    Note, they didn't show or mention what happens when they are lined up side by side. You don't buy a camaro or mustang for it's great ride. Hell we're not camparing porsches and lambos here. I'll take the Hennessy.

    Besides the fact that this is an apples (factory stock car) to oranges (aftermarket tuner car) I think it was a fair (but abbreviated) comparison.

    hmmmmm. better ride, or better handling? the video i watched said the STOCK gt500 had better handling numbers and was only marginally slower PRIOR to going to a tuner. Henessey rips your eyeballs out for that kit and install.

    I see the base price of the HPE550 Camaro is $62k....thats with you supplying a barebones $31k ss camaro and the $31k upgrade.

    The argument that some will pose is....the Gt500 beat the camaro....and you have $12,000 left in your pocket. Spend that $12,000 in mods for the Gt500, and you will have a vehicle that competes with Hennessy's LS9 powered HPE700 camaro (700hp) that retails for $109.5k

    I watched the vid at work and my boss was trying to convince me to either sell the GTO or get a blower. I told him about getting rid of the goat and to the blower idea. The blower would prob be after I pay off the car. My car is quick enough for my tastes.
