Even before the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon debuted at the New York Auto Show, Hennessey Performance released its rival in the form of The Exorcist, a 1,000 hp upgrade package for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
To make its ZL1 significantly faster than the standard car, Hennessey has fitted an enlarged supercharger, ported the cylinder heads, installed a high-flow air induction system, upgraded the camshafts and created a set of long-tube stainless steel headers.
According to the Texas tuner, this results in 1,000 hp at 6,400 rpm and 966 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm at the crank and a couple of days ago, The Exorcist hit the dyno for the first time to verify those figures.
Recording power at the rear wheels, the dyno recorded a seriously impressive 959 hp and 756 lb-ft, figures significantly higher than the 840 hp and 770 lb-ft at the crank that the Dodge Demon muscles out.
The base price for The Exorcist Camaro ZL1 from Hennessey is $117,135.
