If I had a million dollars...

No, I wouldn`t buy you a K-car, a nice reliant automobile...

I`d buy this:

I just find these things so amazing. Callaway sure knows how to make beautiful modifications. The intercooler shroud is gorgeous. There`s a stock-bodied one they made out there somewhere, that`s the one I`d really want.

Just thought I`d post it up in case anyone else ever found them as lovely as I do.

Cams, valves and turbos! You just have to love it!

I love the engine and drivetrains in them. However, find them to set a new precedence for putridity on a production performance platform.

I hate to rain on your parade, but I would be wiser with a million dollars. I`d spend it on hookers and blow.

:LOLOL at the Barenaked Ladies reference! Great song!

That Saleen 7 in the new issue of Motor Trend looks pretty damn good....

A friend of mine in college used to play that song full blast in his dorm room.

Meaning you don`t like the aerobody? I think it`s pretty cool, though I`d rather have the sleeper standard-bodied one they made.

Yup! The only thing it needs is a roof!

I can`t stand the aero body. Callaway drivetrain in the standard body would be tits.

I`d still eat kraft dinner, just more of it

. I`d go for a F430 or the older 360 :2thumbs: .

Were the windows purposely chopped down? Or is that just a show thing and an example pic?

That`s what makes it a Speedster. The chopped top and windows. They were much pricier than a regular Callaway or Aerobody. It first was just a "Speedster", a Callaway Twin Turbo with the chopped top. They were like $150k I think, compared to maybe $90k for a loaded up Callaway Twin-Turbo with an aerobody. I believe they made around 11 of those.

Then the "Super Speedster" was sort of the ultimate. Callaway made two of them, the one seen here and one with a LeMans body (and one regular twin-turbo ZR-1). It was a twin-turbo ZR-1 that made around 750hp (vs. 450hp for the Speedster). If I recall right, these were closer to a quarter million. They were each pretty unique. The regular bodied one was the real scorcher, though. With an adjustable boost controller, it could make about 1,100hp on 100 octane gasoline. I`ll try to find a picture. I believe it was blue and looks stock except for the wheels and the holes in the hood for the intercooler.
