Very nice test between 2 of my icon cars in automotive history : The Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette and The RUF BTR 911 Turbo done by my favorite cynic presentor Jeremy Clarkson. The harder he comments the more he likes a car.

It's almost hard ... By: skaught911. on 26 Jul 10, 22:06:48 It's almost hard watching that Porsche 911 being destroyed, knowing that it's something most of us will probably never have the chance to own in our lives. Seems a bit selfish to just destroy it.
Jeremy Clarkson is ... By: hadabenz. on 23 Jul 10, 11:32:51 Jeremy Clarkson is a world-class car reviewer, remember tough he has been thoroughly reviewing cars for 22 years. Certainly better than all of you haters who file complaints and write rubbish here at youtube. Cheers Clarkson!
@crazyirishdan ... By: adam0900909. on 22 Jul 10, 00:14:48 @crazyirishdan Yehhh, the Callaways top speed is tbh, a complete lie. It was tested once or twice by Callaway themselves and was never officially tested. It did 215 in the hands of test drivers and then as soon as someone from callaway got in it did 254, yeh and im Elvis. Its a shit car no matter what, how can anyone make a 200mph car and leave everything else standard? Thats just lazy and retarded, like the nation that built it

I'll give Jeremy a ... By: crazyirishdan. on 24 Jun 10, 17:24:58 I'll give Jeremy a bye after watching the muscle car episode. He had the look of a child at Xmas driving that ZR1, and it was funny to watch the other guy spend half the trip bitching about the CTS-V not being a 'proper Cadillac' only to affirm that it's the best American car he's ever driven. I was like 'thank God, I was about to start checking for a pulse."
@crazyirishdan LOL ... By: jeianafa12547dj. on 24 Jun 10, 07:12:51 @crazyirishdan LOL you're right
@jeianafa12547dj ... By: crazyirishdan. on 23 Jun 10, 20:31:48 @jeianafa12547dj Clarkson? Facts? Sir...how dare you make such a supposition...Clarkson cares not for facts. He's there to make his British audience feel better about the empire they used to have, and when people actually thought British cars were worth buying. We have plenty of clones of him in the States making apologies for the American cars as well, and soon Japan will have their share. "Toyota SUPPOSED to accelerate whenever it feel like! Car smarter than you!"
Yawn. Be pissed at ... By: crazyirishdan. on 23 Jun 10, 20:28:40 Yawn. Be pissed at Germany and America because they left British car building in the dust before you were even born. The tachs work past the dealer's lot and the door handle doesn't come off in your hand after signing the paperwork (immediately) so they're 'boring'. All of those 'really awesome British cars' just must be too much fun for the rest of the world to care. At all.
Also forgets to mention that the Callaway Sledgehammer beat out the Ruf by about 43 mph.
@sathos Exactly. ... By: NobleM15fan. on 23 Jun 10, 13:21:28 @sathos Exactly. This Callaway Corvette is proof of that. In the old days, most tuning companies would simply put more power in, up the price, and put it on sale. Anyone who's ever driven an Overfinch Range Rover or Shelby Mustang knows what I'm on about.

