    i've read a lil bit about it, and from what i remember, it never made it to production, but lingenfelter said that they could reproduce it (at that time, dun remember when i read it) for $400,000. now, i have no idea... pretty impressive numbers.
    im curious tho as to if it ever reached 254.8 since the number seems to be exacted, or if its just hypothetical number.

    For some reason it reminds me of a Nissan from the front...

    It looks like it may sit lower than stock, I'd say it probably handles better than he thinks.

    And it's a professionally done job. I doubt they would overlook handling when partaking in such a project.

    Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

    Yes it did, and it was driven to the test track.

    crazy
    I think it was first production car to reach over 240mph
    but i've like 20 TV shows that all talked about it, i'm pretty sure it's pretty well known

    This car, and other Callaway Corvettes were in the old Road & Track Exotic Cars magazines that came out quarterly. I used to own all of them and I remember reading about that one, and a chop top roadster one too.
