Hennessey Camaro, 705hp

[Homeslice]

Uh, wasn't Hennessey the guy who was investigated for fraud, for stealing parts off customers' cars, and not finishing work as promised?

And sorry but I can't get very excited about someone putting a Corvette engine in a Camaro. That's been done 10 billion times already. Kinda like the Omni GLH getting the intercooled turbo engine. You knew it was going to happen anyway.

Do something original.

Yep he would be the one.

Why would I pay 6 figures for a Camaro?
Why not get the ZR1 for the same price?
Why not just use some of the bazillion options to build up a stock Camaro?

I'd rather have a ZR1.

And the ZR1 would actually be CHEAPER

Supercar performance from a 638hp supercharged V8 engine, carbon fiber bodywork and sharp styling should all add up to a price tag in the $200,000+ range if you look to the competition, but the Corvette ZR1's unmatched value put its sticker price at just $104,920 for 2009. That price will be going up for 2010, but not enough to push the ZR1 from its bang-for-the-buck pedestal.

Pricing for 2010 will start from $107,830, a rise of $2,910 over the 2009 sticker, reports CorvetteBlogger. Once you add in the $1,700 gas guzzler tax, the total climbs to $109,530 for the 3,333lb (1,512kg) 2010 Corvette ZR1.

That's still about half the price of its nearest performance rivals, and only about $20,000 over the 480hp (358kW), 3,800lb (1,727kg) Nissan GT-R.

Aside from the modest 2.8% price bump, the 2010 ZR1 will also get launch control and the new Performance Traction Management system, both worth the expense in their own right. A new optional 'competition gray' wheel package will also be available, as will new interior and exterior color options.

The standard Corvette also saw a slight price rise this year, up $365, though it also gets the upgraded launch control and traction management systems.

You'd be sure of getting your ZR1 when you pay for it.

W/ Hennessey, you might not see your money or your car again!

I wish people would stop giving that thief free publicity - he deserves to be in prison based on the things I've read about him!
