The Callaway C16, based on the C6 Corvette, is the road going version of the GT3 racing car and is the second Callaway Corvette to be built by Callaway. The C16 is marketed as an alternative to the Porsche 911 GT3, the Lamborghini Murciélago, the Ferrari F430 or the 599 GTB and is offered in three different body style, Cabrio, Coupé and Speedster. It was unveiled at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show in 2006. The car is sold with a host of options and like numerous supercars, it offers carbon ceramic braking systems and semi-automatic paddle-shift transmission.

A production Callaway managed a best of, 187.95 mph (302.48 km/h). As Callaway wanted to take the record further into 250 mph (402 km/h) with the car being docile during traffic, he developed the SledgeHammer Corvette, to allow airflow into the engine, he commissioned Paul Deutschman of Deutschman Design to develop the Callaway Aerobody for stability.

Overall engine power was rated at 898 horsepower @ 6200 rpm with 772 ft·lbf (1,047 N·m) of torque @ 5250 rpm. The car retained its road car amenities such as power windows and locks, Bose radio, electronic air conditioning and, power sport seats with all necessary race car modifications such as roll cage. Driven by John Lingenfelter, the car reached 254.76 mph (410 km/h) mph at the Transportation Research Center, Ohio and was driven back to Old Lyme. The Aerobody would become commercially available this would become the first of tis partnership with Deutschman, in which he also designed its later models such as Speedster, SuperNatural, C7 and C12.
