That’s right. The guys over at Hennessey are at it again with an idea that will make any gear head drool with envy. They decided that the 426 hp LS3 that comes in the Camaro SS just wasn’t good enough and that perhaps a little more persuasion via a 705 hp LS9 would help the tires put down a better patch of rubber. We couldn’t agree more and the rest of the package they’ve put around the new ZR1-sourced motor makes this the hottest Camaro we’ve seen by far.

When Hennessey announced their plans to shoehorn a LS9 motor from a ZR1 into the new 2010 Camaro the world stood still. When they released pricing equal to that of the ZR1 again the world paused. Last night it was time for the first Hennessey HPE700 to hit the dyno with its aforementioned powerplant strapped securely under its bonnet and potentially cause a little more havoc in the earth’s rotation - luckily there was a video camera present to capture the event.
