First Test Drive of the HPE700 Camaro by Edmunds Inside Line
November 16, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Late last week, Edmunds Inside Line teased us with their dyno video of the Hennessey HPE700 LS9-powered Camaro making 691 rear-wheel horsepower.
And today, they followed it up with the release their full test drive.
From its raucous exhaust note and shuttle-launch acceleration to its amazingly tame part-throttle driveability, Inside Line pushed the HPE700 Camaro through its range of mechanical mannerisms and, based on their article (and tire smoke-laden photography), had a blast doing it.
So without further ado, you can read Inside Line’s test-drive of the HPE700 Camaro here.
Motor Trend 3-Way Throwdown: HPE550 Camaro vs. Mustang GT500 vs. Challenger SRT-8
August 7, 2009 by Leave a Comment
A few months back, Motor Trend compared the stock 2010 Camaro SS to the new 2010 Mustang GT and the 2009 Challenger R/T. Apparently, the match-up sent enthusiasts into a frenzy.
Some said they should have tested the Mustang GT500 against the crowd. Others claim Dodge’s SRT-8 should have been given a chance to show what it can do against the GT and SS.
Motor Trend’s logic, however, was sound: Keep the competitors close when it comes to how they affect the average American’s pocketbook (all three fell in the $30′s). Besides, the GT500 wasn’t available at the time, and the Z/28 Camaro — the natural competitor for the Shelby — is still being mulled over at GM and may never see the road.
They were stuck. That is, until now.
The 2010 GT500′s are on the street, and in the absence of a supercharged Z/28 from the General, we stepped in with our own supercharged 2010 Camaro: The HPE550.
Motor Trend has posted their entire article and photo gallery online.
Here’s a hint of what the editors at Motor Trend had to say…
“There is no debating the HPE500 car is the most powerful muscle car in this group, with brutal straightline speed and a badass presence.”
“The power in this car is just fantastic and the sound is incredible.”
“Hennessey’s conversion ups the Camaro’s game considerably. Now there’s real spirit when you prod the right pedal. Your head melts to the seatback; the exhaust snaps and crackles — even pops some.”
