Hennessey’s ZR1-powered Camaro hits the track (+video)

January 25th, 2010 by NZV8

Hennessey Camaro HPE700 fq

What happens when you drop a Corvette ZR1-sourced supercharged V8 tuned to output 705 horsepower into the engine bay of a Chevrolet Camaro? You have one crazy fast pony car. Add performance parts from American tuner Hennessey to keep all that power focused on the road and you’ve got a vehicle worthy of a lap video on NZV8.

The team at Hennessey wanted to make sure that their modded Camaro is worthy of its hefty price tag, so they decided to test their high-powered beast on the track. Tough job.

Check out the video of the HPE700 LS9 Camaro as it takes on the road course at MSR Houston, USA.

Does anyone have any clever ideas how I might work that out?Statistics: Posted by Lizard — […]

In this month’s issue we have a jaw-dropping ’79 Chevrolet C10 pick-up cover car, it has a flawless interior and comes packing a 383ci small block Chevy engine. Other feature cars include a ultra-rare Buick GS and a unmissable Torana LX with a blown 406ci engine and a tough stance. We travel over the ditch to check out the Motorex 10 car show, and get down to Palmerston North for the big annual swap meet. We show you a brilliant home-built ’79 Camaro with a 550hp factory big-block engine and stick shift. We also get up close on a 2005 Ford GT endurance racer and see just what makes it so special. We also have a special article giving advice on how to modify your ride to really stand out from the crowd.