You could buy a ... By: jeianafa12547dj. on 17 Jun 10, 07:33:34 You could buy a Callaway Vette that would do 250mph in 1988 or what about the 962 Dauer Lemans that also could do that...cars you could buy if you had the money back around the time of this Ruf...they didn't give Clarkson all the facts I suppose
@c4corvette1984 ... By: NobleM15fan. on 11 Jun 10, 09:12:27 @c4corvette1984 This one featured here is the Callaway tuned version. The normal C4 could handle its power; this one can't.
@reeseslover19 I ... By: NobleM15fan. on 11 Jun 10, 09:10:34 @reeseslover19 I just don't think that car's all it's cracked up to be. It may be very fast in a straight line, but that's about it. I saw a film of it being tested, and in the slow corners it was all over the place; it just couldn't get all that power down. It had wheel spin at 170 mph.
The SSC is the faster car on the straights, but all things considered, the Bugatti Veyron is a much better car.
@NobleM15fan I ... By: reeseslover19. on 11 Jun 10, 06:07:51 @NobleM15fan I think the record is for a straight line drag. Same with the Veyron. But good point.
@Tomossj Take it ... By: NobleM15fan. on 10 Jun 10, 14:43:17 @Tomossj Take it you're talking about the SSC Ultimate Aero. Before you reel off a list of numbers, let me give you an interesting fact. It was SLOWER round the Nurburgring than the...
Gumpert Apollo
Dodge Viper ACR
Nissan GTR
To name but a few.
With all that power it should've gone straight to the top.
@Blitz3086 I said ... By: DocWolph. on 09 Jun 10, 01:17:22 @Blitz3086 I said that he liked them, in response to another comment. I never said the cars were somehow perfect. If British customs didn't tear apart the car then stick back together with used chewing gum, maybe it wouldn't have the issues they typically have importing US cars there. Really its the same story every time, the car is bulletproof in America and falls apart in England though not is the rest of Europe. Strange that.
@DocWolph
He sold ... By: Blitz3086. on 08 Jun 10, 13:24:40 @DocWolph
He sold both his FGT's because "its the worst car ever made". But the fact that he likes something, doesnt make the car actually good. He loves Range Rovers, but everyone knows they are built like crap, even the shows knows it.

...for a thumbs ... By: MicrowavedHamster. on 17 Jan 10, 08:49:39 ...for a thumbs down, congratufuckinglations!
I just bought this ... By: gracethedog48. on 19 Jul 10, 15:39:21 I just bought this club recently. I've only hit 1 bucket of balls at the range, and played my first round with it yesterday, and I love it! I'm not getting a big jump in the distance compared to my old driver, but I'm hitting it dead straight almost every time.....the distance will come. It's got a unique sound when hit in the sweet spot, but nothing terrible, like some of the things I've read on here. You will gather some attention when you start hitting it at the range, that's for sure.
His follow through ... By: Gyro911. on 15 Jul 10, 18:21:25 His follow through is wrong for swining a driver. He's coming off his front foot which is an iron swing
dont worry about ... By: cleanerimage4u. on 26 May 10, 00:30:25 dont worry about the vans... your swing looked 10xs better as the """"""local pro""""""""
Yeah, this driver ... By: W4lly16. on 12 Dec 09, 04:13:27 Yeah, this driver is so damn loud especially when you hit the ball hard. I just recently got one and it hurt my left ear; not to mention that i now hit balls out of the range. Everyone at the range was watching me hit, and one person was like, "That kid should be playing with the pros." This driver kicks ass!
They're not. I ... By: qbb01. on 04 Sep 09, 05:54:36 They're not. I thought they were a piece of crap and it turns out my friend bought one. I hit my usual 3 wood 230metres down the fairway but then i hit his driver and it went 250metre carry over the trees DEAD STRAIGHT. I couldn't believe it.
FTi is straight ... By: TheDet80. on 05 Aug 09, 12:42:23 FTi is straight with distance, FT5 is for the golfer who can shape it off the tee. If you aren't single figures, stay away from the Ft5 as you will be kidding yourself. Its built for the draw/fade guys. lets face it, all double figure handicappers want to do is smash it down the fairway, straight. so go FTi....FORE

Ft-5 hits a little ... By: christiancoker1. on 07 Jul 09, 17:29:26 Ft-5 hits a little farther, BUT: The Ft-i is one of the straightest hitters on the market, right below the Ft-iq. GET THE SQUARE!
def not for anyone ... By: sabresfan97. on 18 Apr 09, 01:03:40 def not for anyone who has any talent. only for high handicappers. plus it sounds like a dam cannon, but not in a cool way
i have only hit the ... By: gmezt. on 15 Jan 09, 03:07:45 i have only hit the ft-i at the pro shop but.i have the ft-5 and i love it.
if you need control ... By: GibsonLesPaul15. on 21 Dec 08, 00:24:12 if you need control more than distance than the ft i is better but if you are a better player than i would recommend the ft 5.i went and hit the ft i and the pro at the store told me that the ft i actually decreases your distance by about fifteen yards but if you're a high handicap it's worth it because the ball goes really straight.the ft i has a higher launch angle but the ft 5 goes plenty high. i have the ft 5 and i love it.the ft i is for high handicaps and the ft 5 is for lower handicaps

