Yes of course I do. I have owned 2 LPE cars (C4 and C5) so I like the heritage but wanted more aggressive this time without spending double the money because now I have 2 cars to modify.

Well, actually, you can - I have owned several Callaway Corvettes. The thing that makes the Callaway relative to any comparison, is in those days, the Callaway was a factory Regular Production Option (RPO B2K - Twin Turbo)

The one B2K I still have, is one of the 68 built that year. There were 510 built from 1987 - 1991. Much rarer that other cars cited. more powerful, too!

For more info on these rare and powerful Corvettes, visit the Callaway Owners Group @ www.callawayownersgroup.com

I love the C12 but do not care for the C16. There is a local Callaway collector around here and they are NICE cars.

I have a 1994 Subaru SVX it's worth about $2500. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's worth anything. People have to want the car. Here's the sales figures on the car. This includes all models and options packages.

1991 1513
1992 3667
1993 3859
1994 1666
1995 1801
1996 1111
1997 640

I daily drive one of 504 Maple Red Metallic T/A Coupes built. Only thing rarer for that year would be either a Foamy or a 'Vert. Never made available on WS6 cars either..

I don't care about value when it comes to rarity. I think your SVX is probably a pretty slick ride, even if insurance and blue book say it's worth only about $2500.

LOL, That's not blue book, that's the average that they sell for. I got mine for $8000 in 2003 with less then 3000 miles on it.

As for a slick ride the addition of a Whipple Supercharger and the entire drive line out for a 2004 STi helps it.

I always did like those SVX's....they were pretty cool and different than everything else on the road...

Yours looks pretty nice. The "upgrades" can't hurt either
