The Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette wasn’t just a car—it was a statement. With 880 horsepower, twin turbos, and a top speed of 255 mph, it proved American engineering could dominate the world.

I'd like to get the exact specs on that motor, and put it together into a standard Corvette with the suspension upgrades and see if it could take back the record of worlds fastest street legal beast. I'm sure there's quite a few enhancements to parts for that engine, so it might be a little easier to get that power out of the engine. Better heads, intake runners, and injectors would help and that's just off the top of my head.lol.
I love my 2001 C5 Millennium Yellow Vette but this C4 is a monster
And, drove it back to Connecticut. His son now run the company. RIP
Now that's just American muscle. WOW…
Heck yeah!
Absolutely Love that Gorgeous Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
255!
When we made cool stuff
I couldn’t buy this one but I did buy a 1990 c4 zr1. Would have loved for Callaway to build that motor
I need one
Surprised i never heard of it…i guess it sounds like there was only one…thats probably why
Small block
Ummm…. Buick GNX? Just sayin
Name a car that can exceed 200mph? The majority of people name a Bugatti Veyron first, sadly beasts like this are forgotten about and rarely remembered or even heard of here in the uk. Technology has leaped forward but so has the complexity. I really love these older rule breaker cars.
AND with A.C! Fkn Corvette BEAST!
20 years later, bugatti needed 8 more cilinders with 2 extra turbos just to get 2 MPH more than that vette. LoL.
This is a funny thing that happened to my mother in law in the 80's. Before I met my husband he had a salmon colored Corvette and her car was in the mechanic shop so she had to drive her son's Corvette to the grocery store. She came home with groceries kind of shaken up driving that much power.
The red one is one of the cars Don drives in Regular Show. It's the most famous sports car of the 80's.
Thay made something like that but was a firebird from the 80s.
Nothing can beat it
