I called Hennesey today and they said the 550 package costs $24,550. I just hung up the phone and laughed

I'm not knocking the Camaro so don't get your panties in a bunch, just putting it into perspective.
I agree, the mph seems low to me for the hp. My 416 rwhp ss with a 3500 raceweight went 120.25 with good heads and a C1 cam ?

yes, there is some type of warranty, but he said the total price of the kit added on to a 2ss would be 62,000. I think I would just go buy a Zo6

Hahahahaha whatever. That is insane for a 130 rwhp gain. Ok someone needs to get headwork done and throw a nasty cam in that and let loose and see what it does.

you can buy the blower, tune, air intake and exhaust worth 530 rw hp for under $10k. $24,500 gets you wheels, graphics, body kit, installation and a 3/36 warranty.

I bet they will. Most 4th gen tuners will.
