Post a Comment
Hennessey Performance Engineering has announced another 2010 Camaro package (check out the HPE700 Camaro) named the HPE550. This is a slightly more tamed version of the HPE700 that was announced previously. This car is looked at by many in the industry as the “replacement” for the New Z/28 that is currently on “indefinite hold”. Touting 552 HP and 557 lb-ft of Torque the HPE550 is sure to turn a few heads, and possibly injure the drivers neck as well.
At what cost can you own this monster? Well… the pricing for the package is $24,950 plus shipping charges if uninstalled, and $31,000 installed. Of course you’ll have to buy the Camaro SS yourself.
“The HPE550 upgrade package gives 2010 Camaro owners the kind of power they are going to want, especially when they roll up on a Shelby GT500 Mustang”, said John Hennessey, President and CEO of Hennessey Performance Engineering.
