About two weeks ago, Hennessey Performance released information and test results for its modified 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Dubbed the ZR700, the 705-horsepower beast ripped off a 10.9-second quarter mile on stock tires. Not bad.
Now Hennessey has released more video of its ZR700 in action. This time it was in the hands of former GM driver John Heinricy as he lapped the MSR road course in Houston. He hits a cool 145mph on the back straight. Not bad.

SSShhhhooooootttt! I do that twice a month in my 8 year old Z06. Not quite with the one-handed technique of Mr Hein-racey, tho. More like white knuckles, wettin the seat kind of steerin wheel handlin'. like the late Mr Donohue(who would be quite proud of his son, by the way) used to say, You have enough power when you can lay downtwo black stripes from the exit of the last turn to the brake point of Turn 1. Nice illustration by Hennessy boys.
