03/09 Car & Driver (Hennessey HPE600 Turbo)
Just opened the new Car & Driver. There is a quick (2-page) article on the Hennessey Challenger HPE600 Turbo.
At 6 psi boost, they claim 620hp and 650 lb/ft. Good for a 12.2 in the 1/4 mile. Price as tested? $97,690. Yikes!
Best line in the article:
"In the movie 'Dr. Stangelove', Slim Pickens waves his cowboy hat as he rides a nuclear weapon dropped from a bomber. Now we know how he felt."
