Interesting and humorous read ……Vacek I hope you get your C8 “Supercharged” from Calloway.
I would however recommend confirming with your insurance company the “new” premiums you will be experiencing post supercharging your Vette as they certainly will be higher, if they chose to keep you on as a customer.
In speaking with my insurance company this spring when taking my Vette out of winter storage and returning my insurance to full coverage the agent I was speaking to seemed very interested in my car. So I mentioned it had 650 hp and that it was supercharged. She asked if I modified the car to which I stated “no”. The next day I received an e-mail requesting/demanding the original “Bill of Sale” from the dealer where I purchased my now five year old car, which I ordered new. Intuitively I questioned the insurance agent, asking her if the fact that I mentioned that the car was supercharged now tweaked her into thinking I was untruthful regarding modifications to the car? Based on this belief, rather than going through the trouble of obtaining and submitting the original Bill of Sale I provided photos of the “Window Sticker-Build Sheet” of my car with direction for her to inspect the Build Sheet which would confirm the fact that the car was supercharged at the factory.
This satisfied the agent and she backed down on the request for the original Bill of Sale, but my intuition was 100% correct, being she felt I had modified the car and was attempting to withhold that information. Too bad the agent simply didn’t look into the actual factory specifications of a 2019 Z06. Had she done that, she would have seen that the car came equipped from the manufacturer supercharged and in doing so she wouldn’t have left a sour taste in my mouth due to her negative/false insinuations of me. Its a good thing CAA offer good rates!
Oh, and failure to notify your insurance company that your car has been modified, in the event of an accident they can nullify your claim!
