Callaway Cars Releases Their Most Powerful Corvette
757 bhp / 777 lb-ft
Z06-based Corvette upgrade boasts 32% larger supercharger, triple
intercoolers, and consistent power - lap after lap
The Numbers - Callaway Cars today announced power numbers and
performance for the flagship model in their performance car lineup.
Equipped with Callaway’s GenThree Supercharger, the Corvette Z06
now produces 757 bhp @ 6,200 rpm and 777 lb-ft @ 4,500 rpm (SAE). A
launch to 60 mph is now achieved in 2.8 seconds, and a quarter-mile
in 10.5 seconds at 131 mph.
Why Go Big, When You Can Go Bigger? - Size Matters. To reach that
power (which is up from 650 bhp / 650 lb-ft) the supercharger itself
needed to be bigger since the output of a positive displacement
supercharger is proportionate to its size. The Callaway GenThree
supercharger is 32% larger in displacement (2300cc vs 1740cc).
Cooling - Callaway engineers recognize that a key contributor to
maximizing power is reduction of inlet air temperature associated
with forced induction. Callaway’s unique triple-element intercooler
configuration provides significantly lower and well-managed inlet
charge air temperatures than single or smaller dual-element designs.
The supercharger housing extends through the hood, thereby exposing
it to outside ambient airflow and adding an element of convective
cooling. The supercharger is visible without opening the hood, and
heat is inherently extracted from the engine compartment.
Bold Packaging - The supercharger assembly is no longer cramped below
the hood line. The completely redesigned manifold helps maintain
consistent charge air temperatures with exceptionally low restriction
and even airflow distribution to all cylinders, which results in a
broad torque band producing over 500 lb-ft from 2,000 to 6,400 rpm.
This translates to more consistent power delivery in severe-duty
driving environments, a compromise typically observed with
“underhood” approaches. A 10-rib drive pulley system was also
integrated to prevent belt-slippage.
Patents - The technical features of the Callaway GenThree
supercharger are significant enough that utility and design aspects
of the system have been awarded patent pending status through the US
Patent and Trademark Office.
Competence - 35 years of experience, compliance and warranty. All
Callaway cars are assembled to precise engineering specifications by
expert technicians at Callaway facilities, exclusively. Callaway
provides the most comprehensive standard warranty among all specialty
manufacturers. All Callaway cars are also fully emission-compliant.
Additionally, there is an optional 5 year/60,000 mile Extended
Powertrain Service Contract on all 2016 models.

ShortThrow Shifter, Callaway Sport Exhaust with Double-D Tips,
Embroidered Car Cover, and National Corvette Museum Delivery.
All Callaway Corvettes are prepared to Callaway engineering
specifications by expert craftsmen in Callaway's Connecticut and
California factories. Callaway Corvettes are sold and serviced by
Chevrolet dealerships across North America that are members of
Callaway's Authorized Dealer Network. Callaway staff also works with
prospective buyers who are not located near Callaway Authorized
Dealers to facilitate delivery, maintenance, and warranty service.
The Callaway Corvette Z06 Package price: $16,995.00 with vehicles now
in production.

Since you've rated the power as bhp, we're gaining about 100 HP over stock? Also, the performance increases seems miniscule and not worthy of spending almost $20K. An intake, headers and a tune will get those results for under $4K. Am I missing something?
I know there's a cooling system, warranty and bigger belts and it's awesome quality, so for those with tons of cash, why not, but for me it just doesn't seem like a lot of bang for the buck.

You can get 100hp from an intake, headers and a tune, not sure about that one. Plus any yahoo can bolt parts on a car. Also don't forget the better supercharger that isn't spun to the begeezus to make boost.
Since you've rated the power as bhp, we're gaining about 100 HP over stock? ... Am I missing something?
Yes, respectfully, you have missed a few of the points mentioned above. Our new supercharger, designed from a clean-sheet, is an engineering workhorse, packed full of features. I've re-outlined them below.
Also, we are very familiar with what else is out there, and some of it is vaporware, sprinkled with unicorn dust. The fact of the matter, is we, as a specialty manufacturer, develop our power different than the tuners.
We use SAE Testing Protocol, which allows us to compare to manufacturer's data. Others use rear wheel dyno graphs, in a standard corrected factor, and extrapolated to meet an objective. We hear "correction factors" of 15%-25% for supercharged engines all the time, which is just not accurate.
We hope this helps to answer your questions on the differences between not only our offering for the Corvette Z06, but also on the virtues of our new supercharger.
Q: How does Callaway develop its horsepower rating? Engine dyno or rear wheel? A: In order to establish advertised power ratings, peak horsepower and torque are recorded during Callaway production prototype testing in the SuperFlow engine dynamometer cell at Callaway’s Old Lyme Connecticut facility. This testing is performed using the same processes and data correction procedures as used by GM, per SAE specification. Consequently, Callaway’s values can be compared directly to GM’s advertised power ratings for unmodified trucks.
Q: Why do Callaway cars and trucks out-perform other vehicles with higher advertised horsepower? A: As indicated above, Callaway’s power validation is performed using the same processes and data correction factors used by GM, per SAE specification. That allows direct comparison to other cars and trucks. Some other companies use standard corrected figures to allow them to advertise higher numbers. Some even use entirely un-scientific ways to determine their products’ advertised power rating.

were the 1/4 mile times done on z07 option tires or regular z06 tires?
107hp/127tq over stock should be about 75rwhp/90rwtq over stock. I was hoping that would put the car at least into low 10s at mid to high 130 range for a8 or mid 10s at mid 130 range for m7
were the 1/4 mile times done on z07 option tires or regular z06 tires?
over 100 more hp and over 111 more torque id for sure think would get this car into low 10s or high 9s.
Thank you for your interest. M7 was the spec. Perhaps w/ sticky tires and well-prepped track, it may go even quicker. Our SC606 for example was advertised at 11.0 @125, but we ran 10.8@128, then drove 200 miles home

if manual went 10.5@131 and stock 10.9 to 11.1 from 128 to 130 got about 1/2 second. z07 tire or regular z06 tires???
Looking forward to what a auto car runs because if a stick went 10.5 then a auto should go 10.0 or crack 9.9999
