If there’s one thing that the team at JN Chevrolet loves more than the powerful Camaro, it’s one that’s been modified to be even more powerful. Enter Callaway Cars. A specialty car manufacturer, Callaway Cars has decades of experience working with Chevy engines–you might know the company from its Callaway Corvettes–and in mid-February, it’ll be coming out with the Callaway Camaro SC600.
The biggest of Callaway’s changes to the standard Camaro is its super-charged engine, which makes it capable of producing as much as 600 horsepower. Of course, the size of the supercharger necessitates a cutout in the hood, but that turned out to boost power even more (not to mention giving it a cool look). As owner Reeves Callaway said:
“Once you open the underhood, you let a lot of the trapped heat escape so there’s a natural convection that happens. As the vehicle starts to move down the road, the airflow over the top of that opening, augmented by a little gurney or aerodynamic lip that we mold in to the opening, extracts a tremendous amount of heat from the engine compartment. That’s a win-win situation.”
And according to Callaway, it turns out the Camaro doesn’t take much modification to get to the SC600’s level of power, saying, “The platform is very capable,” as the company doesn’t need to change suspension, brakes or tires. “The 2016 Camaro is a superb car that’s light, nimble and fun to drive.”
The Callaway Camaro SC600 is only available at a few dealerships across the country, but don’t let that damper your enthusiasm for taking a gorgeous American muscle car out for a spin.
