twin NACA hood ducts, Dymag wheels and Callaway badges. Thanks to
the conversion, horsepower jumped from the stock 205 to 345 and torque jumped
to 465 lb.-ft. of torque. Top speed was just shy of 180 mph.
Once the car was completed, it was shipped to the ordering
dealer and delivered to the customer. Just how much did all this extra performance
cost? On top of the base price of a 1987 Corvette coupe ($27,999.00) the Callaway
option added an
additional $19,995 to the sticker, along with any other options the buyer checked
off. Chevrolet even warranteed the engine. Callaway built 184 B2K Corvettes
in 1987 (121 were coupes and 63 were roadsters). When the L98 engine was retired
at the end of the 1991 model year, that was also the end of the Callaway option
as well. All told, Callaway built 497 B2K conversions.
