We were just talking in another post about how the general public hasn't got a clue what a Callaway TT is. Well I took my car out for a local cruise night last night. (Granted it is sponsored by the local Corvette club so the knowledge factor is probably slightly higher about Vettes in general.) Before I even backed into my spot I had a few people gathering. As soon as I stepped out of the car the first guy says to me, "Is that a Sledgehammer?". I laughed and explained to him that there is only one and it was offered once for $400,000... but this was the next best thing. My car is a Silver Aerobody so it even looks somewhat close with the hardtop on. So I can respect that he knew about it... even knew it went over 250mph. Actually quite a few people did recognize the Callaway name and wanted to know, "Is it a real one?". (Are there fake ones? It's not like a Cobra clone.) Also- "How much did this cost... must be a lot!" "How fast is it?" "How much horsepower?"
A really interesting thing is that the young import contingent seemed to be most interested in the car. I spent a lot of time talking to these young guys and they really like the car. I think they can relate to it because it's turbocharged and that's what they're into... not just turbocharged but twin turbos! That seemed to really intrigue them.
So, all in all I had a great night. I'm out there spreading the word and knowledge as an ambassador for Callaway's everywhere.
Now if we could just get Lou to take his out of the garage!
