Hennessey to tune the Corvette Stingray to 1000 hp - photos

What for? 450 bhp sounds pretty good. 1000 bhp is ok in Veyron but in Corvette is madness.

WTF that is clearly not enough power

I would never mess with my new car's specs. That's when the problems come in.

I always mess with my new cars,never had any problems when reputable tuner was used.

I expect a bunch of thumbs down for this but - I am not impressed. We've seen massive power out of GMs new V8s and as awesome as it is (sorry Europeans, the pushrod V8s are not 1970s smogmobiles with no power or fuel efficiency), its been done before and we'll see a boatload of insane HP Vettes soon enough. The real challenge for tuners for the new Vette is to improve even more the new interior and improve handling. I live in Japan and I cannot count the number of 1000hp+ Supras that I have seen but not all win on the race track and they get killed in gymkhana/touge. Handling.....that's where the real talent will make a name for themselves. Lets see a total "track package" rather than just....oooooooooo, more hp.

the market is looking for supercar refinement....not plain horsepower numbers. what would be mental is if we get a 600hp 427 Z07 naturally aspirated..

No thanks... Jonh henessey is well known in the internet for ripping customers, I would waste a corvette with him...
