Default (Picking up where we left off) Pair of ZR1 Corvettes in the shop (actually, three)

(The third one is the LM Speedster with over 755 hp) In this pic, you can see the Series II Callaway Speedster with 755 horsepower, which was built over 25 years ago... Picking up where we left off, we've got the new Callaway ZR1 model under development. More details, as available

info@callawaycars.com

755 hp (Callaway) ZR-1 from the C4 era (Twin Turbo LT-5) in background (Series II SuperSpeedster). Stay tuned for more, as the C7 Callaway ZR1 will pick up where the C4 Callaway ZR-1 left off...

Default HP not from the Sledgehammer?

https://bringatrailer.com/2017/08/14/one-of-10-speedsters-1991-corvette-callaway-twin-turbo/

These were sold through GM?

ZR1 Speedster news to me!

The Sledgehammer was around 900 HP?
