    Hennessey Corvette ZR1: World's Quickest Blue Devil

    Everyone's favorite Viper tuner Hennessey has reached out, left its shell, and made a few new friends. One of those new friends is the Corvette ZR1, and the results are spectacular.

    With the usual round of tuner tweaks, Hennessey has cranked the ZR1 from a crazy full-bore hypercar to a "We're going to hell in four dimensions" doom rocket. With a basic intake, pulley, tune and exhaust, the ZR1's output screams up to 705 HP and 717 LB-ft of torque in a completely streetable, reliable package.

    The first part of the clip has the drag launch money shot. You'll enjoy it.
