ZR-1 Top Speed

Hi Surfnsun,

I respect your opinion, however I stand by mine.

There's talkin & there's doin.

Hib's resume speaks for itself. He's been there & done that way more than any of us probably ever will.

"I know of .... similar to mine" is not the same as a time slip or top time of the day or 1st place in a road race.

We'll just have to agree to disagree as far as what's fact and what's wishing & hoping.

Question here guys, what did Calloway do to get 256 mph out the car he called the Sledge Hammer? I saw it auctioned off on tv at one of those high end auto auctions. They claimed it was totally streetable, and on a C-4 platform. The winning bid was just over 200K. Later 84 CF 91 ZR-1

Here's an interesting read on the Sledgehammer, vettl83:

Come on down to Texas sometime. No bench racing here.

Thanks Jim, do you believe it's streetable with that kind of horse power? Wonder what they did to get that many ponies? Thanks, 84 CF 91 ZR-1

The link posted above references one of the articles that I had read myself. I remember Reeves saying something like "Your mother could drive it to the library" or some similar content. He drove it from Old Lyme CN to the test track, in Ohio, I think. Pretty Cool!! :cool
