Vehicle Description
2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Hennessy 750 Convertible
Ford has their performance houses, Saleen, Steeda, Roush. And
Chevrolet has a few of its own with performance upgrades often
being associated with some well known names. Lingenfelter, SLP,
Yenko, Callaway, and Hennessy. And while Hennessy is not limited to
Chevrolet, some well known mods have been applied to Chevys. From
their website: " Hennessey� Performance was founded more than 30
years ago and has been focused on pioneering automotive performance
ever since. Hennessey� has modified more than 15,000 cars and
trucks since opening in 1991."
For consignment, a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Hennessy 750
convertible with a title verified 7,436 actual miles. Start with an
already potent ZL1 and let Hennessy work its magic, and some
$25,000 later you have a 708hp beast of a car that not only goes
like stink and handles like a train on rails, but looks good doing
it! And on this version, you can put the top down for an open air
adrenaline rush of performance and speed.
Exterior
If you're going to be fast, you might as well be red too, and this
Camaro glistens with two stage Victory Red, augmented here by some
extra black highlights from both the factory and added later. The
bulge in the hood is home to heat extractor vents and framed in
black based carbon fiber and additional black is found highlighting
the fender gills in back, the panel behind and between the tail
lights, the rear air splitter and exhaust tips, the rocker panel,
the canvas top, and of course, the 20-inch wheels wrapped in
staggered sized tires with a date code no later than late 2019. The
steeply raked A-pillar and windshield create a dramatic chopped
profile, and the canvas top gladly complies, sending a sloping rear
window down to meet the trunk lid where you'll find a third brake
light and shark fin antenna. With the top down, just the top of the
seats protrude past the shoulder line and a deep cavernous cabin is
behind the large doors. Everything is in fantastic, straight
condition and as expected, only chin scrapes make the imperfection
list upon our review.
Interior
Piano black inserts brighten black plastic doors, and red stitching
on the armrest adds a bit of pizazz and naturally migrates over to
the front buckets seats which employ Alcantara on the inserts and
leather covering robust cushioning on the sides with ample side
bolstering and a tall, Hennessey embroidered head restraints. The
2+2 in back gets pretty substantial structure too for this canyon
carving configuration. A contoured steering wheel frames square
coves that house the gauges in front, while most of the switchgear
is found in the center including the touchscreen with AM/FM radio,
MyLink, Bluetooth and XM capability, along with dials controlling
interior air flow and finally a quad pack of gauges reminiscent of
early Z28's, all backlit in blue with red trim like something out
of TRON. There's more red stitched Alcantara on the dash and red
stitched leather wrapping the stout shifter in the center console.
Low pile black carpet is protected by Hennessy branded mats and the
trunk is protected by a Camaro branded rubber mat, and everything
we just described is in like new condition. Everything.
Drivetrain
Okay, here we go. Here's where Hennessy's magic wand really goes to
work. Out of the factory, the supercharged 6.2 liter LSA V8 under
the hood was good for 580 horsepower. Fine, but then it went to the
massage parlor where it received Hennessy's upper and lower
supercharger pulley, their heat exchanger and tank, a custom HPE
cam, and stage 3 ported aluminum heads. And all that results in a
dyno proven 708 horsepower. Talk about a happy ending! Now, it's
married to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual transmission and power
reaches the limited slip rear with 3.73 gears. And obviously, until
they invent something better, power disc brakes occupy the front
and rear wheels. A strut tower brace and some other additions dress
up an already attractive engine bay where red and black are once
again the color palette.
Undercarriage
Additional braces stiffen the body and stainless steel headers
begin the exhalation process which end up in stainless mufflers
right before exiting through four black Corsa tips. Suspension
consists of MacPherson struts up front and coils springs with 4.5
link rear suspension on the independent back. No oil is evident and
no dirt either.
Drive-Ability
A turn of the key ignites a thunderstorm that had heads turning as
we rolled this ungodly beast onto the test loop. You don't have to
be Colombo to figure out what comes next. The ridiculous potential
of raucous speed is underfoot and a blip of the gas pedal in second
gear is enough evidence that gears 3 through 6 would be
exponentially more radical. Hey, we just want to make sure the
radio works! It did, and so did everything else including the
brakes and suspension, and we're satisfied to put King Kong back in
his cage. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
A plaque on the dash says this car is serial number 17. We're
guessing that's not 17 of very many. Beginning with an uncommon ZL1
of which only 7,956 were produced in 2013, and that includes
hardtops and convertibles, it's safe to say this is a rare specimen
and a rip roaring upgrade over an already legendary Camaro model.
If you have the need for speed, if you're goosed by boost, then
hold on to your hat, because this is one special drop top looking
for a new stable.
