As fast as the regular Camaro ZL1 may be (actually, it's the fastest and most powerful series-production Camaro ever built), there's one company that believers there's always room for improvement: Hennessey Performance.
The Texas-based tuner offers four different packages for the 580hp Camaro ZL1 named HPE650, HPE700, HPE800 and HPE1000, with the numbers (approximately) representing the output of the car's 6.2-liter supercharged V8.
In Hennessey Performance's latest video, the founder of the company, John Hennessey, took some time off to show us the 2013 Camaro ZL1 with the HPE700 package that boosts the V8's grunt to 707bhp at 6,300 rpm on the crank in action.
There's also a second clip featuring the same manual gearbox model on the dyno, where it managed to spin the rollers at 678-horses and 601 lb-ft of peak torque at the rear wheels.

This is only a 378 cubic inch engine, I hope GM and Chevrolet put their new 427ci engine in this car next year, that would make it a true ZL1. And it would probably come close to 700 hp right off the line. :-)
Then offer it with a beefed up version of the all-wheel drive system they're putting in the Cadillacs, with maybe a 70% rear bias, and give it a real computer control performance system, like the GT-R, so you could get all that power to the ground, then you would really have something special.
