  • Hennessey ZR750 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

    Texan tuning firm Hennessey Performance Engineering is certainly no stranger to over-the-top modified cars, having released a string of 1,000+ horsepower Dodge Vipers in the past and even its own custom supercar powered by a twin-turbocharged LS9 V-8. With such a pedigree, it’s safe to say Hennessey knows a thing or two about extracting big numbers from American muscle. So, when faced with the challenge of improving on the 638 horsepower Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, instead of questioning why someone would want more power in the first place, Hennessey went about and built a new package for...

    Former Top Gear Stig Ben Collins was recently in Colombia helping General Motors and Hennessey Performance celebrate the launch of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro in that country.

This particular car comes equipped with a automatic transmission and a beefed-up torque converter. Want to see Collins lay rubber in South America? You know you...

  • Hennessey Viper aims to enter Supercar league
