Default Amazing Passat W8 vs Corvette ZO6 Video

It's just crazy to even start compare NON-PRODUCTION cars to
production cars.
What was the Callaway Sledgehammer's Production run?
5000? 1000?, 50?
Actually in its own category, the Sledgehammer Corvette is very slow,
even electric cars in the NON-Production category are faster

Even Street Legal Cars are much faster.

Since you're bringing up cars that aren't even production, I'll do one
better.
My souped up Volkswagen Nardo W12 does 306 MPH in Grand Turismo 4,
take that Sledgehammer Corvette.

Sal what is the fastest you have truly driven a car, not a video game but a
real car???
I am not talking about running moms car up to 90 and then ****ting your
pants and letting off
but realy driving a car at high speeds...

I thought that was hilarious too. Now this pitiful little dribbler thinks
his car is a penis extender.

WOW

That W8 is so good you can't even buy them in the USA any longer. All
the production must get sucked up in Europe, huh?

Any reason why the race didn't pit a new W8 vs a new base C6? No, I'm
sure not.
