FOR FULL COMPARISON @ INSIDELINE.COM: http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... Hennessey Camaro Dyno Test Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Hennessey Camaro SS Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... These are the heavy hitters. The big dogs. They're not playmakers or finesse artists and they don't dish out assists. If the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is Dick Butkus snuffing out a Jim Brown thrust up the middle, then the 2010 Hennessey Performance Engineering Chevy Camaro SS HPE550 is Lawrence Taylor with radar lock on Joe Theismann's right leg. And it's not just that they're powerful and merciless, but intentionally provocative and intimidating, too. On looks alone, either of these cars is enough to make the drivers of other machines cower like a three-legged Labradoodle. They are, of course, muscle cars in the rawest, most vicious sense of the term. And they're quicker, faster, meaner and flat nastier than anything built back when Ol' Shel and Don Yenko were just guys. And not by a little bit either. But which is the better beast? To find out, we drove these two all-Americans on the street, at our test track and on the Dynojet chassis dyno at MD Automotive in Westminster, California. Then we did some big smoky burnouts just to piss off the Sierra Club. By the time we were through, Greenpeace had threatened to blockade the Inside Line garage and the Obama administration was seriously considering a unilateral deployment of the fun police. Didn't matter. By then the tires were shot and we had our winner.

chevy performance would do a better job and the z28 thats coming out with have the cts-v engine and shelby is also the higher class division of fords so this is not the case saying fords are better than chevys or chevys are better than fords

@ParisTNDude are you slow or something?

@ParisTNDude Skidpad for the 2010 Camaro IRS is far from something to brag about.

@ParisTNDude The 5.7L in the last gen F-Bodies might be quicker stock, but the Build Quality was so poor word got out you couldn't keep the F-Bodies from falling apart.

@drfaticus Is that how many YOUR Ford truck has on it? Get back to me when your's gets to 217,000.

@ParisTNDude What im saying is, you can walk into a FORD dealership and buy a SHELBY Mustang. On the other hand, this Hennesey Camaro has nothing to do with Chevy.
