Smokin Camaro: Hennessey HPE550 Supercharged Chevy Camaro SS

[BreanaMikaut282]

lool i am a lonely girl from the uk

[TheHCR202]

My best friends dad bought that car. #1 car seen here they just rebuilt it, new tires and brakes and sent it to us. It's had a lot more done to it since. It's basically a hpe700

[MrJGassen]

I don't care much for the exhaust sound, I think a deeper note, like that of a Flowmaster system would be better. My Hot Rod Camaro ( 1 of only 36 built ) has a 4:10 gear, at 80 MPH in 6th gear I am only @ 2200 RPM's. I had it up to 145 MPH before shifting to 6th.

[highvelocity123]

It's a heavy car....that's why it seems like it needs shorter gear... I like it but not for that price point. 45-50K max. 

[ProofEqualsFact]

Can't wait to see what Hennessy will do with the 2012 Camaro ZL1 coming out this spring, it's better than the SS

[ColdAirInductions]

Great build!

[500bmw1]

These junks are 29k.. lol my dads 745i bought his bmw for 80k.. Hows is it expensive?!

[BlaiseRogers]

Might wanna throw some gears in that thing, takes off and sounds like a dawg... Gotta get some wind-up in that thing!!

[MrELstatic]

cts-v is better

especially the v700 or v800 by hennessey

[Me12party]

DEAR SANTA...

[ratonL]

Size 42 jeans... lol

[M16A2evans]

My buddy just showed me his today. It looked exactly like that one except his hit 586whp with the HPE550 + headers. His clutch needed replacement after a few hours. He paid close to 14k total. I'd stick to my Subaru STI anytime. I beat stock SS Camaros with ease & I only have 360whp @ 19psi of boost. Now I need a clutch too. Chevy has nice cars though.

[jeffm26]

@M16A2evans

I concur...However your sissy 360whp is no match for my 2G Eclipse puttin down 562awhp consecutively...Now on to the supercharged Camaro...Step up my friend...I'd love nothing more to add your badge to my fender win column...

[TheMoscowLove]

I just got a boner.

[sabrina13257]

so just turned 18

[KeskinTRS]

If you`re a man you scrape that rubber from the road and smoke it in a cigarette.

[tuvanseoonline]

:)

[MessersmithWill]

that car is so european.

[Corvette35000]

@MessersmithWill CHEVY camaro...not FIAT camaro...

[TimG11L]

@MessersmithWill how the fuck do you figure that?



[KeskinTRS]

I love the looks and performance of the corvette but the camaro just has the best muscle car sound on the market

[TheRocker2112]

@Marshmallowrex No ones laughing with you

[tomchioma48569]

hihi I am a Hot 18 Girl and I am here to have fun

[twistngrapes1]

naw this aint shit for tha gt500 hennessey 

[545beatrizemeyer44]

erm i will help you to feel like you are in heaven

[TheDylan222222]

@mrfuckricers lol this might go on forever

[KillaPillaP]

@Marshmallowrex ricer stripes???? Dude, these racing stripes are the mark no.1 for muscle cars.

shitty sounding? wash your ears, i somehow feel that they're full of yellow..

[KillaPillaP]

omg i need this car.

[TheDylan222222]

i find it funny that the 2012 boss does a faster 0-60 (4 seconds flat) and is almost as fast in as this car in the 1/4 mile and the boss has 444 hp and this camaro has 562 hp

[MrWorkBenchs]

whoever drove it at 1:24 does not know how to race... im 15 and i can race better then that....

[KillaPillaP]

@MrWorkBenchs hahaha ofc you can dream of that, kiddo :)

[MrWorkBenchs]

@KillaPillaP im not dreamin... i've already done it... i did a 11.9 at 125 MPH in the 1/4 mile... illegally of course :P

[KillaPillaP]

@MrWorkBenchs and ofc you did it just with the same car, rear wheel drive, over 1.6 tons of weight, and no traction? Am i right?

[MrWorkBenchs]

@KillaPillaP uhm, btw, a ton is 10k lbs... and 2nd of all i had a year older version which was primer black with red metallic in it, and 3rd, my tires were 3" taller...

