2010 Callaway Camaro SS SC572
www.callawaycars.com/las/CallawayCamaroLiterature.htm
Corvette tuner extraordinaire Callaway has turned its attention to the Camaro. The 2010 Callaway Camaro SC572 is supercharged, of course, and an obvious challenger to Hennessey's HPE550 and SLP's ZL575.
The starting point is a familiar one. Callaway takes the SS model's 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and fits an Eaton TVS2300 roots-type supercharger and a liquid-to-air intercooler, plus a less restrictive intake and exhaust, and higher-flow fuel injectors. Said injectors have carbon fiber covers.
Claimed horsepower is 572 at 6,400 rpm. Claimed torque is 541 pound-feet at 4,000 rpm. And with the stock six-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, Callaway projects 3.9-second 0-to-60-mph capability, plus an 11.94-second quarter-mile at 119.5 mph. And if you never do a burnout, the company estimates you'll get 15 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway (down from 16/24 on a stock Camaro).
The price for all this (including the carbon fiber door sills you see here) is $16,990 and you're covered by Callaway's 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty. If you want the nine-spoke wheels or upgraded brakes shown here, that'll cost extra. Other extra-cost items include coil-over suspension (with or without adjustable dampers), a short-throw shifter, a peek-a-boo hood (er, "Power Window" hood) and a chrome-coat engine cover.
