HENNESSEY PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING ANNOUNCES LIMITED EDITION 705 HP LS9 POWERPLANT FOR THE 2010 CAMARO


Extreme Performance Makeover Transforms the 2010 Camaro from Muscle Car to Super Car!

SEALY, TX - Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), well known for their extreme performance sports cars and muscle cars, announces their Limited Edition 2010 HPE700 Camaro.

At the heart of the beast is GM's new LS9 supercharged V8 tweaked as only HPE could to 705 horsepower and 717 lb-ft torque. To qualify as a supercar under the HPE banner it can't just go, it has to whoa. With optional 15 inch carbon brakes from the stunning new Corvette ZR1, light weight HRE wheels with Michelin PS2 tires and full suspension upgrades the HPE700 Camaro will be able to make full use of its new found power.

In addition to the power and handling upgrades., Hennessey will also be offering an exterior aerodynamics package to improve downforce at high speed. Penned by British designer, Steve Everitt, Hennessey's Cam-Aero ™ body upgrades include: Carbon fiber rear lip spoiler, carbon fiber side rocker panels, carbon fiber front splitter, front fascia with hideaway-look headlights and front billet grille. Completing the look of the HPE700 is a ZR1 inspired hood design with window showing off the Hennessey's tweaked LS9 powerplant.

"The HPE700 Camaro allows our customers to combine supercar power and performance with classic American muscle car looks in a modern, daily-drive usable sportscar with a backseat and a trunk!," said John Hennessey, President and CEO of Hennessey Performance Engineering. "We will be announcing other Hennessey turnkey vehicle packages for the 2010 Camaro in the near future along with an extensive list of aftermarket performance parts and accessories. But for now, the LS9-powered HPE700 Camaro, replete with ZR1 inspired looks and performance promises to be at the top of the American muscle car food chain later in 2009.

HPE700 buyers will also receive a 1-day performance driving course at Lonestar Motorsports Park - a ¼ mile dragstrip facility located adjacent to Hennessey's 24,000 square foot production facility and showroom.

Hennessey is offering the first HPE700 Camaros exclusively to registered bidders at the 2009 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ. Orders can be placed at the Hennessey display at the show or by phone or email beginning Tuesday, January 13 through Sunday, January 18, 2009. On Monday, January 19, 2009 the HPE700 Camaro will be available to the general public and can be ordered from select Chevrolet dealers as well as directly from Hennessey Performance Engineering.

Base price for the 2010 HPE700 Camaro is $109,500.

Located just west of Houston Texas at the Lonestar Motorsports Park complex, HPE has been building American supercars for nearly two decades with its Veyron-beating Venom Vipers, Ford GT's and recently released Dodge Challengers.

Simply WOW!
Good,let him rip off the GM guys for a change.
OMFG! Where's our stimulus package?
Ohhh WOW. Now THAT is what you call a CAMARO!!!
Isn't that just a rendering? wonder if it will actually look like that.
cool, not interested. Would rather have a car that will preform less from someone with a better customer rep. Good luck to him.
boy do they know how to make a good looking rendering!!! just wish it worked as said....

Doubt it.... looks like somebody just photoshopped a bunch of ZR-1 parts and features onto the Camaro. Honestly, it looks like anybody with enough coin could make this happen on their own and not involve JH in any way---everything looks to be exactly from the ZR-1.

I agree with everything you said except the last sentence.... I dont know how anyone could wish him good luck after what he has done!

Same old story with this guy.... like there arent going to be a ton of shops out there shoe-horning Corvette drivetrains into the Camaro. Big deal..... call me when he comes up with something from the ground up and doesnt steal parts from other people's cars to make it happen.... let alone talk smack on the internet to people.

:doh:

after all the bad press im surprised hes still in business
I have heard tons of rhetoric on how bad JH is. Can someone point me to a thread with information supporting that?

Or is smack talking all there is?

Not picking a fight, and not supporting them, just looking for a little "proof".

Took me 30 seconds to find this by googling "Hennessey horror stories"

You're kidding, right?

Not rhetoric, just plain facts ALL over the place, Google his name and you'll come up with the laundry list of lawsuits, settlements, etc. Then search the Viper-related websites, there's horror story after horror story after horror story...

A guy on the Jeep SRT forum was real happy when he saw his license, on his Jeep SRT in a magazine getting flogged to death doing 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs. It was done completely without his permission while Hennessey told him that he needed to fine tune it...

Karma's coming for that guy. There's way too many far talented super-tuners out there; just in the Viper community there's Sean Roe, Underground Racing, Heffner, etc., who easily capitalized on their skills coupled with Hennessey's failures. Not only is he a unbelieveably poor business man, he ain't exactly good at what he does either; guys have dyno'd their vehicles and have been REAL disappointed, in addition to driveability issues that make their rides, well, undriveable.

There's a guy over on the Viper truck forum's who Hennessey Ram SRT-10 smokes more than my diesel...

Here's a thread to get your own research started so you can make up your own mind;

Never had to deal with him and never would due to the unbelievable comments in this forum. Just read a few pages and you'll see.