I played the FT-i ... By: bonezy09. on 27 Aug 08, 02:19:27 I played the FT-i today. My regular driver is a really old big bertha. I slice really really bad. When i hit the FT-I I didnt even slice(maybe once i didnt hit the fairway). The forgivness of this club is outstanding. I would recommend this club to everyone. even over the Sasquatch
Actually it does ... By: spateeight. on 14 Aug 08, 08:58:59 Actually it does sound good . A hell of alot better then the ft-i. I have a friend who changed his ft-i for a cobra.

I just got that ... By: 1tattie3. on 13 Aug 08, 22:36:12 I just got that driver yesterday, its amazing. The sound is superb, the square head really makes sence.
dude i totally ... By: caveman4401. on 10 Aug 08, 00:10:29 dude i totally agree with you, i hate the sound of the new cobras. i was recently in the market for a new driver and i was down between the callaway ft-i 9 degree with a 65 gram graffaloy prolaunch red shaft, and then the cobra l4v x speed...i found the callaway much more maneuverable, more consistent, and farther. ended up getting the callaway :) but anyways, yeah, the sound of the cobras are awful.
i just got that ... By: btag4. on 30 Jul 08, 17:59:41 i just got that driver and its soo loud. im not used to the sound yet.

The smog ... By: colled6. on 27 Jul 10, 05:34:08 The smog regulations have changed dramatically even when the Sledghammer was being built. Why do you think the Veyron cost so much. Better engineering? No. It cost a fortune to develop a car to pass the new Smog regulations in order to be available WORLDWIDE. I'm sure that 90% of the Veyrons cost is wrapped up into R&D in order to meet EPA standards. This is a enourmous cost for any mfg to develop 1001 HP and stay green. GM and Callaway knew this. Some mfg are smarter than others. Case closed.
okay youngers. It's ... By: colled6. on 27 Jul 10, 05:24:45 okay youngers. It's nice to see that at least you have heard of the Sledgehammer. There are also many other cars back in the day that did do 200MPH which was the norm in racing. This is nothing new.
It was new for the Callaway to be the first to do this because it was a car everyone recognized back then. Not even Ferrari could match it. The only othe manufacture that did this was Porsche with the famous 959. Thes cars set precedent for new cars NOW.
why did this car ... By: gamer1st. on 26 Jul 10, 18:32:32 why did this car never make production.awesome achievement for the day,an today come to think of it.

@adam0900909 True.. ... By: Toolmybass. on 25 Jul 10, 17:05:42 @adam0900909 True....The drive drain on the Bugatti is engineering genius
@Toolmybass I ment ... By: adam0900909. on 25 Jul 10, 16:05:59 @Toolmybass I ment the engine and drive drain could handle it with performance to spare. All these 1000bhp potential engines have horrible reliability when they are pushed. Im prepared to bet its the same story here. Yes they drove it to and from the track, but that only used about 20% of the engines potential, it means nothing. This is the cheapest of cheap vodka compared to the Bugatti's 30 year old cognac. You still get he same results but ones so much.... more.
@Toolmybass On top ... By: Toolmybass. on 25 Jul 10, 05:19:08 @Toolmybass On top of that the Bugatti is 1.7 Million and a tire change is gonna cost you $25.000
I could put $25,000 into a good ole 2010 Vette which would kick the Bugatti in every aspect. (except luxury) with roughly $1.57 Million left over

