Default Hennessey HPE600 Corvette is First C7 to Break 200 mph



Want to break the 200-mph barrier in your C7 Corvette Stingray? One option is to go with Hennessey’s HPE600 upgrade that gets you to 600 horsepower. Top that off with a 100-horsepower Nitrous Express kit to leap to 700 horsepower, and you’ve got yourself the configuration that was recently proven to take the C7 Corvette […]

Dollar cost per extra HP? Cost of a new Engine? Cost to pick up the blown off parts? Priceless

Would be nice to be able to hit 200mph, but not many places to safely do that around here. Plus I'm sure the price is not cheap on top of a new C7.

Still, heck of an engineering accomplishment.

I have to assume he started off in 3rd, only made 5 shifts to top end.

Impressive achievement

Pretty sure he started in 1st and hit 200 at the top of fifth. Will need to check again. The vette gearing is too tall to hit top speed in seventh.