[KillaPillaP]

@MrWorkBenchs yes of course.

[13tomabram]

@MrWorkBenchs a ton is 10K lbs? What??? A ton is 2000 lbs. Go back to school.

[Bladeworkssystems]

This couldn't eat a Supersnake. the supersnake is the fastest, most elegant mustang ever built.

[Noctem888]

@Bladeworkssystems I beg to differ, there a video of this car taking out the supersnake

[JazzyRedd281]

I luv you Hennessey we will be married soon!

[dwmcdaniel13]

@Marshmallowrex zr1 is a corvette? and hows it a shitbox. one of the fastest production cars u can buy FOR THE PRICE. cars is capabal of 220+ mph.

[BulldogsFever]

Must have been the kind of Camaro I heard the other day with my windows down. All I know is I wet my pants as it passed... O.o

[fastvedub1]

Now if they can just get a chevy to sound as good as a ford.^_^

[todd3190]

How much is the 1000 HP Hennessey Camaro

[adamlcox1]

@todd3190 Just the price of the upgrade is $ 65,000.

[JazzyRedd281]

@todd3190  $ 62,500

[dezinetech1000]

@Marshmallowrex You must be a little kid in your teens or early 20's. Ricer and Muscle are like apples and oranges. Your comment goes to show you don't know much about the two. What Hennessey did to this car is Pure Muscle Mods. The mods on this car are tastefully done. Ricer = Fast&Furious (minus the charger).

[JustBeatItNow]

i look like this car

[TLKcars]

For all the Mustang fans I just want to know why your even watching this video. I mean im sure there are plenty of Mustang videos to watch on Youtube. So Camaro fans will watch Camaro videos and Mustang fans will jack off to Mustang videos.

[cartoonhero91089]

only 6 pounds of boost on an... m90?!?!? what the fuck? drop the pulley size, bigger injectors and a tune and this thing can run twice, maybe three times that much boost

[Warblade118]

@cartoonhero91089 I don't think hennessy does anything to the bottom end. 12 lbs of boost on hypers would get a little dicey and 18lbs would not be smart at all if you want the thing to live. But you get the bottom end of the LS3 all forged up and 18lbs of boost should be no problem. And a hell of alot of fun too.

[RidX4Ricers]

Wonder how it'll compare to the ZL1

[patrickpp14]

$62,000?!?! i rather have a ZO6 thanks 

[Fire777Black]

2011 like))

[CHUUMPASS]

named 550 yet you get almost 560 horses at the wheels, way to go Hennessey :)

[machinegunboy98]

@CHUUMPASS that might just have been planned.... o.o but chances are it probably wasn't

[CHUUMPASS]

these definitely can do better than 4.3 secs to 60

[MrSnowboardnzx]

Is that even necessary ....

[mesice]

the hurst camaro is better man!

[sookyz]

nearing 600 hp, 100 some grand later and you're running fucking 12s @ 120? this car is a waste of money and too heavy.

[Al3ameriLiCiouS]

@sookyz  SHUT THE FUCK UP

[Express956]

@sookyz it costs around $20k or i think less, more like $10k.

[RidX4Ricers]

@sookyz 100 grand.... more like 62,500 if you listened to the video.

[bryan70661]

pendejos gringos tengo un vocho que core a 300km/h me la pelan

[marogers82]

size 42 jeans come on man . i wear size 40 i guess its offical , i'm fat. :(

[Warthog32695]

Drag race, between this and the new GT500 would be good

[KoRnrulesM6]

waste of tread

[Noahsebb88]

Now there's a Camaro I'd drive. I didn't enjoy the 2011 SS. It just didn't work for me, though the fat lactating Chevy dealer who couldn't shut the fuck up may have had something to do with that.

[19Icelander]

holy shit, that car sounds amazing!

[UrbanTrooper1]

lol its as american as super size fries and size 42 jeans. lmao

[silentsmokey]

i wish is was American :(

[Moution23]

This car is realiable? I mean it would like many years?

