Now, this supercharged Corvette Stingray is fast – it posted a 10.97 quarter mile time and burst to sixty in 2.9 seconds. It’s that fast courtesy of a Hennessey HPE700 pack that pushes its power output to 708 hp.
Hennessey achieves this through the use of a 2.3-liter supercharger, high flow cylinder heads and a revised camshaft. There are also some optional carbon bits and like front and rear lip spoilers and side sills.
The company is only selling 100 packs, so availability is limited.
It can also do 200 mph or 322 km/h and both these performance feats are demonstrated via videos posted below. They actually closed a toll road for the high speed run attempt where the car was equipped with a manual gearbox; the one doing the quarter-mile sprint has the optional eight-speed auto.
