Hennessey has like 3 other ZR1 builds on their channel, this is the only one where you can hear that supercharger whine. I wonder whats different. Sounds like a fucking jet engine on top of an angry demon
The wing and sticky Michelins are the only things that keep that car from either "lighting them up" and spinning wildly out of control at 150mph, or just flat out taking off.
This C7 ZR1 with an HPE1200 package is the ultimate ULTIMATE dream car. Nothing tops this. Sound? Check. Speed? Check. Acceleration? Check. Looks? Check. Rawness? Check. Probably beat any supercar/hypercar out there? Check.
You hear a lot of people talk about how you can get the same power with half the cost through a typical performance shop, but you don't have the thoroughness that Hennessey puts into their vehicles and the warranty they can confidently stand behind. Amazing work.
I disagree-- there are several high quality performance shops in Texas and other states, that are actually more famous than Hennessey, like Katech in Michigan, to name just one. There are several in Texas that rival anything that Hennessey puts out, but havent been doing it for as long as Hennessey. During the first 10 years Hennessey was in business, he was sued several times for shitty work and poor performance, but he got his act together, put together a great business plan and work team, and has been hitting home runs ever since. I really admire the man and his vision.
Dr Dinkle C8 right around the corner. If not a fan of the c8 and prefer front engine, get a c6. either way 150k on a brand new ZR1 seems like awful value. It may turn into gold years from now if it’s a celebrated/last of its breed vehicle. If that’s the case, one that’s been deflored by an aftermarket company won’t be anywhere near as coveted.

The problem with your fast cars is that none of them fullfill the emisson requirments that we have in europe and many other countries ,therefore are the only places you can sell those in your own country and the middle east. Too bad, both for your manufactuers and we that are living in Europe.

After following Mike on streetspeed717 the C7 ZR1 has become my all time favorite car. I'm excited for the C8 and the future of Corvette's but the C7 ZR1 is perfection, I heard God himself was on the production team then on the line installing license plate bulbs or the closer then appears stickers on the mirrors.
Hey Hennessey I got a race for you to do i want you to race the 2019 corvette ZR1 vs Viper Acr in a 1200 horsepower race and race the ZL1 1LE vs Viper acr
@@cali2468 not necessarily, it would take a professional to unlock the car, to drive it how the ZR1 wants to be driven. But anyone could drive this, but a none racer driver would handicap it.
Yes 0-155 in a 1/4 mile is extremely fast. I ran 0-132 in a 1/4 mile with a 93 cobra I built myself though with only 600hp on a 175shot and a 10.49 1/4 mile that was a 302 pushrod motor!
Knocked about a second and a half off the stock ZR1 1/4 mile time, and with stock wheels/tires, that is impressive, slap some slicks and lightweight wheels and brakes and other weight reduction and have a 7 second car.
If I won the lottery, I'd get one of these with a stick. Because screw it haha. Edit: 0-150 in 10 seconds with that launch lol. 100-200 (62-124) in under 4 seconds... Yeah, it's fast lol. Not that me timing a video with an iPod means anything lol
@@williamking8684 Corvettes have always had good reliability. Maybe 1200HP will degrade that a touch, but Mclarens in general are kind of known for being unreliable, while Vettes are not.

omg that is amazing. I guess the reason why they didn't have a Hennessey Corvette on that Netflix show "Fastest Car" probably because they wanted everything stock. This car would have easily beat every car on both seasons.
That high pitch of the supercharger when the car blows by is an incredible sound.

Imagine the speed without the wing on!
It'll be insanely fast, but also an insane death missile...
Perfect.
The wing and sticky Michelins are the only things that keep that car from either "lighting them up" and spinning wildly out of control at 150mph, or just flat out taking off.
The car with the wing: just a really fast CAR
The car without the wing: tiny orange airplane go boooooom
