2010 Hennessey Camaro Boasts 705 HP Credentials, $109,000 Price Tag [2010 Chevy Camaro]

via Jalopnik by Ben Wojdyla on 1/8/09

Assuming the 2010 Chevy Camaro ever makes it to production, Hennessey is ready with a stonkin' 705 HP supercharged upgrade kit ready to hoover up $109,000 of your dollars.

No matter how the new Camaro ends up, that's a huge pile of tithing for a mullet-mobile. If you're happy with a monster supercharged mill, carbon brakes, carbon fiber bits and pieces and epic badassery, it may be worth it, but otherwise, wow.

HENNESSEY PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING ANNOUNCES LIMITED EDITION 705 HP LS9 POWERPLANT FOR THE 2010 CAMARO HPE700 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.

that is ... one camaro i don't mind owning. shit, i'll take any new camero, they look badass to me IMO

1Via! · 01-09-2009, 09:20 AM

Whoa, bro, 700hp.

Looks way too retro-tastic.

Daniel. · 01-09-2009, 09:24 AM

So Hennessey is basically strapping a bunch of Zr1 parts to a Camaro and a few CF parts.

Wait, for that price why not just spend a bit more for the REAL ZR1?

Especially since we all know how shitty Hennessey's work is on "other" cars.

VROOOM · 01-09-2009, 09:25 AM

just buy a ZR1 they cost the same and the ZR1 would probably murder the Camaro. Camaros weigh a ton.

Sleepy240 · 01-09-2009, 09:25 AM

yeah it looks great, except your forget hennessey is the one making it...

**Phlip** · 01-09-2009, 09:28 AM

Exactly right, guys.
I get a well refined and properly engineered 620-horse ZR1 for, what, 103k?
Or I can spend 110 for Hennessey to void my warranty and leave me open to motherfucking HORRIBLE problems and the nightmares of dealing with them for the rest of the life of the car?
If I have half a brain, I go for the Vette.

SimpleS14 · 01-09-2009, 09:34 AM

Nice car and yes the ZR-1 is a better deal....but don't you guys think that car will face ridiculous mark-ups?

Fries · 01-09-2009, 09:39 AM

Did fucknessey destroy so many cars before? How in the fuck are they still in business?

Hey look at that, the truth plugin we got for vB is working!

You guys are looking at this as people who make out kind of money.

People who make our kind of money don't buy this car.

People who's wallets can't even fathom the thought of a recession buy this car.

They could care less about a warranty or Hennessey's supposed shitty work.

Yes a ZR1 is a hell of a lot better buy from our point of view. But when you already had you ZR1 delivered early last month and that extra $110k is burning a hole in your wallet, why not have a matching Camaro.

And maybe I'm missing something here but, last time I checked putting a 700hp Vette engine producing 700hp into a $30,000 car is a pretty rad achievement and as a car enthusiast this is the type of stuff that we should be excited about.Even IF there are better buys out there.

See what I did there.

i think you missed the part where this model of Camaro is being made by those fucks over at Hennessey.

SHIFT_*grind* · 01-09-2009, 10:13 AM

So is that $109,000 PLUS the cost of a new Camaro, or is the car itself included in the price?

I mean, the only question is whether you're flushing your money down the toilet, or flushing it down the toilet while getting a broomstick up your ass, but I'm still curious.

Still cool though.

The tip of the iceberg.

Of course, we don't KNOW that's Hennessey.......but......well, just read it.

LeftNutOfGowd · 01-09-2009, 10:36 AM

I think I just creamed my pants that shit is sexy

atom · 01-09-2009, 10:44 AM

Leave it to Henessey to fuck a a car up. I'll wait to see what Lingenfelter has planned.

Actually, a few years ago, Motor Trend did a tuner car comparo with the Hennessey Venom Viper, a Callaway Vette, a Lingenfelter Vette and another tuning houses Viper and a large part of their writeup on the Hennessey Vipers went on about the shitty build quality and techniques, parts failures and people just not fucking getting their cars back in a timely fashion, if ever at all. They also went on to explain the BBB complaints against Hennessey.
I still have the issue at home and a DVD with some of the footage as well.

**ThatGuy** · 01-09-2009, 11:09 AM

New Camaro =

ZR-1 Power and enhanced Retro Styling on a New Camaro ("Hockey Stick Stripe!") =

Realizing it is built by Hennesey and Overpriced =

If I stumble across a few hundred bags of large unmarked bills in the next couple of years, there would definitely be a New Camaro in my driveway. Preferrably the bags are big enough to include a 1969 Camaro sitting right next to the New Camaro, with matching paint, and similar mods/power. That would make me very happy.

VROOOM · 01-09-2009, 11:16 AM

73 split bumper over the 69 anyday.

Oh wow. I didn't know it had been brought out into the open like that in a forum as public as Motor Trend.

Good to know. I honestly hadn't payed attention to any of that stuff.

I partially retract my original post and second ^ post.

i think the new camaro is fugly. the ZR1 is a better buy, just like you guys said. i thought i heard somewhere that there was no warranty on the drivetrain of the ZR1 though?? perhaps i've confused it with something else?? the KR maybe? i dont remember now.

stiizy · 01-09-2009, 01:43 PM

Just like the last generation and every other one before that.

Domestic cars hardly ever looked good and in the recent years they have been absolutely slaughtered.
