CAR AND DRIVER: Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V V700 - Specialty File "He knows that gobs of power and a quick-to-engage clutch make for a finicky launch. And those new tires don’t have total purchase on the pavement until the transmission is in third gear and 60 mph—achieved in 3.8 seconds, 0.5 quicker than a manual-transmission-equipped V—is some 1.5 seconds in the past. But at that point, the V700 is just reaching its stride, matching the Corvette ZR1’s 7.6-second march to 100 mph and its 16.4-second 0-to-150 run."

Autoblog: Hennessey V700 is crazy, fast "There are two kinds of people in the world. The first kind drives Cadillac's supercharged CTS-V, experiences the thrill of 556 horsepower paired with 551 pound-feet of torque and declares, "This thing is a monster. This is the fastest, most incredible American performance sedan ever made." Then you have the other type of person, the kind that takes the 4,300-pound CTS-V to 60 miles per hour in just over four seconds, runs the quarter-mile in 12.5 seconds at 115 mph and says, "Meh." Should you fall into that second category, John Hennessey has got a car for you." Autoblog (March 26, 2010) Click Here to Read the Article |

Corvette Magazine: Corvette Convert At one point, the Hennessey name was almost synonymous with highly tuned Vipers, but no more. When we visited Hennessey Performance, it was chock full of Chevies, including a modified ZR1 "The ZR700 idles and drives like a standard ZR1 at sane speeds, but when I finally got the chance to roll into the throttle hard, the Corvette really came alive."

Edmunds Inside Line: King Kong of Camaros Exclusive Drive of Hennessey's ZR1-Powered Camaro It's the most obvious combination since the invention of the word "duh." Throw the supercharged, 6.2-liter LS9 V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 into the nose of a 2010 Camaro. Anyone with the automotive knowledge of a beagle's butt has had this idea ricocheting through his mind since the debut of the ZR1 and the new Camaro. But it's John Hennessey and his crew at Hennessey Performance in Houston who did it first. And as you'd expect, the 2010 Hennessey HPE700 LS9 Chevy Camaro is a full-on Vikings-and-Mongols epic.[... continued] HPE700 Dyno Test by Inside Line |
