Hennessey’s Z/28 Camaro is Insane

[TransAmDan]

The Chevy Camaro Z/28 is an absolute monster as standatd it’s naturally aspirated dry sump LS7 is a power house. Only when you fully experience it on the track do you realize the staggering feat Chevy pulled off in creating that car. It’s 305 tires all the way around and carbon brakes are just breathtaking. Seriously, you stop so hard you’ll have to catch your breath.


However, there are those out there that believe the Z/28 is just not fast enough for them. Thankfully, mad scientists like John Hennessey still exist in the world and they’re more than willing to turn the dial well past 11 for the right price.

What you just witnessed is the HPE1000 Z/28 Camaro. It has 807 horsepower to the wheels, and around 700 lb-ft of torque, again…to the wheels. This is seriously one of the most ridiculously awesome cars in the world, and Hennessey decided what it needed was a 500 horsepower bump. Wow, Just go back and listen to that supercharger whine. It’s intoxicating. Immense power!

Dry sump explanation in case you wondered...

The primary advantage of a dry sump system is its ability to make more power. With very little oil in the pan, the rotating assembly is not burdened with the weight of excess oil (a phenomenon commonly referred to as "windage").And because there is no internal pump, the windage tray or screen which serves to isolate sump oil from the rotating assembly, is allowed to run the full length of the pan. Keeping the rotating assembly free of windage allows it to spin freely and make more power. In addition, the extra crankcase vacuum created by the dry sump pump helps to improve ring seal for additional power gain.
Other advantages of a dry sump system include increased oil capacity, more consistent oil pressure, the ability to easily add remote coolers, and adjustable oil pressure. And because the pan doesn't store oil, it can be relatively shallow in depth to allow lower engine placement for improved weight distribution and handling.

Moroso manufactures a full range of Dry Sump Oiling System components, all of which are engineered to be fully compatible with one another. This allows the engine builder to select the best combination of equipment and avoid the costly problems that often occur when "mixing and matching" components from various manufacturers.
