I thought we were going to get to see the SS hit 150, but we only get two quick appearances.

Got to love the C7, it's just one serious beast. I think by far it's one of my favorite vettes in a while

I didn't notice if it was mentioned, but is this C7-Z51/MRS stock? No tune, etc.?

Just paste the entire youtube URL in your post.

The HPE600 package is essentially a light tune, and this specific car has a bit of nitrous as well.

Just watched this from an email sent to me, all I can say is WOW :bowing::3tens:

I did see the button and thought it could be nitrous, but changed my mind because it looked to "fast and furious" to me. LOL

From the last para in the press release: "In addition to the 200-mph C7, Hennessey also brought out its first HPE600 supercharged Chevrolet SS that, despite being gear-limited, easily achieved 164.2 mph on the Grand Parkway." Somewhat surprised...SS should be able to easily hit 165 stock...

I agree, especially when a member hit 155mph on a stock SS.

Motortrend has a small write-up with some pics of the SS. I still don't understand the "gear limited to 164". Were they hitting the rev limiter?

The HPE600 package is heads/cam along with headers and a dyno tune. I dont know where the guy who wrote the article got his info from.

Im surprised no one noticed the black overlays on the bowtie on the SS

I was just about to mention that. Thought it was an improvement.

The C7 was so mesmerizing that I about missed the SS's cameo...

Did you notice the state troopers Challenger SRT? Oh!, did I say a bad word?

I call BS on only hitting 164 when I got to 155 easy. Something is not right, but I did offer up my car to Hennessey Performance today, so lets see if I get a reply. I would like to get a tune with limiter removed to see what the car can truly push before the mods begin.

I think it's electronically limited to 164 not transmission limited.

This is the reason I want the tune to remove the limiter. The current limiter from what I have read is at 160/161, so i would think that they modified or removed the limiter specs.
