Z/28, ZL1, Hellcat, GT350/R, etc. I'm so god damn proud to be an American right now.

[@Tazman1966]

60's and 70's was and will always be the era of the muscle car in the sense that any average guy with the know how could build one without going totally broke. These are rich boy toys. I'm not hating on these, I love them, it's just impossible for the average guy to afford one.

[@samiamjam111]

That exhaust note is mesmerizing.

[@Jesco2841]

I don't think anything has enough power for John Hennessey.

[@SunsetAlgorithm]

I love the fact that the z/28 only comes with a manual transmission, a real drivers car.

[@MaxwellReviresco]

I love NA cars. So sweet to see you didn't boost it. Nothing like the feeling of a N/A car!

[@IvFUZEvI]

Listening to this thing run, even on camera made me drool. I just love the sound of chevy motors, even my dads stock 2013 silverado with good gas sounds like a sports car!

[@Nerdygamer000]

ah the LS7. it produces a sound best described as "booming thunder"............ AND I LOVE IT.

[@Dylan-xj8tb]

Those black z/28's look so sinister

[@ReynierAvon]

what an incredible sound that beast makes!

[@700Dragon1]

How can you not like this video? He never down talks any other cars, he just builds great engines!! Nothing wrong with a Z28 that most can afford and have a great time while shifting your own gears!

[@evakq8r]

Damn.. I could listen to that engine sound for days... SO GOOD.

[@THEAVERAGEGAMER13]

Stock exhaust stock intake that noise lol barely any engine work for 140 hp thats ridiculously awesome

[@PuckVanek]

I had a 67 z28 as my dream car. This takes the spot!! Amazing car!

[@Lanse1984]

The sound this thing makes lol. My LS1 firebird sounds like a demon but this thing. Revs to the moon

[@macervel]

Great job John as usual keep up the great work you and your amazing team do.

[@MoellerGarage]

Sounds pretty mean, also love the black spoke wheels, nice!

[@jimpatterson3874]

greatest sound in the world

[@w.tuckwong9079]

Those stereotypes that "American cars cannot corner" should be stopped. The Z/28 is awesome in handling, that little bit of power is enough for it to eat some GT-Rs.

[@abcizdaman]

Bet you the client is proud you decided to do a video on his car.. what an awesome ride! Sounds great!!

[@CrzyMav]

Evil sound! Awesome work John.

[@g00dl00kinb0i]

The symphony @ 5:18 just made my day !!! hpedesign you guys never fail to amaze me with something I though I knew before :) One of the best V8 sounds on YT !

[@crapcork]

Wow, just absolutely beastly-sounding; incredible!

[@markbrinton6790]

What a machine.

[@1SIK500]

Alright. Im not big on Chevy, I mean at all. But this thing is freakin amazing!!

[@tanamus13]

That's an amazing build, well done!

[@ANGRY6LITER]

Great car. Keep up the great work HPE. Murica!

[@sjcea0512]

9 people actually dislike this video ? My guess is they all drive Priuses !! Seriously what in the world could you not like about a 600+ HP anything ???

[@goatskindreams]

sounds amazing

[@valeriesmith5993]

This car is AMAZING. But GM is the BEST at putting the power to the ground. The hellcat and 662 HP mustang are both great cars and super fast but I will stick the Camaro. I am fine with a 580 HP ZL1. The Z28 is the best for track performance but I want a daily driver.

[@paulwolford1070]

Mr Hennessy you should really work with General Motors and sell all of your upgrades like slp used to do in the late 1990's early 2000's your stuff is sick man

[@tripwire5435]

I always thought the z28 should've at least matched the zl1 in power. A tad over 500 bhp seemed a bit slow for the straight ways. But hey the engineers might've considered it. It probably messed with the track balance. I mean this is a stock track demon. It beat the gtr track edition and a turbo s on a wet track despite having a manual and rwd. . . So gm really knows what they're doing. But a nice job from hpe. They know that most people experience their cars performance between stop lights on the streets. Track days are special occasions.

[@TheFrenchMC]

Hennesey should work with GM like svt does with ford

[@cmondragon0911]

It does sounds freaking Amazing!!!

[@TheDetonationPodcast]

I'm crying inside because of how good this thing sounds

[@malcolmar]

AMAZING! That car sounds AMAZING!!! Hennessey, incredible work as always and I 100 % agree with you. We are living in the glory days of the American muscle car and this is quite a feat looking as all the regulations with smog and EPA and the fact these cars are everyday drivers. A GREAT time to be a car guy or gal! :)

[@Saltyscales]

sweet ride

[@lmadden6236]

That's an amazing Camaro!! Sounds perfect!

[@bdulay93]

God bless that amazing sound.

[@Dolby109]

Wow, that thing sounds AMAZING. I like the stock Z/28 but that is just intoxicating. Well done!

[@cbzo6]

Great Video John!

[@RosinGoblin]

Best sounding car ever made

[@Mikey-ug7nj]

Great video, keep it up Hennessey.

[@bobjohnson7972]

He makes cars awsome

[@jjs4you2]

Has that old Trans Am sound you heard coming from the late sixties Camaro's Mustang's and AMC Javelin's and my all time favorite AMC AnnnnnMX's! Wicked sounds for sure and that bumpy idle is to diedle for, ha!...

[@dutchboy25al]

sounds badass!

[@kingwindie]

damn,sweet sweet sound

[@baezn88]

Can't wait till you guys get your hands on the hellcat.

[@johnnybrown7492]

Can't wait to see the 2016. Got to have the 750 HPE package.

