Automotive lust in America means blown Camaros. You know, like the red '69s on every cover of Car Craft. A big BDS 10-71 supercharger sticking through the hood and massive M/T drag slicks under tubs in back. Let the rest of the world dream of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and dinky little British two-seaters. In this country speed doesn't look like that.
It looks like this.
This is the Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) "HPE550" supercharged 2010 Camaro SS. That's right, it's a blown Camaro. The first blown 2010 Chevy Camaro. And that makes it the very newest version of a true American icon. Ranks right up there with the Beach Boys, buckets of deep fried chicken and our incomprehensible Internal Revenue Code.
Be proud of it. We Americans invented the greatest car ever: The loud, tire-smoking, V8-powered, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive muscle machine. And we should celebrate the accomplishment just as John Hennessey is, by building more.

@MrDMachuta that is just claimed the dynos could be different and off some and the could have claimed it was less hp than it was even though that is dumb
Dont take this the wrong way I LOVE CAMAROS...BUT It is NOT possible to have 562 hp at the crank and 559 at the wheels... Thats saying that the entire drive train only uses 3 hp. Absolutely NOT possible!

559HP= 1/4 mile in 12.1 Sec. at 120 mph
Cadillac CTS-V700:
700HP= 1/4 mile in 11.07 Sec. at 128 mph
I think the torque numbers are missing here.
