    Just another one of Hennessey's concepts that will never get built. Where is the Viper V10 powered, $200k PT Cruiser he was trying to sell, or the V10 Durango or the V10 Lotus Elise that he has everywhere right now. I will believe it when I see it.

    Taking the drivetrain from a car that's been out for ~2 months and putting it into a car that's a year away, along with new trim pieces, is calling the shot a little early. Not only that, GM could make their own super Camaro with the same components...

    That's a gorgeous looking car though.

    Man I have heard some "interesting" things about John Hennessy over the years. Not all are particularly complimentary.

    I may be misunderstanding your comment, but MY personal 2010 CAMARO SS gets delivered in about 6 weeks! The powerplant in the ZR1 I am sure has already wandered into a few boneyards nationwide. Might be a fun project to mate the two here in Oregon!

    More than likely my car will have an in house custom twin turbo system with the OEM motor in place. REALLY excited to have the car! Woot!

    Yes, the new Camaro comes out very soon and the last thing I read is that the LS9 is going to be available very soon as a crate motor.

    Very cool Adam. I love the new Camaro and I 'd love to see how you twin turbo it. Much cheaper than twin turbo a Gallardo.