[chevystud88]

@Moution23 Any car can last you as long as you are a smart person and maintain it properly. It ain't rocket science.

[the934x4]

With a second or less difference in 1/4 mile and 0-60. Which can be negated with the extra 30k you have. Mind you in 68 a 350 Camaro was as fast as a 390 mustang...

[the934x4]

I'm really at a loss at why ford fans have to make up numbers to feel good about themselves. Fords are unreliable. I know, I've worked on tons... The Camaro is the fastest vehicle for the money from the factory...you pay in the mid $60k range for a GT500. A Camaro SS runs for half that...

[60SecondAssassin1]

@the934x4 The Camaro SS doesn't compete with the GT500, it competes with the GT...hence the price difference.

[Kadorja]

$62k for a slow and overweight car.... no thanks. I'd rather have a Vette or GT500.

[kchsv]

@Kadorja get a zr1 if you dnt want a sedan

[platinum29ROBLOX]

@kchsv its not a sedan, its a four seater coupe :D

[kchsv]

@platinum29ROBLOX  oh wat eves

[528jkl]

all car capmanies in america must stop producing cars!

[duxluver]

america.... Fuck yea

[jakethekicker33]

for $20,000 less, a boss 302 mustang is faster to 60 and around corners...ford>chevy

[heartboy86]

@jakethekicker33 this has really nothing to do with ford nor chevy,its simply hennessey overcharging for a car,its nice but not 62k nice

[Jordan112590]

they need a yenko camaro

[dwmcdaniel13]

Lol eats that GT500 alive

[asdfghjkl10531]

@dwmcdaniel13 Lol, but this car is 62K + 19K

GT500 is in the 40k's.

[13tomabram]

@asdfghjkl10531 19K?? The SS STARTS at 31K.

[93mustangboy]

@dwmcdaniel13 But not the Super Snake but then again Camaro has the LS9 Hennessey camaro lol

[dwmcdaniel13]

@93mustangboy chevrolet: always one step ahead of ford.

[93mustangboy]

@dwmcdaniel13 well as long as their american muscle its cool by me

[TheDylan222222]

@dwmcdaniel13 chevorlet = cheap heave every vale rattles oil leaks every time

[frontdesk123]

$62,000 for that? That's $30,000 more for "almost a full second faster." Umm, no thanks. Even putting it together myself for $19,000 in parts for "almost a full second faster" is crazy.

[internistsurgeon]

@frontdesk123 20 grand per sec is the going ratio huh

[cmartin0011]

Chevy should just reinvent the classic 350 for twin turbo application high horsepower high efficiency an move to carbon fiber for body parts an reinvent the mass production market with amazing efficient sports cars with good gas mileage when cruising and rockets when showing off =) thumbs up for this

[THEARMEDLIFE]

@cmartin0011 i agree oh and so does chevy they call it the ZR1. if chevy did all you say to the camaro it would cost $60grand so even though all that sounds great i have to give you thumbs down as the SS is to expensive already pony cars were meant to be cheap fun for all to enjoy. not many can drop 38K on a sports car.

[cmartin0011]

@THEARMEDLIFE its all about the mass production can the produce carbon fiber cheaply and on large scale? they move carbon fiber to an in house production facility maybe. turbos they should make this in house also and apply it to all there engines for ether efficiency or power or both. much like fords doing

[Moution23]

Camaros are a HITTTT

[mrdriftking8]

chevrolets and apple pie baby

american muscle dude

[TheCurlyGang]

AMERICAN BUILT FTW

[TopperRollinCoal]

@TheCurlyGang I wish man, they should build these beasts in the states but the camaros are made at the oshawa plant.

[poopybutthole96]

needs more boost!

[mdforsberg49]

was a big chevy guy for 30 years after this new shit they can go fuck themselves. i will never buy a chevy and if i win one i will wreck the pos so its one less on the roads. american made try euro made with american badges. my hats is off the ford and dodge who are still doing it some what american. at least dodge engines are still american for v8's and fords.

[pranksterDoug]

@mdforsberg49 buddy idk what your smoking but fords is mostly built in mexico and dodge as well... nothing is truely american anymore...if you that stupid go ride a horse.