its pretty annoying ... By: 88jjdecay. on 23 Jul 10, 23:05:08 its pretty annoying when kids cant believe fact. Just fucking understand its all recorded and has a bunch of proof, what more do you need?
22 years later and ... By: dony7777777. on 23 Jul 10, 02:38:15 22 years later and people are still jealous of this 255mph HYPERCAR! Stupid childish FANBOYS who will never be respected. BIG RESPECT to Callaway though : )
@bdrans68 Nooo... ... By: adam0900909. on 22 Jul 10, 19:42:38 @bdrans68 Nooo... open YOUR eyes. This car never held any world records and is largely unknown in the world of cars. If it really could do the speeds they are claiming it would have been a phenomenon. But no. Probably because they didnt want everyone testing it to try and match the speeds they quote. Because it wouldnt do them. Think about it, if you had a car that could do 254 you'd be shouting from the rooftops about it. These guys weren't and kept it relatively quiet.
@adam0900909 i'm in ... By: joshpardee24. on 21 Jul 10, 21:58:25 @adam0900909 i'm in the same boat as you. you hear all about this car but there really weren't any tests other than Callaway on the car. If they did it in 1988 why can't they do it with a newer Corvette?
@adam0900909 Dude ... By: bdrans68. on 21 Jul 10, 18:38:22 @adam0900909 Dude to have those speeds at that time is VERY good.... Open your eyes... sigh
@joshpardee24 ... By: JesseDanielHimself. on 21 Jul 10, 14:13:56 @joshpardee24 That's true. But still, better ten than none.
Sorry Callaway, no ... By: adam0900909. on 20 Jul 10, 19:36:19 Sorry Callaway, no world record. Im sorry but a Veyron is so much more car than this. A Veyron will sit at 250 all day, fuel not included. The Mclaren F1 and Veyron are much better engineering marvels than this will ever be. Also, somethings fishy here. Test drivers get 215ish out of it, and then suddenly it does 254. Right. Absolutely no verification of any kind from any outside sources. Anyone else smell that?
@JesseDanielHimself ... By: joshpardee24. on 20 Jul 10, 06:36:37 @JesseDanielHimself ya some, but that may be 10 dealerships out of the 1000 in the united states.
@joshpardee24 ... By: JesseDanielHimself. on 20 Jul 10, 05:32:56 @joshpardee24 Actually, in some videos from Callaway regarding their modern 'Vette, they state that you can go to SOME dealerships and order one.
@Tboninator totally ... By: joshpardee24. on 20 Jul 10, 02:22:03 @Tboninator totally agreed, callaway is no relation with gm, if they were you could go to any chevy dealership and buy them but you can't
I hate how this car ... By: ThePOWNSTARS. on 19 Jul 10, 19:51:55 I hate how this car is always overlooked in peoples countdowns of the top 10 or 20 fastest cars, it is the 2nd fastest car of all time, and no one knows that.

Go back and look at the comments, fool. My "story" has not changed. The car was taken straight from the production line to Callaway, an independent tuner, and modified. That alone makes it not a production car, but you still need convincing, so, Chevrolet had no hand in developing the Sledgehammer, and any warranty work on Sledgehammers done by dealers was reimbursed by Callaway. Contracted for what? To allow GM dealers to promote Callaway? That is totally irrelevant to discussion

The slice is virually gone due to the lower spin rates and I reckon I get about 5-10m more flight. I have the 8.5 degree tour version. The ball flight is high but it keeps going. Best driver I've ever hit.

It's almost hard watching that Porsche 911 being destroyed, knowing that it's something most of us will probably never have the chance to own in our lives. Seems a bit selfish to just destroy it.

Jeremy Clarkson is a world-class car reviewer, remember tough he has been thoroughly reviewing cars for 22 years. Certainly better than all of you haters who file complaints and write rubbish here at youtube. Cheers Clarkson!
By: adam0900909. on 22 Jul 10, 00:14:48
@crazyirishdan Yehhh, the Callaways top speed is tbh, a complete lie. It was tested once or twice by Callaway themselves and was never officially tested. It did 215 in the hands of test drivers and then as soon as someone from callaway got in it did 254, yeh and im Elvis. Its a shit car no matter what, how can anyone make a 200mph car and leave everything else standard? Thats just lazy and retarded, like the nation that built it

I'll give Jeremy a bye after watching the muscle car episode. He had the look of a child at Xmas driving that ZR1, and it was funny to watch the other guy spend half the trip bitching about the CTS-V not being a 'proper Cadillac' only to affirm that it's the best American car he's ever driven. I was like 'thank God, I was about to start checking for a pulse."

