Hennessey Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Offers Up to 1,000 HP

Hennessey is an extremely greedy (no pun intended) aftermarket developer, who would do everything to give you more power, so you can imagine the excitement felt by the company when it got its hands on the meanest incarnation of the Chevrolet Camaro, the ZL1.

The muscle car’s 6.2-liter supercharged V8 can be offered in four stages of power. It all starts with the HPE650, which uses a cold air induction system, a new intercooler and stainless steel headers, new pulleys and an ECU remap. Thus, the unit delivers 650 hp instead of the factory output of 580 hp.

Next up, we’ve got the HPE700, which comes with all the aforementioned goodies, plus a new camshaft and hugh flow cylinder heads, allowing the driver to play with a total of 717 hp. Those who want even more muscle, can opt for the two previously announced programs, HPE800 and HPE1000, which deliver 800 and 1,021 hp, respectively.

Camaro ZL1 goes head-to-head with Shelby GT500 in 1,242-horsepower comparo

Numbers don't lie. But they don't always tell the whole story, either. That's one reason why we've been so interested in the rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro over the last several decades. The two cars have been swapping performance and sales-floor bragging rights since Chevy slapped its Bowtie on its Pony-fighter in 1967, and the faster model hasn't always been the better seller.

That said, when it comes to the stoplight-to-stoplight drag race of the internet, nothing but good hard facts are going to earn you any respect. This being the case, the latest Ford Shelby GT500 has been King of the Road ever since it was unveiled as a 2013 model. With 82 more horsepower (rated) and a couple hundred pounds less weight to move, the 'Stang out to outrun the range-topping 2012 Camaro ZL1 in straight-line performance testing.

Of course, the world doesn't always operate in straight lines, meaning there's a whole lot more to this story left to unfold. The boys from Inside Line decided to round up the latest GT500 and Camaro ZL1 models to see which would come out on top in a series of head-to-head contests.
