Based on the Z06 manual transmission fixed-roof coupe, this Callaway Corvette
packs 652 hp with the help of a supercharger. It is priced approximately the
same as a standard ZR1, however, it has 14 more horsepower, it is faster and it
is more exclusive.
The 2013 Callaway Corvette SC652 is built by Callaway Cars Incorporated and sold
through selected Callaway/Chevrolet dealers. This is the 17th major automotive
project undertaken by Callaway.
Callaway Corvette SC652's Rear Spoiler
Optionally available, the Carbon Rear Spoiler is a key component, developed from
the knowledge gained in Callaway's GT4 race program. According to Callaway, it
is a genuinely effective part that is a good solution for street and track, yet
stops short of an actual rear wing - the only thing that would be more
effective, but perhaps overkill for road use.
The rear spoiler produces 125 lbs of downforce at 200 mph. This is accomplished
by having a slightly higher kick, 13mm more, than the Corvette ZR1 rear spoiler.
The effective parts of the spoiler are the outer ends; the middle part remains
low to minimize drag - not to mention that the center position of the spoiler is
"aerodynamically hidden" by the coupe's back light.