@crazyirishdan LOL you're right
By: crazyirishdan. on 23 Jun 10, 20:31:48
@jeianafa12547dj Clarkson? Facts? Sir...how dare you make such a supposition...Clarkson cares not for facts. He's there to make his British audience feel better about the empire they used to have, and when people actually thought British cars were worth buying. We have plenty of clones of him in the States making apologies for the American cars as well, and soon Japan will have their share. "Toyota SUPPOSED to accelerate whenever it feel like! Car smarter than you!"
By: crazyirishdan. on 23 Jun 10, 20:28:40
Yawn. Be pissed at Germany and America because they left British car building in the dust before you were even born. The tachs work past the dealer's lot and the door handle doesn't come off in your hand after signing the paperwork (immediately) so they're 'boring'. All of those 'really awesome British cars' just must be too much fun for the rest of the world to care. At all. Also forgets to mention that the Callaway Sledgehammer beat out the Ruf by about 43 mph.
By: NobleM15fan. on 23 Jun 10, 13:21:28
@sathos Exactly. This Callaway Corvette is proof of that. In the old days, most tuning companies would simply put more power in, up the price, and put it on sale. Anyone who's ever driven an Overfinch Range Rover or Shelby Mustang knows what I'm on about.
By: sathos. on 23 Jun 10, 10:42:48
@NobleM15fan power isnt everything unless you only want to travel in a straight line.

By: jeianafa12547dj. on 17 Jun 10, 07:33:34
You could buy a Callaway Vette that would do 250mph in 1988 or what about the 962 Dauer Lemans that also could do that...cars you could buy if you had the money back around the time of this Ruf...they didn't give Clarkson all the facts I suppose
By: NobleM15fan. on 11 Jun 10, 09:12:27
@c4corvette1984 This one featured here is the Callaway tuned version. The normal C4 could handle its power; this one can't.
By: NobleM15fan. on 11 Jun 10, 09:10:34
@reeseslover19 I just don't think that car's all it's cracked up to be. It may be very fast in a straight line, but that's about it. I saw a film of it being tested, and in the slow corners it was all over the place; it just couldn't get all that power down. It had wheel spin at 170 mph. The SSC is the faster car on the straights, but all things considered, the Bugatti Veyron is a much better car.
By: reeseslover19. on 11 Jun 10, 06:07:51
@NobleM15fan I think the record is for a straight line drag. Same with the Veyron. But good point.
By: NobleM15fan. on 10 Jun 10, 14:43:17
@Tomossj Take it you're talking about the SSC Ultimate Aero. Before you reel off a list of numbers, let me give you an interesting fact. It was SLOWER round the Nurburgring than the... Gumpert Apollo Dodge Viper ACR Nissan GTR To name but a few. With all that power it should've gone straight to the top.
By: DocWolph. on 09 Jun 10, 01:17:22
@Blitz3086 I said that he liked them, in response to another comment. I never said the cars were somehow perfect. If British customs didn't tear apart the car then stick back together with used chewing gum, maybe it wouldn't have the issues they typically have importing US cars there. Really its the same story every time, the car is bulletproof in America and falls apart in England though not is the rest of Europe. Strange that.
By: Blitz3086. on 08 Jun 10, 13:24:40
@DocWolph He sold both his FGT's because "its the worst car ever made". But the fact that he likes something, doesnt make the car actually good. He loves Range Rovers, but everyone knows they are built like crap, even the shows knows it.
By: heartboy86. on 04 Jun 10, 20:13:53
@c4corvette1984 you right,my uncle's friend has an 89 vetter and it handles better than Clarkson is describing it,I guess its true what ppl say,this show is mainly entertainment
