Hennessey LS9 Camaro

Looks pretty cool.

Quote:

Following in the footsteps of such legendary Camaro tuners as Yenko Chevrolet, Hennessey Performance Engineering has unveiled the HPE700, which mates a standard 2010 Camaro SS with the supercharged LS9 V8 from the Corvette ZR1. As if that engine alone weren't enough, HPE has tuned the LS9 to produce 705 hp and 717 lb-ft torque. That should make for an awesome pavement pounder in the quarter-mile, or else a neat way to scorch the earth and create mushroom clouds of tire smoke.

Other performance goodies include 15-inch carbon ceramic brakes cribbed from the ZR1, upgraded suspension bits and HRE alloy rims shod with Michelin PS2 rubber. HPE chose not to leave well enough alone in the looks department, either. The HPE700 has inherited the controversial see-through hood from the ZR1, along with a body package that includes a full carbon fiber ground effects kit and a unique front fascia with faux-hideaway headlights and a billet aluminum grille. We like it, you may not.

The HPE700 is a lot of car, and to help drivers reign it in, a 1-day performance driving course is included in the asking price of $109,500. The first orders will be accepted next week to registered bidders at the Barret-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ with regular orders being taken the following week. See the rest of Hennessey's official details in the press release after the jump.

I thinks its a mystery in the same level with pyramids...

First with vettes and then with vipers and again with vettes at corvetteforum.com and there are people actually who do business with this guy..:willy:

I guess there are suckers a born alot since last time..

Nice concept, too bad it is being built by that guy... it will probably have numerous problems and the usual lack of follow thru and customer service!

Looks killer! :thumbsup:

Not even touching that with a 10 foot pole

ive been into vipers for a while.ive had 5 of them over the years.ive read alot on the vca and viperalley about JHP.i simply would not buy from him .

Agreed. I haven't owned a Viper yet but have gotten close to buying one one more than one occasion and spent time on those forums researching and asking questions. Anyone with a clue or has done 5 minutes of research will go to Heffner or Underground before Hennessey.

Buyers beware of this Camaro.
