Anyone have any thoughts on the new Yenko?

Pretty nasty! Was a price revealed?

Z/28Dan · 01-23-2015, 07:33 AM

Only 50 being made. They are going to be pricey, but what a car. Similar in scarcity as the Hurst Camaro, these are going to be stored away for the future collectors I'll bet. It would be like spotting a unicorn if you ever saw one out in the light.

Very nice.

I am pretty jealous of you OP... SLP puts out some of the best looking 5th Gens IMO, and the Yenko is another example of it. The SLP ZL1 & the new Yenko are my favorite looking cars to date. I am in the process of making my SS resemble the SLP ZL1 now.

Kevlar382 · 01-23-2015, 08:05 AM

The car GM should have built as the Z/28. Better yet the ZL1 should have been the Z/28 and this should have been the ZL1. Just a thought.

Happy_Dan · 01-23-2015, 08:24 AM

Yea, I have thoughts. The Hamburger family does things right and this car is no exception. Awesome car, just wish I could afford one.
Just and FYI - SLP is not them. That was sold. It is SVE now. That is the company that did this car and acquired the rights to the name.

Decent write up and pics here: http://www.autoblog.com/2014/11/05/s...harged-camaro/

And here: http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/11/...eiled-at-sema/

Most are estimating $95k+. Definitely an incredible car.

vicnkathy · 01-23-2015, 08:43 AM

Just a fyi.......Ed Hamburger no longer owns the company or has anything to do with SLP, nor does his family. I was sold 2 years ago lock stock and barrel to Jack Roush. Yeah, the Ford guy.

Here is the SVE website: http://specialtyvehicleengineering.com

it might be a good car, but why slap the Yenko name on it.

Because SOME people will pay more for that name! Exclusivity comes at a steep price.

Just look at all the Yenko clones out there.

justjoshin · 01-23-2015, 09:20 AM

Anyone looking for a ZL1 takeout motor, they have one on their ebay store now. I guess it was taken out for one of these Yenko builds.

Raven87 · 01-23-2015, 09:27 AM

Just received an email from David Hamburger at SVE. The Yenko package is $43,500 plus options added to your ZL1 price. They are only doing these on 2015's and your car must be less than 5k miles.

Mark T · 01-23-2015, 09:44 AM

I wonder what it would cost without all those Yenko badges all over the car?
