Camaro enthusiasts in
Canada have a new vehicle to fawn over in the form of the Callaway Camaro
SC630. The most powerful variant of the current Camaro, the ZL1, costs in
excess of US$ 70,000 in the Great White North, but for less money, the Callaway
SC630 is available from GM dealer Wilson-Niblett Chevrolet in Richmond Hill,
Ontario.
The SC630 is based on the entry-level
Camaro LT1 and adds a twin-screw supercharger and a high-flow intake system to
the muscle car’s 6.2-liter LT1 V8 engine. As the name of the package implies,
this boosts output to 630 hp and 827 Nm of torque, significant
gains over the 460 hp and 617 Nm of torque of the standard model.
In the United States, prices for a
Callaway Camaro SC630 start at US$ 52,990, significantly less than the US$ 63,995
commanded by the Camaro ZL1. While Canadian pricing for the Callaway hasn’t
been announced yet, GM Authority notes that it shouldn’t be much different than
in the U.S. once converted into Canadian dollars.
Admittedly, a Camaro ZL1 features various
other performance-focused modifications that the SC630 lacks, but if all you
want is straight-line performance, Callaway’s upgrade package will probably do
just fine. What’s particularly noteworthy about Callaway’s SC630 package is
that it does not void the Camaro’s standard factory warranty. Not only that,
but it also comes with its own three-year/36,000 mile factory warranty for all
the Callaway parts and components.
