What is a corvette callaway ?

Today at work i saw a corvette callaway, which had a body kit with various modifications to the origional vette body (new front and rear bumpers, tailights, etc.) It was a 4th generation vette, but what exactly is under the hood ? i thought it might be a turbo charged tpi or somthing, can anybody tell me a little about the Corvette Callaway ?

Callaway is sorta like Shelby or Yenko. They mainly deal with Vettes, but they do some pretty kick@ss Camaros and TA's also. There is a guy in the local Vette club where I live that has a 4th gen Callaway Vette it is bad @ss. Another guy I know has a Callaway Camaro it is awesome too. The only bad thing is that a Callaway cars are too expensive.

This one at Carlisle involved a new body kit, wheels, complete color change to silver, and stainless cat-back.

They made a Twin turbo Porsche 928 which made over 800hp and if I remember correctly it was either this car or THIS car...

....... that holds the top speed record for a street car
