Point Taken
You have a point but you also have to realized that the Technology is the same in both power plants to some degree.
I do agree that looks are 50% but when Barry's car was made he did not option the LM body package because of the $260,000 upgrade package which did not include the cost of the ZR1. As I understand it the cars you are speaking about cost about half of what the LT5 Supernatural ZR1 cost.
1994 ZR1 Supernatural Twin Turbo
Performance: 0-60mph- 3.2 sec..... 0-100mph- 6.4 sec.
1/4 miles- low 10s over 135mph.
Top end stock - Who knows?
All of this with 12lbs of boost or half what it can take.
This is a monster that looks like a regular ZR1 with front scoops. Yes, it does not have all the charm of the Super Callaways but its one HELL OF A SLEEPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess when I hear someone say that ...."its the baddest car", I think performance first and looks last. So it comes down to what you want. A sleeper or a screamer. Both are good, it depends on your point of view.
While I am thinking, do you want all the info and pics on Barry's car for the "Callaway Owners Group" website? Post me... I can send it along with all the other stuff. I still need you address.
Take care,
Stan
