[VIDEO] Hennessey HPE700 Corvette Stingray with 8-Speed Auto Undergoes Quarter Mile Testing

Texas-based tuner Hennessey Performance has been busy tweeking the new C7 Corvette Stingray over the last year with various packages designed to increase performance of the new sports car. Now that the 2015 model is out, Hennessey recently showed off the performance characteristics of its supercharged HPE700 package on a Corvette Stingray equipped with the new potent 8-speed automatic transmission.

Hennessey’s HPE700 package consists of a 2.3 liter supercharger system along with high flow cylinder heads and their HPE700 camshaft. Once the system is in place and the ECU is tuned, the Stingray puts out an estimated 708 bhp which translates to about 610 horsepower and 557 lbs-ft of torque at the rear wheels.

With the addition of a pair of drag radials for added grip, the HPE700 Corvette Stingray with the new 8-speed automatic ripped a 0-60 mph time in just 2.9 seconds and ran a quarter mile in a blistering 10.97 seconds at 131 miles per hour!

The video shows the quarter mile runs from a couple different vantage points, the best being behind the wheel of the Stingray. Turn up your speakers and listen for the wide-open-throttle shifts of the Hennessey HPE700 Corvette Stingray with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
