Hennessey goes topless in the LS9 Camaro

Only 24 lucky buyers will get their hands on a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro with the Hennessey HPE700 LS9 treatment. They will be a mix of hardtop and convertible models.

These are not ordinary tuned Camaros. Hennessey has a rich history of tuning factory performance cars and these will have a 755 horsepower version of the LS9 motor currently available in the Corvette ZR1.  According to Hennessey, the HPE700 Camaro will do 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 130 mph, impressive!

Jackass - 1969 Camaro with LS9 power

As we reported in March 2009, the 1969 Camaro with an LS9 Corvette ZR1 motor now known as Jackass was debuted at the 2009 Detroit Autorama.

Mark Stielow had the car built by Reiters Metalcraft Inc in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. Mark has written a book detailing the build up of this car.

The car that really changed the way people viewed Pro Touring Camaros was Mark's Mule. While that car was featured in a series of buildup magazine stories, there is still a lot that wasn't shown. Mark wrote a book on the entire buildup of the '69 Chevrolet Camaro that became as world famous as the Mule. It details how he starts a major project, what methods he uses to create his groundbreaking cars, and some excellent tips on how to tune a car to provide enjoyable, consistent performance. It is loaded with more than 700 color photos and is available exclusively from Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center for $26.95.
