'THE EXORCIST' IS THE FASTEST CAMARO ON THE MARKET

In one of its latest videos, Hennessey again shows the capabilities of its latest creation, the Chevrolet Camaro HPE1000 'The Exorcist', the Texan's version of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which became one of the references of this particular American segment .The HPE1000 package features a number of mechanical and chassis modifications that enable the basic Camaro ZL1 V8 engine to raise its 650 bhp to brutal 1,013 hp (1,000 hp) with a maximum torque of 1,310 Nm. This inevitably reflects in the model performance.In this new video we can see how the Camaro 'The Exorcist' reaches its top speed: spectacular 349.23 km / h (217 mph) that makes it the fastest Camaro available today.To record the video, Hennessey's team moved to the Uvalde test facility, Continental's Texas facility, where they were able to show the model's maximum potential and achieve the long-awaited top speed that far exceeds that of its larger rival, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.The Demon is able to reach 326.7 km / h, but always when equipped with the appropriate tires, since the wide Nitto tires fitted to the standard model are not designed to maintain high speeds, but to cling to asphalt and power show all the mechanical potential in 'drag strips'.

The HPE1000 pack makes the Camaro ZL1 a very different model, which is why it has a higher price than the Camaro ZL1 itself. A new basic model of the ZL1 can be purchased for a price of around $ 60,000 in the United States and the basic Hennessey pack has a cost of $ 55,000 for manual versions and $ 64,950 for those using the 10-speed automatic . At these prices it is necessary to add several options and two packages depending on the use that will have the model, the circuit costs $ 6,995 and the drag has a price of $ 8,995.
