Could you imagine blasting by a new ZR1 with that, at over 200mph

If it's faster than Will's 95 Lingenfelter Twin Turbo ZR1, it's be scarey.

Good reminder for the C5 and C6 folks of what a true superior C4 is.

Thank you for posting that. I'd never seen that before however I was fortunate enough to meet Reeves Calaway just two months ago at a local chevy dealer who had become a Calaway distributor. They had a couple of calaway supercharged C6s and were letting members of one of the local corvette clubs take them out for test drives. There were more than a half dozen Calaway C4s there and he signed everyones fuel rail covers and dash pads.

He was a really nice guy and very easy to talk to.

I saw that car in one of the old car magazines when they made the run. I have tried to find more info on it ever since. I thought it was interesting that in order to get the last few MPH they taped off two of the vents on the front. I think they were vents to push air to cool the brakes or something. You can see it in the video although they don't mention it. Doing that got them from something like 248MPH up to the 254 mark.

VERY cool car...