[mdforsberg49]

@pranksterDoug right dodge and fords blue prints are still made here the test cars are still built here. mass production i know is built else where. when was the last time you think chevy even made there own blueprints bud. i've worked for chevy for years as an engineer grew up liking them but there tv adds about chevy runs deep use to. and the transmission is the same one in the m tanks. ha same brand yeah. chevy has become a lying business with every branch they have.

[pranksterDoug]

@mdforsberg49 all the companies lie thats just how they market there stuff.this country is going to hell i tell you. i work for the uaw and seeing some of the crap the company i work for does it really scares me. yeah GM makes some good trannys never had a problem with mine. the only time ive every really had any issues was when gm switch from tbi to the new vortecs. i have a 98 with a 305 and about every 100k miles i put on it i need to replace the head gaskets.every company has there ups&down

[420tesa]

whoa

[ivajlkvd]

fast, but still not worth it.

[redeyeflashestwice]

19,000! That's like packing in a Honda for good measure!

[bacvain]

I love this mad machine and especially henessey for their amazing running but with gas prices going up I wonder how long we can keep making 6.2-6.4-and up... Engines.

I love german cars but I also love that raw muscle power... Which way to go for the future?

[MrBigbrainer]

in 2020

american = 11.8 engine 620 hp

japanese = 2.4 engine 550

still the american beats the imports !!!!

[sic3kgt]

@MrBigbrainer and the weight of american is 4200 lbs and 2300 lbs for japanese! Imports forever!

[iHuDxRanDoM]

Only 6lbs of boost???

[chris95267]

@ fattommy guess what...we dont care. America has been making these pony cars for years and theres only one reason why we do it...we want to. They may be big gas guzzling monstrosities but there what we like. So stop comparing chevy and ford to honda...

[Warblade118]

@chris95267 Actually the irony is the pony cars are starting to get as good or better mpg that alot of 4 cylinder sports cars even though cars like the camaro SS and mustang GT 5.0 have bigger engines and are heavier cars. You tell that to an import guy and suddenly it's not about efficiency anymore, despite the fact that they've been beating pony cars over the head with the better mpg/efficiency thing for like 30 years now. 26mpg, 412HP 5.0L. Are there any imports out there that can match that?

[THEvampgenocide]

@Warblade118 yea my friend has a 07 mustang 4.6L at 345 hp aprox and if he drives it normal he hits 30 mpg... but as soon as he starts dropping gears to race it all disapears... lol we checked the mpg at 140mph and it was 3mpg... LOL... still even if the import was faster... your car is front wheel drive how is that gonna be fun to drive??? oh wait your gonna bring up a supra or s2000 which you guys will never be able to afford...

[Warblade118]

@THEvampgenocide As soon as you start dropping gears and racing or doing 130mph ANY car's mpg goes to hell, it's not just your friend's mustang. I guarantee you a boosted 500HP civic doesn't get 30mpg when it's racing or whatever.

[rross27]

DAMN! I drive a Volvo Wagon... 8(

[JuiceTheTechnician]

lol stop disrespecting the pavement like that 

[FullMetalCleric]

Bad on gas, understeers, overpriced? yeah, SO WHAT?! It's a car made the way WE make cars... FAST, LOUD, and VICIOUS! All hail the American muscle/pony car!

[duxante]

I guess i understand now that urge that chick's have for shoes...

[blacmetal12]

And they wonder why i dont want to marry for love...Dear 90 year old rich women..

[SirBoxer03]

Surprised that asshole "My friend's, cousin's, nephew's brother's 1000hp V-Tech can beat that" hasn't shown up yet.

[2009G8Gxp]

559 at the wheels with only 6 lbs of boost from a tvs2300? hmmm... :-/

[OldManNipples]

Unimpressed :/ Could make a Camaro faster than this for a hell of a lot less than 60K. Magnacharger supercharger, Torque Converter , Nitto NT555R drag radials , full exhaust system no cats, Camshaft , MagnaCharger small pulley. All without having those stupid decals all over it.

