Why did this hick engineered utterly buck-break the porsche-jeet and this board generally?

its funny that people still get triggered by this thing. callaway didn't have to make it. most tuner companies don't try to set speed records in their project cars. the few that come to mind are Jun with their bonneville 300ZX, and Smokey Nataga with his top secret supra.

>one-off
>required special tires
>no independent verification, assholes from Callaway took a grain '80s photo of a digital display and claimed they did 254 MPH

>>28459727
and the buck stays broken.

>>28459727
it doing 254 MPH isn't really up for contention, anon. stick to your other points.

>Not even road-legal anymore
>good luck sourcing any of the other custom parts if something breaks

>>28459703 (OP)
They never even made more than one lmfao, it's not even an actual production car kek
You'll get that through your thick skull one day. Still a neat car

>>28459749
Callaway will make and sell you the parts, assuming you're the lucky only owner of this car. Also since when was it not road-legal anymore? Genuinely curious, did something change?
>>28459797
Technically it was a fully complete model for what was going to be a line of production models, however $400,000 wasn't exactly palatable enough to make it reality. That's not why people seethe at it though.

Five
Thousand
Miles

they never made more than 1 Mclaren F1 prototype with modified gearing and removed rev limiter, but people like to pretend you could just hop into any F1 and do 240 in it.

>>28459797
And the owner thought it was so amazing he drove it a grand total of 5,000 miles over the course of 20 years

Literally who cares about some souped up trailer park shitbox?

>>28459803
Per hour

>>28459908
per 20 years

>>28459703 (OP)
Why should anyone care about a 1of1 modified car?

Look at me everyone I'm a normie retard who fawns over modded cars I'm such a quirky fanboy!!!

That 12,000lbs winch you bought off ali-express is NOT rated the same as the 12,000lbs winch in the store.

Your torch isn't really 6 million lumens bro

You need to remember that porch owners were already assblasted stock C4s were able to out-corner them in the 80's. The Callaway just completely buck-broke them.

>>28460250
Where is Callaway today?

>>28459802
>$400,000 in 1988, more expensive than a Ferrari F40, for GM plastics

>>28460268
Still modifying Corvettes?

I have no idea what this is.

That's just how top speed claims were done back in the 1980s. I shit you not, there is no independent record of a Ferrari F40 doing more than 200mph in 1987 but Ferrari themselves claim the car can do it.

What was Ferrari's proof? Their word. I kid you not, Ferrari didn't actually provide proof to their claim, they just said it could do 200.

In 1991 Road & Track tested the top speed of the F40 and it topped at 196. However despite this, Ferrari still claims the F40 did 200+.

So yeah just common practice for companies to make up claims of top speed.

>>28461066
Still a tradition over at Nissan.

>>28460618
Was this chinese "testing" done to the same standards as the other tests?
