Hi, I thought everyone would be interested in this article from a now-discontinued UK car magazine called "Fast Lane" The article shows a European perspective of one of the rarest and fastest US musclecars ever. I have a feeling that it's unlikely that any US Callaway or Corvette enthusiasts may have seen this magazine article.
Please be patient the filesizes may be a little large (80-95k per page) but I wanted the text to be legible.

I just found the magazine, which I bought 12 years ago, in the attic so apologies for the condition of the copy which is a bit dog-eared. I've also found another copy of the same magazine from November 1988 which compares the Callaway to other modified European exotics: Lister Jaguar XJ-S, Ruf Porsche Turbo, and Lotec Mercedes 300CE.
The magazine managed a top speed of 193 mph from the 390 hp Corvette in that test, which knocks the socks off the European cars (!!!)
As soon as I get a chance to scan this it will be posted! ENJOY THE READ!!!