[Warblade118]

@OldManNipples You can always build more than you can buy.

[TheMaikaik]

too bad it can't transforn into bumblebee :(

[TheJezza2]

My last name is Hennessy, i need this car

[salmanbioshock]

nothing in the world sounds better than this ..

[Zcypot]

man.... 0-60 4.3? that is about 2000 Z06 times.

Also I hate muscle car fanboys. You gotta respect the civics man, I love muscle cars, but they are heavy and take a lot more HP to make faster. Ricers with 200 hp can stomp a lot of the muscle cars out there with very little money put into them since they are so light.

[St8lOCo941]

@Zcypot def have 2 agree wit u man....im a die hard muscle car type of guy...and owna 96 camaro....but like u said muscle cars def gettin out of hand in weight...lil ass 4clyinder civics postin better times than 12sec

[iiIMiSOiME]

mom can i borrow 62k?

[4wallsnodoors]

62K?! I would rather buy a 67-69 Camaro and be double brutal. Plus I could work on it myself.

[stopthemadness99]

Oooooh. 559HP at the wheels...

And all it costs is 69 grand?

Cool.

Oh, wait.

I've ridden in a '69 Camaro making 1040HP to the wheels. And it's a street car that cost considerably less than this.

Try harder, guys. Maybe invest in a good cam and head work.

[iraqivet1sg]

Any car Hennessey touchs turns to crap!!!!!!

Only nice cars he has are the ones shown on videos. His shop is full of clowns that should be working on briggs and straton. Their work quality is the worst, and if you drop off a car for them to work on or put his so called up grade on it, you will be so dissappointed.

[jpthegrappler]

@iraqivet1sg I tried not to laugh but dude that was kinda funny lol =0)

[MastrOfPuppets69]

Unforunatley, Its still a chevy

[Tunerboy1990]

wow.. a factory camaro is faster then a supercharged camaro... WOW.

[Syrotjak]

Class))

[LiittlleeMaann]

Dear Santa...

[HerrStutterNuts]

And for what this costs, I can do a whole lot more myself...

[TheWestonrice]

"think of all the fun you'll have"... if i had a supercharged camaro i would'nt have a lisence , the cops would take them for racing ....thats if they'd catch me in it of course ;)

[santiagomel00]

Shelby does it in 12.2 @118

[CJAEY]

550WHP with race gas and only gets 12's?

What a rip off...

[MrFerrell94]

I like it but race it aganist the shelby 500

[sic3kgt]

@MrFerrell94 a shelby gt500 does a quarter in 12.8, this did it in 12.1. 

[kunemkez69]

american muscle cars are the shit!!!!

[WorldPeaceGaming]

anyone know how much this cost like if u alredy had the camaro but wanted hennessey to do their thing

[jlarock2628]

@turbokompressored keep it real german boy...apples to apples. while your M5 is getting spanked by a CTS-V in every regard, Camaro will STOMP your 335i. And only becasue I know what your thinking, here's how the conversation really ends:

BMW turbo/supercharged confused sissy/frat boy: but wait, we have an M3, that'll teach 'em

C: good one

BMW turbo/supercharged M5 douchebag: Ha! that means we win!

Soon to be arriving Z28 Camaro: hello ladies...

apples to apples... 

[DJMC5ive]

brake stands = power. right ? :P

[turbokompressored]

Camaro driver vs M5 driver :

C: i'll show you some american power

M: i'll show you some european power

after a quarter mile...

C: OH SHIT WE HAVE CORNERS AS WELL????

M: Let's open some more the distance between my mirror and that gay orange bumper...

[ADD8oi]

@turbokompressored lmao thats cute, considering your 500hp 10 cylinder only does a best 0-60 of 4.7s.....not to mention the camaro being a hair behind the M3......which runs circles around the M5....lol oh you imbecilic german drivers...go buy a real car

[turbokompressored]

@ADD8oi my 10 cylinder M5 is a 4 door saloon witch can fuck in a track all the american junk except one or two vettes... the camaro is a fuckin sport coupe... so if you want to compare it (even the Hennessey HPE550) compare it with a porsche like the 997... witch is a 3.8 boxer... so remember every time that you compare american cars to european that europe rapes you from the ass... P.S not to mention that this one is a modded camaro... does it stand a chance against a G-POWER M5?

