If it's even remotely feasible to make that road legal, I'd daily it just to see the fear and disgust on people's faces.

Callaway, if you're listening - you NEED to bring this to the UTCC. There's plenty of time for development until the next one.

Bonus points if someone wears a dark helmet.

I'm pretty sure that Lord Vader's car is an Impala SS.

Wouldn't Vader drive a Vaydor?

It's not nearly as quick, but in terms of looks it's a perfect fit.

I see Vader cranking Iggy tunes in his 2013 Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition

That vette would be an epic daily. If only there was a way...

He'll drive pretty much anything.

But prefers to drive around in his own head:

Yup

Poor guy.

I thought that Vader would be more of a Venom kind of guy.

That is the best Paul Deutschman (sp) designed Corvette body ever. Never liked the sledgehammer.

What does that make us?

Of course, it's built for the class and rule set, but I think it's great that we live in an age where the super-duper purpose built race car has 50 hp LESS than the street version...

His other car is a unicycle:

Nope. Think more monochrome, more wheezy sounds.

"Vader" does sound rather Swedish.

When I hear "Callaway" my mind instantly races towards twin turbo monsters. This Corvette has 600hp, no turbos, and it took two years to design. I am unimpressed, but I'd still be happy to park it in my driveway. Let me know when you put a turbo or two on this car. Vader wouldn't be caught dead driving a car without a turbo or a supercharger.
