CorvetteBlog was honored to drive the famed 2011 Callaway Corvette SC606 this week!  Callaway Corvette dealers gathered for their annual Dealer Summit in Pahrump, Nevada, and we were there.  The site of the Ron Fellows Driving School is a fabulous venue for an event like this.

Besides the thrill of driving the Callaway Corvette, we also received sportscar race training and saw upcoming Callaway product.  Perhaps the biggest excitement came with the reveal of the 2011 Callaway Silverado 1500 SC540 and SC450 Sport Trucks (see photos below).

If you enjoy driving "Seriously Fast," consider a "Powerfully Engineered" Callaway Corvette, Camaro, or Tahoe-Suburban-Silverado Sport Truck.  Serious inquiries are invited at 1-888-875-0728.  More photos follow the jump.
