The Hennessey Chevrolet Camaro SS has hit a blistering 202 mph!

As the first 2016 Chevrolet Camaro to break the 200-mph mark, Hennessey Performance gave the Camaro SS its HPE750 supercharger upgrade that outfits the LT1 V8 engine with 751 horsepower and 643 pound-feet of torque. Compatible with both the factory automatic and manual transmissions, the HPE750 gives the Camaro SS a zero-to-60 time of 3.1 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 10.7 seconds at 129 mph with drag radial rear tires.

There’s a lengthy list of modifications as part of the package, but main highlights include a TVS2300 supercharger system running 7 psi boost, 1.75-inch stainless steel long-tube headers, high-flow catalytic converters and a stainless steel mid-pipe exhaust upgrade. The heads also get built with dual valve springs and titanium retainers along with an HPE hydraulic roller camshaft upgrade and hydraulic lifter upgrade.
