This, girls and boys, is a Chevrolet Camaro capable of 217mph. That makes it quicker than the latest Corvette ZR1 which, according to the Camaro"s creator, is sort of the point. It"s no ordinary Camaro, of course; it"s the Hennessey Exorcist, John Hennessey"s 1,000bhp take on the Camaro ZL1. "We wanted to see if the Exorcist could exceed the top speed of the new ZR1 Corvette, which is 213mph," said John. "Mission accomplished." The feat took place at Continental"s Texan proving ground, on its 8.5-mile high-speed oval. Despite the location being perfectly suited to such japes, it still looks pretty full-on as the car"s speed incrementally climbs. Skip to just after the two-minute mark if you want to get stuck straight into the action.
