Via Carscoops-

Available for order now, the Callaway SS begins by adding an Eaton Roots-style supercharger system and a low restriction exhaust, which along with some other upgrades under the hood, allow the 6.2 liter V8 engine to produce an estimated 570-horsepower and 535 lb-ft of peak torque, up from the stock naturally-aspirated version's 415hp and 415 lb-ft respectively.

The supercharged V8 is linked to a 6-speed automatic driving the rear wheels, with Callaway quoting an estimated zero to 60mph (96km/h) sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile run of 12.4 seconds at an exit speed of 110mph (177km/h). GM says the factory model does the standard sprint in about five seconds, so that's a significant improvement !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and its SS.

Other tidbits of lesser importance include special Callaway badging inside and out, embroidered floor mats and a unique key fob. The base supercharging package starts from just under $23,000.

What say you Oppo...Callway SS for 67 grand or pick up a pre-owned E63 or M5?

I like the looks; it's much better off with the Callaway badge than with the Chevy badge.

$23K over base and still no three pedal option? PASS. And don't gimme that 'It doesn't come that way from the factory' crap, because it's badge brother the Commodore can be had with three pedals.

The SS is more generic in styling than the new Genesis Sedan.
