Tuned goes to Sealy, TX to test Hennessey's take on the already potent Camaro ZL1, one of the loudest cars we've ever had the privilege of driving. We discuss what it's like to drive a paddle-shifted muscle car and race Hennessey's daily driver CTS-V "Hammer Wagon" down their private drag strip.

Great "documentary" for the car. ET's would've been nice to see! Especially with the 3 extra hitchhikers onboard!

Betiwin · 08-13-2012, 05:41 PM

Does it always seem like the CTS-V is faster at any similar power level to the ZL1? Why makes no sence to me. Gearing?

Boy I wish the ZL1 could have been that fast from the factory:(

Love the exhaust note! However, I don't get the headroom issue... I'm 6'1" and don't have a problem at all, but I lower the rear of the seat all the way down.