[@mlvontay]

Luv the Camaro

[@Tangsters]

Thank god for Hennessy!

[@vincealince_SRT]

Wow! Good job Hennessy boys, this car was cool to begin with but y'all just go over the top

[@karlo24alva10]

What an amazing car...

[@robfrmny21]

Great package!

[@quintili1]

Damn that thing sounds good.

[@ridgeline006]

very good looking car

[@313DETROIT]

Love that loud ass exhaust!!!

[@thecalii9280]

Wow real nice!!!

[@a7medowh]

Impressive

[@ntsmith715]

That's awesome

[@aidanwitwit1909]

Sick!!!

[@1bojanbojan]

Hello "Gear Heads" That was super cool :)

[@chevvcarlo1938]

I LOVE IT....................

[@nootboy77]

Amazing LS power /sounds like the demons of hell breaking free.

[@erichaley4485]

Sounds amazing. This car should have been what GM should have built

[@R4SPEED]

I'm going to try to work with Hennessey. I love how they make their cars faster.

[@EASTCAMDEN4LIFE]

I would add the 600 package, carbon hood and trunk lid but don't want the Hennessey badges on. I need it to be a sleeper.

[@juscallmeshane]

hell yes

[@Timotheedle]

Oh my the beautiful sound...... Swoon

[@loudblazer]

Question...so he said it gained 130ish hp, but then said it put 638 to the wheels. Since its 505 stock to the crank that's a lot more than 130hp gain. Depending on the drivetrain loss. Can hennessey or anybody clarify? Thanks!

[@Luvgar]

Hennessey = freaking awesome.

[@toonumbtoofeel7002]

12 Mustang owners dropped in. What a wicked ride.

[@ethananderson3912]

How much would the HPE1000 cost for the 2014 Camaro Z28? I checked your website but I couldn't find it.

[@drift101jak]

i'd daily the hell outta that thing

[@MAPRTX]

NICE

[@LongRon6969]

Please do a video on one of Y'all's jeep wranglers

[@IWreck92]

The sound reminds me of a zr1

[@OUMZDABBZ]

best car to have

[@klstrucker930419]

What's the price for this upgrade? Is the rev llimiter still at 7 or higher? Looks like this is what this car needed and sounds awesome!

[@christianlara1]

I have a 94 Z28. I can't wait to own the new 2014 Z/28. Wait! it's $72,000. I'll just have to wait.

[@VDoesEverything]

Will you be my friend?

[@FbiAbo]

i want to see a drag race

[@K0RRUPTOR]

What are the specs on this cam? I have a c6 Z06 that I'm looking to put a cam in and i would consider this same one.

[@Mr1986camaro]

feedinc he mentioned long tube headers, high flow cats BUT stock mufflers.

[@TsukuyomiPlayz]

Oh my god 😩

[@450LTRider]

U should do a Hennessy single cab truck

[@Veyronp87]

damn sounds like something out of hell!

[@ledfut]

Well, now I have to change my pants.

[@Themayseffect]

how high can the ls7 motor rev fully "unlocked"? 8k rpm?

[@cavila01]

the darth vader Camaro all he needs is a light saber hahaha bad ass Camaro all we need is for mickey mouse to throw this into the movie hahahahaha

[@shonuffLA]

So about that 290 top speed ? When can we get a vid of that monster in action ?

[@StanceTheoryBro]

290mph i dont think so i think about 215

[@shonuffLA]

24/7 uncharted i wasnt talking about the z28

[@shonuffLA]

Mr Wafflez thanks

[@Tjdgun]

Is that car seeing anyone or is it single because I would love to take it out sometime....

[@JuanManuelxj6]

This versus a Nismo GTR at the 'Ring. I'd pay money just to watch.

[@mrvlog6047]

Hi

[@zr1vetteman09]

Bee's knee's right there. Should have came from the factory that way. Instead of being lazy and dropping the same old LS7 they should have worked it over and added direct inject and similar mods to it as Hennessey did here. Now its a proper track monster. Thank you Hennessey! All I could do was shake my head through out the video. Why didn't GM do this instead of a tuner? Lol

[@jeffwill4923]

This LS7 has been worked over actually. Direct Injection has issues with the 7100rpm redline. Much of this 7L is new. The pistons,rods,and main bearings have been upgraded to race spec parts. Intake valves are now full titanium. I didn't know the heads were different. GM probably went less aggressive in heads for a flatter torque curve. Z06 heads were 12 degrees.

[@joshlewis5065]

Venom F5?

[@jimmiefloydjr8945]

Shit man that thing talks saying I am a bad azz....😯😯😯😯😯

[@Ghostintheshell3551]

im a import guy, but this car is just fucking amazing wow 600 HP

[@RapShoesCars]

I'm kind of curious as to the horsepower numbers he will be able to get out of the hellcat... Possibly upwards of 1100?

[@w.tuckwong9079]

Not to mention the Charger Hellcat... It does 204 mph STOCK.

[@djdrauss629]

Who cars that car is like a giant brick on wheels, to big, to heavy, can't corner, can't stop, oh and as far as reliability. .. yikes mopar garbage

[@djdrauss629]

Meant who cares not who cars...

[@LS1Highwind]

depends on if they maxed out the engine or not. the z28 is a bone stock ls7 so there is PLENTY of room for upgrades. Who knows, it may be a PITA to upgrade the 'el Cat from what it makes out of production.

[@MrRangerZr1]

This vs. the viper or the ZR1.............

[@doutlaw63]

I wish I could afford this stuff :/
