$400,000 callaway

[91callaway]

i just noticed it on callaway's web site. its gorgeous but $400,000.
i dont think so. i would love to have that hood though.

 

[corvettecrazy]

are you talking about the super speedster???

 

[*89x2*]

Someone mentioned that they thought the bodywork bill alone was well over 200k :eek I would imagine the motor, suspension, etc quickly made up the rest

From what I understand, Reeves thought the car ought to be priced higher than is currently is - being one of a kind and all



...for $189.00 you can buy this one

 

[TurboLuigi]

That car is raw power and style ;worship

What would a one off super Lambo go for?? I think it is properly priced (and might even agree with Reeves), just way out of my personal price point.

BTW, Have you seen its performance numbers according to Stan?
0-60=3.2 sec, 0-100=6.1 sec

The Sledgehammer by comparison is 0-60=3.1 sec, 0-100=6.1 sec

but for that $$$$ you could almost get 3 lingenfelter twin turbo C5's. I guess I would rather have one( or 3) of them.

EDIT: then again one would get tons more looks in that. I guess it would depend what i gelt like getting at the time

Interesting comparo - I can see how since both are TT's, they could be comared to a point but really they are for two different target groups.


A few weeks ago, I saw an LPE TT - the Yellow one from Motor Trend Magazine - looked Bone Stock other than the wheels and a few decals on the doors.

LPE TT-->

Callaway Le Mans bodied Super Speedster -->

and a SuperSpeedster engine TT LT5 :eek

Luigi - Wanna go 1/2's on that car?? :Silly
I better stop, before I find myself sleeping out in the garage:duh

 

[corvettecrazy]

i dont know if any of you remember the article in Motor Trend where they compared the LTT to the Blue Angel figher jet.

i would take that TT, and just add some body mods to it to make it stand out.

You are on a forum where we live and breath twin turbo Vette's - of course we pay attention to the other guy's products

I was talking to a guy at a Vette show (From MD) and he is on his 3rd LPE TT engine variation - never satisfied I suppose... Anyways, He added the LPE Bodywork (Silver) a while ago as well.
I would have to think he is quickly nearing the asking price of the Callaway C7 for sale and could certainly have had Callaway TT 89-010 and then have an even nastier car

Now, you are taking notes on all this for your future Callaway, right

-enjoy

 

[corvettecrazy]

heck yeah this is all going in for my future ownership, if i didn't want one I wouldn't belong to this forum.

my dream would be to have a TT(probably Callaway), a stock one, and a daily driver(beater)

You are talking about three DIFFERENT Corvettes, Right:confused

 

[corvettecrazy]

yes, if my "dream" house/ garage combo comes true the house will be the size of the garage and the garage the size of a normal house. i know it sound extreme, but I have to dream big and hope most or some of it comes true

 

[TurboLuigi]

CorvetteCrazy, swapping the size of the house with the garage is an admirable goal but not a practical one.

I have a 3 car garage + a 3 car carport. We have 6 vehicles in our household now and I have had the #2 spot for a Chevy SSR (since Jan 01) which is due in Oct/Nov. I brought up the SSR to my other-half the other day and nearly ended up in the dog-house (as I was supposed to add a screen enclosure to the pool). Oh well, I know MY priorities...

:cool

 

[bill mcdonald]

What scale is that model?

For 189.00, I would hope the hood vents could be a tad bit more detailed.

Is that your model 89X2?

 

[*89x2*]

Bill, not my model - I agree - it could be a bit more detailed.

$400,000 seems a little high for that car.

Rob - that is for the one of a kind Speedster LM Bodywork (I heard over 200k just for that alone - before paint :eek )
And then the TT LT5

Wish she was in my garage

Like i said.. to much!!! sorry... I don't see how that body work could cost $200,000 I think the lambo body is all carbon fiber and you can get one of those for like 250,000 300,000....

But you wouldn't have a car that is "one of a kind"

That car must be a wild ride - head turning??? How about neck snapping when it goes by
FWIW, The SuperSpeedster without the roof has a thoretical top speed of 300mph < I suppose it is drag limited without a roof
