspension and exhaust. This is direct from Callaway Sales rep.

Never thought he would sell it but maybe a trade in for something newer changed his mind. I own a 1990 RED Callaway Areobody CR1 Supernatural 490 #10 of 11, which was also featured in Corvette Fever in September of 2010. You have a sweet ride take care of it.

Thanks very much! I have seen photos of your car, it's absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for touching base, I have wanted to introduce myself to you. I have a couple of pictures of that day that you met the previous owner:

I will be in Carlisle in August, looking forward to meeting up!

Re: Forum Newbie, 90 Callaway ZR1 / CR1 Supernatural 475

He traded this car plus a really nice supercharged Trailblazer SS on a new black / black 6-speed ZL1 Camaro. That ZL1 is a gorgeous car!

Sometimes the numbers just work and the transaction takes place quickly, so there is no need to have to advertise, deal with people trying to hammer on you on your price, etc... Sales tax on a ZL1 is pricey too, but only having to pay the difference with trading in these cars i'm sure put a big dent in it :)

Re: Forum Newbie, 90 Callaway ZR1 / CR1 Supernatural 475

In regards to the cams, on the 490 package the cams are different. I infact have the original set that was in my car sitting on my shelf. I was lucky enough that the original owner provided me with all the original parts that were replaced after it went through its transformation.

Re: Forum Newbie, 90 Callaway ZR1 / CR1 Supernatural 475

I finally got the car out to a cruise night last night, had alot of fun, met alot of very nice people (including a forum member!) and the interest in the car was unreal. Cant wait to enjoy it more this summer!

After some people left, I was able to move the car with two good friends who own a beautiful 72 442 and super nice 73 z28:

I still have lots of detailing to do in the nooks and crannies, buffing of the paint (black is tough with towel marks...), and some nick nacks to work on, but i'm having fun!
