Default Quick question on Callaway equipped base C6

I know a guy that just bought a base Callaway C6. It has the Callaway hood, Z51 and polished supercharger. He claims this is a $100,000 + car in 2006 and 650 hp. Did Callaway have a 650hp base LS2 package? I can't find a 650 anywhere.. I can see a hot Z06 with those numbers, but a base without H/C, headers, etc?? Am I off on this? He is claiming huge victories on Ferraris, GTRs etc..... I was thinking H/C and headers for my car but maybe I need to pick up one of those Callaway superchargers

There was a 616 hp package but not a 650, but it included head and cam work. Callaway never installs long tube headers. Price would depend how it was optioned.

In 2006, we offered an SC616 package which I know one of our customers who owns one, routinely "races" his son, who has an F-car, and easily outruns him.

Our current offering, the SC606 has more torque than our earlier offering, and still outruns Ferraris

We would encourage you, or anyone interested in Callaway, to test-drive one of our cars (or trucks) and see for yourself the power and drivability which our vehicles deliver.

Schedule your drive @ www.callawaycars.com

Thank you

You can reach those same numbers easily a number of ways.

There are a number of superchargers that will give you 600 engine horsepower. Turbos will do the job also but cost more. You don't need to do anything else other than bolt on a supercharger or twin turbos to get this kind of hp out of this car.
