    Texas tuner John Hennessey has turned his sights on the new Chevrolet Camaro, more than doubling the factory-build Camaro SS's 455-horsepower output. With 1,000 horsepower, the 2016 Camaro SS Hennessey HPE1000 Supercharged Upgrade will no doubt be blindingly fast in a straight line. It's worth noting that Hennessey is confident enough in the HPE1000 package that it offers a one-year, 12,000-mile warranty. The package starts with a standard Camaro SS with the LT1 V-8 engine that's stroked to 416 cubic inches. Custom forged aluminum pistons and an 11.5:1 compression ratio cope with the...

  • 2016 McLaren 675LT
