Yeah that skidpad is complete ****, laughable even.

I'll take the GT500 Super Snake over that all day. Same price, stock GT500 isn't even close to Hennesseys Camaro in price.

Wow that kinda sucks, I hope someone can sort out the suspension and make it a handler, it has potential "on paper". The freakin cobalt SS scored a .93 on the skid pad and it's wrong wheel drive!! Looks like i might just have to skip on the 5th gen and gen me a mini mountain killer cobalt

I like the new look for the GT500 too, it's alot more refined then the last version.

This is Hennessey's fault, not GMs:
"The HPE550's humongous 275/40R20 front tires are so big that they deaden the steering and there's no real payoff in instantaneous turn-in. Combine that with Hennessey's suspension package, which features springs that are too stiff and shocks that are under-damped, and the result is a car that never feels settled or comfortable over any surface"

As someone that drives a vehicle every day that rides like ****, its just not worth it. I don't care what anyone says, the tradeoff for a DD will never be reached.

I'm glad the Camaro lost. Hopefully people will stop thinking that worthless pos that built the car knows wtf he's talking about.

That looked like a 122HH on the camaro. I thought it was supposed to be a TVS?

that Camaro looked sick. as for handling, i could care less. ride quality is another story. id have to drive 'em both to pick one, but more power is the cure for anything in my book

Does anyone think that 275's are a little narrow for that camaro?
