If you think the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is potent enough with its supercharged 6.2L V8 engine giving out 580 horsepower with a torque of 556 pound-feet torque, the tuning company Hennessey Performance Engineering thinks otherwise. HPE just launched their upgrade kits for the supercar of Chevrolet springing the output up to 1,021 horsepower.
The tuning kit called HPE1000 Twin-Turbo is reported to give out 1,021 HP at around 6,400 rpm. The internals of the supercar has been done with the installation of the 7.0L LSX engine, low-compression pistons, camshaft, forged steel crank, cylinder heads that are high flow, and improved fuel system that gets new injectors.
The turbo system with dual wastegates, air-to-air intercooler, boost controller, and redone exhaust system made of stainless steel brings the whole setup to another level. The powerful engine is paired with a manual gearbox with dual friction clutch.
This tuned Camaros will also get an exterior badging to boast the HPE1000 kit, serial numbers on the dash, engine plaques, and HPE designed headrests and floor mats.
If you think 1,021 HP is too much, Hennessey will also offer a milder but very potent 800 HP, 700 HP, 650 HP, and 600 HP variants.
You can order the Hennessey tuned Camaro ZL1 before the end of 2011. Each car will come with a 12,000 mile warranty for a year.
If you are from California, take note that this car is not compliant with the state’s emission laws.
