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.

More like super steak when the HPE800, HPELS9, or Lingenfelter LS7 Camaro eats it.

Shitstang.

[lespaul12001]

have any mustang go up against the ZR1

any mustang < ZR1

[splattzilla]

or not. Seems like ford can hardy make anything under 4200 LBS anymore. I think this camaro will at the least give it a run....then again, i could always troll a Super snake thread and say "man, a Corvette ZR1 will kill this rustang"
