For those who don’t remember, the EcoJet was a concept car built by General Motors back in 2006 together with auto aficionado and television personality Jay Leno. The vehicle made its debut at the SEMA Auto Show of that same year and was penned at GM’s Advanced Design Studio in Warren, Michigan. There was never any intention to turn the concept into a production model, which was clear from the start given its 650 horsepower jet engine, but it showcased the talents of GM’s engineers and remains one heck of a cool concept.

Thought Hennessey’s LS9-packing 700 horsepower HPE700 was as extreme as Camaro tuning got? Think again because the Texan tuner is at it again and now offering mega 1,000 horsepower upgrades for the Chevy pony car. Called the HPE1000, the heart of Hennessey's latest kit is a 7.0-liter LSX V-8 engine with a pair of turbochargers bolted on. Peak output is a Bugatti Veyron rivaling 1,000 horsepower and 900 pound-feet of torque, all of which is channeled through a twin-disc clutch six-speed manual or a reinforced automatic before ending up at the rear wheels.
