Still effetjes that brain to work on the Sunday night.
Already at a young age was I, the undersigned, addicted to racing games on the PC. On an angry day home burglary where the geboefte the computer with them. I thought that was still up there, but that h*fters had the cable of my superfine Thrustmaster steering wheel of your pregnancy. About crossing the line spoken…
Fortunately there came a new steering wheel and there was a free game called Sports Car GT. You know, probably not, but it was a very solid game with good physics and a fine pair of circuits. In addition came that game out during the heyday of the FIA GT racing and one of the cars was the thing that you are looking at now: the Callaway C12.
Callaway you probably know as a tuner. It will, therefore, be little surprise that this C12 is based on the Chevrolet Corvette C5. The goal was to base this car a Le Mans racer that could compete in the then GT2 class. This was the block (third generation LS1) tuned to 440 healthy and atmospheric horsepower. 0-96 km/h lasted for four counts, the top speed was 310 km/h.
The street version of the C12 was in a limited edition of 25 units were built, and only the greenhouse was 1 on 1 taken from the Corvette C5. All the other was made suitable for racing. The wheel arches in the broader carriage were filled with a few fat 19 inchers, springing and damping were developed in house. This costs money, and so were those cars out the door for about 200,000 USD a piece. Considerably more than a Corvette!
What concerns me is the appearance is also better than that of the C5, but that should be any good for itself determine.
