The Corvette Z06 a previous Top Gear Muscle Car of the Year, no less hardly wants for power in its natural 650bhp state. Hennessey who"s behind the world"s fastest convertible and other such road-going missiles nevertheless offers a fleet of packages to turn up that wick.Upgrades to 750bhp, 800bhp, and 850bhp all feature on the round-numbers-only menu. And then there"s the HPE1000 package. Can you guess its claimed power output?In the video below, you can watch and be deafened by a thusly-equipped Z06 taking to the dyno. Developing 850bhp and 711lb ft at the rear wheels (the tuning package numbers refer to power measured at the crank, before drivetrain losses), this is about as angry a Vette as you"re likely to meet.
