Callaway->ke19 has a strong fascination with modifying Chevy->ke199 vehicles, be it the Corvette,->ke1280 Camaro,->ke248 or even pickups->ke242 and SUVs->ke145 like the Silverado and Tahoe. Some of the more notable cars include the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28 SC652, the 2014 Corvette Stingray GT3 by Callaway, and the 750 horsepower, 2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 by Callaway.

As was the case with the 2016 Z06, Callaway didn’t waste any time coming up with a tuner package for the 2016 Chevy Camaro. And, that is why I’m here to introduce you to the Callaway Camaro SC610 – that’s right Callaway already has a program to pump up the output on the brand-new Camaro. If you’re like me, the first thing you want to know is what Callaway did to achieve the power bump, and just how much it’s going to tax your wallet.

Of course, I’ll go over all the details of the upgrade, and we’ve even got a few good pictures too. So grab yourself a tasty beverage and prepare yourself for a nice gentle read as we take a journey down the page to see what makes this Camaro so special.

What makes the Chevy Camaro SC610 by Callaway Special

Don’t expect your Camaro to roll out of the garage looking different than it did when it went in. In all honesty, Callaway didn’t do a whole lot to spruce up the look of the Camaro. The only standard change is the exterior badging that designates it as a Callaway SC610. You could opt to have a set of Callaway nine-spoke, FlowForged wheels installed at a premium, but that is the extent of exterior modifications – unless you count the standard carbon fiber engine covers with the SC610 emblems.

Callaway was focused mainly on drivetrain upgrades for the new Camaro, so – much like the exterior – there isn’t much in terms of interior upgrades. Callaway did add its badging to the interior of the Camaro, new door sill panels, and Callaway embroidered floor mats. The SC610 also comes with special Callaway key fobs, and authenticity documentation. Outside of that, the Camaro looks just like it did when it rolled off the production line.

The standard Camaro SS comes with a 6.2-liter that produces 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. With the standard 3.73-inch rear end, the Camaro SS can hit the 60 mph sprint in just four seconds. These figures, despite how good they are, just wasn’t enough for Callaway. So, at the heart of the SC610 is a 2.3-liter GenThree supercharger system with a TrippleCooled intercooler system. That supercharger system, in conjunction with Callaway’s high-flow cold air intake system brings the Camaro up to 610 horsepower and 610 pound-feet of torque. That is an increase of 155 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque over the standard model. Callaway has yet to elaborate on performance figures, but I would expect the SC610 to hit the 60 mph in 3.7 to 3.8 seconds.

In addition to the engine upgrades and minor upgrades to the interior and exterior, the SC610 comes with a three year, 36,000-mile warranty. Other options include Callaway factory delivery, a Callaway Camaro car cover and an additional five year, 60,000-mile limited powertrain service contract. All told, this really isn’t a bad package. If I was going to have a Camaro, I would certainly rather have one that pumps out more than 600 horsepower. But, how much does the SC610 cost?

Unlike some tuner brands, Callaway is pretty good about releasing its pricing structure when it releases information about its tuner programs. For the SC610, the package starts out at $54,290. That price includes the Camaro and all of the standard equipment listed above. If you already own a 2016 Camaro and would like the same upgrade, Callaway can hook you up for $16,995. If you’re interested in getting your hands on an SC610, you can do so by contacting Callaway, or going to a California-based Chevy dealer that partners with Callaway.
