Sweet video.

I do not like the new camaro, looks terrible, unfinished. Nothing will beat the Mustang in looks and American muscle car performance.

I am always disappointed that the 5.4 always puts out such little horsepower when it is capable of so much more. What I cant understand is why they are only using 9psi. I think 13 would be better.

I really feel that supercharged 5.4 should be in the 600 range.

It seems another company can make an engine slightly smaller and yet pull out more horsepower, torque, etc.

It's something ford has done for years. It's not that the engine isn't capable, it's like they just don't care.

But screw all this, I got a bike for speed. I'll race 'em.

I think they both are badass cars and wouldn't turn either down.

I guess that John Hennessey has screwed so many Viper owners over that he's having to get into another brand of car. I wouldn't count on many Hennessey cars coming out of Houston. Yeah, John has that bad of a reputation. I noticed that one of the posters to the vid stated that the Hennessey has to run 110 octane gas. If that's so, you won't find many of these on the road.

both cars have lots of potential that is not achieved in stock form...


be careful street racers, these cars have lots of abilities to be turned into sleepers

Can you walk into a dealership and buy a Hennessey Camaro? Didn't think so. I think its unfair. My guess is I could buy 2 gt500 for 1 H Camaro. Only price I could find was for the hpe700 Camaro at $110k. Thousands more then the ZR1 Vette

They pulled 511 rwhp in the video. Figure roughly 15% drivetrain loss and that equates to 601 hp at the motor...

Ford has been seriously underrating the blower motors since the '03 Cobra.

Actually the ZR1s I've seen stickered at $118K. Doesn't the 700hp H Camaro have the same motor as the ZR1? But I agree, the Shelby FTW.

Hmm. ..I thought they were MSRPd $100-105k? Could be dealer mark up. But yeah, Why don't they compare similar prices as well
