There's something about a Corvette that just begs to be supercharged. That's why Chevy blew out the previous ZR1 and why it did the same with the new Z06. And it's also why Callaway has been working on a supercharger kit of its own for the Stingray.
The House that Reeves Built indicated the project was underway when it released a teaser image showing just the hood of a supercharged Stingray back in August. Now it's followed up with a rendering of the whole thing and some key specifications of its blown Vette.
Dubbed SC610, Callaway's kit packs an Eaton twin-vortex supercharger, high-flow intake and stainless steel exhaust to drive output up to 610 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque, which is less than the output of the previous ZR1 (638 hp) or the new Z06 (>625 hp), but substantially more than the stock Stingray's 460 hp. Other features include a carbon hood extractor, special badging and more. Buyers will even be able to specify unique nine-spoke alloys, a coil-over suspension with adjustable dampers, short-throw shifter, upgraded brakes and a full carbon aero kit (not to mention the AeroWagon body conversion to follow).
The result is a 0-60 time quoted at 3.4 seconds, quarter mile in 11 seconds flat at 125 miles per hour and 1.05 g of skidpad grip. We don't know how that compares to the new Z06, but it stands up favorably against the Stingray's quoted 3.8-second 0-60 time. Scope out the details in the press release below and click the image above to enlarge.Continue reading Callaway details new supercharged Stingray SC610