[ADD8oi]

@turbokompressored lol nice 4 door saloon kiddo, porsches categorize as supercars/sports cars, no shit, your comparing 60k+ vehicles to a 30k vehicle, then again, ive raced a couple carreras in my old cars....aint shit, raced an M5 on both a road course and on the fwy going home....its NOTHING lmao, you idiot german auto drivers, like i said before....go drive a real car :)

[turbokompressored]

@ADD8oi if a car that can't even handle as well as a toyota prius on the corners is a real car ... no i'll take a german 'fake' car... CLS 63, M5 ,E63, RS6, S4, M6, GT3, GT2, 911 TURBO,E550 COUPE, C63 , CAYENNE , TOUAREG, Q7 , X6M , X5M,, ML63 AMG,M3 are german cars and of course ''not real cars''... so you are saying that an orange piece of shit that can be outrunned by a GOLF GTI in nurburgring is a real car... i say: GO FUCK YOURSELF AND DO SOME GOOGLE SEARCH TO FIND THE REAL FACTS...

[ADD8oi]

@turbokompressored lol, you clearly have never driven ANY car, let alone an M series, the HPE550 has a full handling package, it will out handle you goofy little 10 cylinder....google search? no thank you, i prefer to drive the cars i talk about lol, whats funny is, the camaro, in stock trim is a hair behind the e92 m3, which does circles around the M5, this car would walk "your" sedan easily, not to mention with much more style too lol, however im done with you, go american or GTFO :)

[Aeonswins]

Know what you'll get - a 62 thousand dollar pile of shit

Buy a honda for 500 bucks put 1k into it and it will make this car look slow

[lordcrusade]

@Aeonswins LOL a honda wannabe lover Fucking hondas suck dude get yourself a real car not no slow POS i rather buy a dodge then a POS honda

[ilovechevy1]

@Aeonswins a 1500 dollar honda that will run faster than a 12.1?...u smoking crack huh?....u would have to Turbo a honda and strip out the interior...or do a K20 swap...try maybe with 5 grand or more u can buy a decent honda and mod it just enought to beat this..but hell..even then..u driving a Honda an new Civic SI only runs at best 14.9's..u not gona get any poontang with that car...none poontang at all sir

[iReFuZaLx]

I like the old Camaros better. not the 60's all 60's cars are good. im talking abou tlike 98-02

[lordcrusade]

@iReFuZaLx 60's and 70's ftw i have a 1975 Camaro putting a 454 in her lol

[ADD8oi]

@lordcrusade fully built ZZ454 crate my friend, my dad had a cherry reds 70 'velle with a zz454 making 550hp....american FTW

[MrAcme15]

stop talking... i need a v8 take off for my college audio clip...

[answer223]

62k？ I'd rather get a C63 and some lite mods.

[cooperunionstud]

american cars are so dumb, lacks refinement and class.

[08SilveradoLT]

Ok, forget the wheels and paint job and what d'ya say $5,000 for the rest? :) lol

[caydenkloot]

yea and why u dont got the money for one ya fuck

[mines01bigger]

Did anyone else just nut themselves when they saw this beast?

[buttnut1080]

Wow what a waste of money.

[somekiwidude]

@buttnut1080 i reckon. my dads subaru worth about 15,000 to 20,000 would totaly out perform that does under 12 seckond runs and has about 200hp less than that

[buttnut1080]

@somekiwidude Not so sure about that but it's a decent example of why this car's a waste none the less.

[breiningercc]

sweetlikeADAM your right a little civic wouldint know what to do with all of thoes horses

[somekiwidude]

@breiningercc cus it dont need them, horsepower is only one thing that influences performance horsepower is nothing without traction jus cus it can do burnouts by just touching the throttle doesnt mean its a supercar it means it has shit suspention setup

[chevystud88]

$62,000??? That's a good deal for the package!

[falcon2160]

I want one.
