2010 Callaway SC-606
Does the car have headers?
"We brought the example you see here -- a 2010 Callaway Corvette outfitted with the SC606 package and other baubles unrelated to making power -- to a Dynojet 248 chassis dyno in order to see how much power it puts to the ground. Power rose with each pull and then reached stabilized for a few pulls after which heat soak started to erode output slightly upon each subsequent run. What you see here is the stabilized output. SAE weather correction was 2%. More than 500 lb-ft is on tap from 3,100 to 5,400 rpm, and the peak of 516 lb-ft arrives at 4,300 rpm. Peak power totaling 565 horsepower is delivered at 6,500 rpm, right before the fuel cut. It's the kind of stout and flexible powerband that can only be produced by boost plus a lot of cubes. The Callaway Corvette went about its business on the dyno without making a fuss, and the soundtrack is delivered at a sane volume. It's as though Callaway has had some time to hone their craft in developing these cars. As for the actual power, it's certainly producing what Callaway claims, and probably a touch more. In this business it's better to err on the conservative side.
If, y'know, a 600+ horsepower Corvette with a hood blister that looks like a giant scarab beetle can be called conservative."
