Default So I was driving into work today... and I saw this *PICS*

A Callaway C12 Corvette






Here is the track car it was based from for those who do not know...









Was pretty weird but cool to see actually on the road. About 3 miles from work is a car collector who has a couple of semi haulers for his cars, two MASSIVE buildings just packed with TONS of rare cars. Been meaning to go by and check them out if the owner will let me.

I remember when my dad had his C4...I must had been only 8 y/o or so, we went to some big vette show in the Woodlands and there were Callaway's and ZR1's everywhere...haven't really seen either of those since then.

Looks like there might be a projector in there and the big sealed beam looking thing could be high-beam.
