Well Just sent my down payment in on my fun car... Car is in Houston, TX... Enclosed trailer should be picking it up tomorrow. A great car to add to our stable... Especially with the Hennessey Performance package on it. Any one have any experience with them?

That's a NASTY looking ride. I like the that it doesn't look like the car in Transformers. I've always had a soft spot for American Muscle. I think you'll enjoy it.......

That is an absolute monster on the track, faster than a 911 turbo s, .1 slower than a Ferrari f12, way faster than the M4. It's hard to get anywhere near that performance for anywhere near the price. Just sold my SS with upgraded suspension and it's the real handling deal. I'm glad Chevrolet has been making cars that aren't jokes in everything other than straight lines these days. These are so far past the half a$$ attempts at fast cars from the 90s and 2000s.

That's not American muscle. It's way more than that.

Nothing good to say about Hennessey Performance.

But the Z/28 is a great track machine, the numbers do not lie. The things I would worry about would be how well the work was done at Hennessey and the notorious LS7 valve issues. I've read about 1 Z/28 having that issue and causing it to blow.

+1. Lots of lawsuits against the company.

Beautiful car, I know you'll have a ball in it. There was one in the showroom at a chevy dealer here (already sold...) and it looked badass. You could put all your Funk & Wagnalls on that splitter.

Great look Z/28! I hope you actually take it to the road course and see how it really feels. Did this come with or without the A/C? Not that it really matters but just wondering.

652 HP with the Hennessey Treatment. I called Hennessey and they sent me all the paperwork and all the receipts for the work performed on the car plus the Dyno Sheet. Thing is a beast!

I saw 2 Z28's the last time I was at California Speedway. They look badass, but the best part is the SOUND. They sound GLORIOUS.

Congratulations OP! Killer car!
