The Callaway Company had much success in the ’80s with its versions of the Corvette C4 with heavily turbocharged engines and ridiculous performance. However, Reeves Callaway wanted to go racing and, in the early ’90s, introduced the Super Speedster LM. This was the ultimate version of the race-prepared Corvette C4 with a turbocharged LT5 V8 engine and 766 hp on tap (via Supercars).
