I pee on the ZL1. DOHC V8 was the worst decision cost wise GM made with the Corvette
But the Sledgehammer was a production car the same way the Bugatti/McLaren was. They made a couple of them

I could strap a solid fuel rocket to a gutted CRX and hit 700mph in 4 seconds. No one cares.

Tomahawk is driveable, just not at that kind of speed. Unless you are worlds strongest man Magnus Ver Magnuson. They sold a few I think. And as a quick little side note, as-purchased, the Veyron cannot hit 250+...

GM rapid 1909
GM's Oldsmobile Aurora engine platform was successful in open-wheel Indy-style racing throughout the 1990s, winning many races in the small V-8 class. An unmodified Aurora V-8 in the Aerotech, captured 47 world records, including the record for speed endurance in the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
