the ZR1X, but 40 years ago
>>28928301What's so special about this that makes you obsess endlessly over it?
>>28928632He's autistic.
>>28928301>one built ever>was driven a grand total of 5,000 miles in 30 years Yes I'm sure it was great that's why nobody ever wanted to build more of them and nobody ever wanted to actually drive it...
>>28928301Benchracer final boss.Great car for videogames and forum posting. And maybe for collecting.Poor choice for using IRL.Maybe it needs a youtuber or rich guy to buy it, fix it, and drive it. Rob Dahm??
>>28928301Nah, that thing was only really usable in a straight line.
>>28928679Cope.The reason people didn't build them is because the C5 vette released shortly after. No point to build up the previous gen (especially because boomers didn't want the previous gen around long so they sold em at bottom dollar)
>>28928867>The reason people didn't build them is because the C5 vette released shortly after.OK so if that's really the reason more don't exist then why didn't they do this same thing with the C5?
>$400,000 in 1988, more than actual supercars>no independent verification, just some crackhead's photo of a speedometer
>>28928873They do? Are you that blind or just out of touch with all the cracked C5 vettes?
>>28928679They did build more of them, the production B2K Aerovette. It just made half the power when tuned for reliability on pump gas.
>>28928301Reminder that if these>>28925851>>28925843>>28926778are trucks then the callaway is a hyper car. Europeans can't build trucks.
>>28928763>Great car for videogamesYeah it was fucking sick in PGR4 where it was a straight line speed minmax GOD for its class.
>>28928944These are proper trucks though. Callaway is an abomination.
>>28928981>going faster than any european hyper car of the time is an abomination because it makes me asshurt???
man this is a really specific blend of schizophrenia and autism
>>28928632>>28928992>>28928635Raped by Corvette, Brown Son
>>28928992That's /o/ in a nutshell as a whole
>>28929004there's definitely a lot of kooky characters on this board
>>28928987Only you are asshurt because nobody in the universe cares about your meme car
Why does the C4 cause anal leakage in every Poorsche owner? Did the meaty stick of Chevrolet really do them in that badly?
>>28928992All catered around a car that was produced in a single example that may as well be a concept vehicle. You can drive one in PGR4 or something, but otherwise the Sledge is basically vaporware in car form.
The McLaren F1 was much faster
>>28929286that version was even more vaporware, non production modded non sense than the sledgehammer ever was
>>28929060yet you keep coming to these threads to complain about how much you don't care.>>28929286No F1 has ever gone above 250 like the callaway.
>>28929130it can't be vaporware if it actually ran, drove, and completed its top speed run. you could build a twin turbo corvette yourself and reach those speeds.
>>28928867And the reason nobody ever actually drove it?
>>28929320same reason nobody drives european hypercars.
this guy got mindraped by euros
>>28929287except it was the production model and they made more than one of them.
>>28929390Had to go fact check, the McLaren F1 XP5 prototype, which was faster than the standard production model by ~10mph, hit 240.1 mph. The Sledgehammer hit 254.76 mph. The XP5 was not available for sale to the public.
>>28929321Because it's shit?
>>28928867It wasn't the C5, it was the ZR1.
>>28928632What's so fucking special about the McLaren F1 or the Yellowbird you faggots always obsess over?
>>28929436If you had the money, you could actually buy and drive them
>>28929445Sure and they would be just as unimpressive today.
>>28929454Why don't you post your car, anon?
>>28929403fact check all f1s could go faster than the sledgehammer
>>28929490
>>28928301im still wiating for the pickup version
>>28929561>he doesn't know
>>28929561How'd ya miss it? While it didn't have any top end speed it was the fastest accelerating production vehicle in the world.
>>28929577tried to buy but they refused to include all 8 cylinders something about compressed farts instead
>>28929445the sledgehammer was put up for auction and has exchanged hands. you could buy and drive it.
I love how Europe needs a purpose built hypercar to compete with a golf club hauler with a bodykit and a couple turbos. Funny how that's still the case 40+ years later lmao.
>>28929532the Callaway never went 255
>>28929908you're right, it went 254. so it was 14 mph faster than the modified F1 instead of 15.It was also 1 MPH faster than the Veyron in 2005.europe did not build a single road car faster than the callaway until 2010 with the Veyron Super Sport. the callaway sledgehammer was truly the most radical hyper car ever built.
>>28929939>It was also 1 MPH faster than the Veyron in 2005.imagine believing this
so basically a modified corvette beat a modified f1?who cares?
>>28929968What is there to believe? VAG quoted the Veyron at 253, which is 1 mph slower than the Callaway's 254. According to VAG, their own car is slower than an 80s corvette.>>28929970europeans do. they get so upset over this and move the goalpost in all directions.
>>28929983If it wasnt for you, I would have forgotten about it a long time agoYoure just being an annoying faggot spamming your piece of junk everywhere
>>28929992I'm not even OP. i didn't make this thread. given how talked about the callaway was at the time and even now, it stands to reason this legendary tuning company has more than 1 fan.
>>28929983the callaway never went 254
>>28930004denial is the first stage of grief. i know, I've been there. I used to think the Veyron was the fastest car in the world and that it was scientifically impossible for any non VW to go faster. then when a friend of mine showed me an american car that did in fact go faster (wasn't even the callaway), the first thing i did was claim it was fake, because VW's marketing had me believe it was scientifically impossible for anything not engineered in Europe to go faster.you'll move past that stage as i did.
>>28930008I feel sorry for you
>>28930009>i feel sorry for people who think for themselves, i'll just let AI hallucinate reality for meoof
>>28930020ai is smarter than you tho
>>28930033it isn't, it is in fact, just as slow as you and europe's modified hypercars that it is listing as "production".
