It is the Sledgehammer!!!

[callaway4fun]

Well just a quick note I was at Callaway Cars today and to my surprise The SLEDGEHAMMER is there. Myself, Chris, Megan, Tony, and his wife Nellie got a heck of a tour of the SLEDGEHAMMER. Pictures that you would not believe total access to the fastest production car. We took tons of pics They put the car on the lift and we again took tons of pics. We also got to sit in the car. WOW Well I am sure Chris will post some info and some pics on Wednesday.

We also got to sit in the car. WOW

Been there I sat it it while it was at the NCM. It was off the show flow and I got the royal tour.

Glad you guys saw it and had a good time.

Low miles

The car is not driven very much . It only has1982 miles on it. They are getting the car ready for the auction. Eric I posted that I was going up to Callaway for the meeting with them about the upgrades.

I was a bit surprised at how low the mileage is... That is one serious machine!!!!!

The footwells are a bit narrower than normal, as the pan was tailored for the unique turbo housings :cool

This is definately a car that fits :BOW

Johnny, I know a few folks are talking about witnessing this historic event - The Sledgehammer is still owned by Reeves Callaway.

C6, TBD, Will advise after the new year (I am a hands on person and need more than pictures & words) Hope all they say is true about it :cool

As it turns out, after a little investigative work, the new owner of the Sledghammer and the other 3 exotic Callaways lives about 20 miles north of me in Evergreen Co.
Some friends of mine know him and are getting me a chance to come over and take lots of digital images of the collection. He has several Lambroghinis, a stretch hummer and several other corvettes in his collection.
I will post picts and stats as soon as it comes together.

Side tabs behind the pilar were to keep the rear hatch from blowing out of its seals :eek

I wish I could buy a set of those tabs... Taking the GS down the autobahn at 160-175mph wind does rush in around the seals. I thought the hatch glass was going to fly off the first time I heard it.
