Like a bat out of hell, the Hennessey supercharged C7 Corvette rockets down a dragstrip, as you could imagine. But the kind people from HPE have provided video of them testing their HPE700 Supercharged ‘Vette to make everyone a believer.
The base vehicle is a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the 8-speed automatic. Hennessey slapped on some drag slicks and worked their magic with their supercharging technology, and took it to the strip to see what they’d done. Well, they’ve done pretty well.
0-60 absolutely screams by at 2.9 seconds. We could have stopped there and told you that was impressive enough, but wait there’s more. Â The quarter mile is done in 10.97 seconds at a staggering 131.3 mph. Wow. Never has an 8-speed automatic sounded so good, either, where you can easily distinguish the lighting fast blips as the car rockets down the strip.
So, what we’ve learned is if you want to surprise a 2015 Corvette Z06 driver, just give your Corvette Stingray over to the guys at Hennessey. Check out the runs in the video we’ve provided down below.

Love the sound of each shift. There is no momentum lost.
the shifting is nice and fast video such as this, however, does not involve any particular sound. Shifting is a concrete and all. Never in any video also led to sensational sound like some kind of gear changes. Some car manufacturers see special pains to avoid gear changes of a specific sound. AMG and the RS machines are among the best sound.
