Callaway Sledgehammer

What is the actually top speed of it, or has it not been determined yet?

The car toped out at 254.76 MPH. this is a Street driven car with AC, radio and goodyear tires rated at 300mph. For $700,000 you could have one to! I have driven this car twice. it is located at the National Corvette Museum right now. I will try to take some pics soon. :o

Cooll! I didn't really think this car was that real, I thought it was a one off that had a guess top speed, but thats awesome! Car must have some massive power when you stomp on it. I'd love to see some pics of it sometime also.

Hey NCMR8CMan@af, do you have any quality pix of classic Vettes? I've spent ages looking for really proffesional pictures of C2s.

carmaster: I will try to get some pics tomarrow when I see it.

Lizard: I can get some of the cars in the Corvette Museum to take some pics for you. I will see if i can get them tomarrow if the weather is good. I will try to get a pic of a 1963 grand Sport worth 1.5 Mil.


here is a quick shot that that I have....

Yeah, its a great car. I believe it still holds the tops speed record. Edging the Veyron by a couple mph..

Wow. I would love to see something like this done with a brand new Z06.

Take a peek at this then...

scott, if you didn't notice, he works at the corvette museum...

the price is the current value at the time of the thread...

nice car...

Ok, W/E all i know is i got an in argument over if it went in production or not. I knew what it was worth. Just didn't know that there were enough made to sell thats all.

Dang it bowtiebandit. I was going to post that site too. :mad: Oh well you beat me this time...

Sorry Scott...:)

scott...
assuming he isn't lying, and he works at the vette museum, they may have one/the only one there...

so that would make sense...

It some what does. I thought it seemed odd when he said you can own one for $700,000. Or thats the price to have one special made......

anything is for sale for the right price...


im sure you could buy something from the musuem if you offered enough money...

Does anybody know where this car is currently located. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I know that is is NOT on display at the NCM right now, or at least it wasnt' a few months ago when I was up there for the 50th.

Sorry I couldn't help too much...
