1,000 hp Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Hennessey Performance has announced plans to boost the power of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to an astounding 1,000 hp.

While the factory Stingray will have a naturally aspirated 450 hp 6.2-liter V8 under the hood when it goes on sale this summer, the Hennessey package adds twin turbochargers, an intercooler, high-flow cylinder heads, a custom cat-back exhaust system and a host of other refinements topped off by a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty and a set of Hennessey premium floormats.

Try to get your Chevy dealer to throw those in for free.

Hennessey offers a similar upgrade for the existing Corvette, and the price for the modifications on the Stingray is $69,500 on top of the expected $55,000 cost of the car. Althought that might seem like a lot, the current top of the line Corvette ZR1 retails for about $124,000 and has a relatively measly 638 hp.

At some point, we should stop embarrassing horses by using them as the base unit for measuring motive power.

:worthy2: I've only got a dinky 350-hp 5.7L V8 in mine.

Wonder if maybe with that amount of horsepower the Hennessey kit includes a bigger rear wing than the standard Stingray has to increase downforce. I know my C5's tail lifts noticeably off the line when I gun it as it doesn't have a rear wing at all.

They probably have more fun than a barrel of monkeys with the comparison.

To bad its made by Hennessey and will break with in 1000 miles
