Anyone familiar with 87 Callaway Twin turbo VETTE?

[RatFink]

I've always wanted a Callaway twin turbo vette. The 86-89 ran 10psi of boost stock, and did like 13.15 @ 108 mph on pump gas. I bet you could throw one of Julios Alky kits on there and turn up the boost to 15psi and run mid 12's.
Anywhoo, just dreaming, I found one on e-bay that is sweet with only 12K miles. The price has to be off though, no way it would sell for less than $20K in that nice of original condition IMO.

Make a fun daily commuter car.:devil:

I have a magazine article and have seen the video of the GNX vs the Callaway at a dragstrip. Good article and the grainy ideo is pretty cool. GNX was the clear winner IIRC.

Yeah, the hood was actually functional from what it looks like. The design was kinda old in 87, I remember the "Greenwood Daytona Twin Turbo hood" from about 1981. Got Roller skates and a disco ball?:clap:

I believe those NACA(yes,NACA) style scoops first appeared on the Pontiac Grand ams of 1973-74.

Lamborghini used the NACA ducts as well.

Ja_son,

While I'm not a fan of the Espada, every car-loving kid growing up in the late 70s & early 80s had a Countach poster on their wall! Whippersnapper! :wheelchair:

The countach rocked it out in Cannonball run!

My brother owns #1 of 3 1996 Callaway 450hp supernatural Grand sports. It has acouple 1 of parts on it an sounds killer. Callaway keeps up with the owners of their cars an records everything.

 

[RatFink]

Wow! That's a sweet GS. Has he ever ran it at the track?

 

[Quiky One]

[tta299]

I stand corrected...sort of as those were kinda of raised at the leading edge of the hood bulge
