The Heart of the Beast
The Exorcist’s beating heart is the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4, heavily massaged by Hennessey’s engineers to unlock its inner beast. The company utilizes a high-flow supercharger forces air into the engine, meeting an upgraded intake and fuel system. Ported heads, a custom camshaft, and upgraded valves allow the LT4 to breathe fire. The result is a staggering 1,000 horsepower and 966 lb-ft of torque, leaving the stock Camaro ZL1 in its dust.
A Symphony of Speed
Hennessey’s released video showcases the Exorcist in its element, and it’s a feast for the senses. No narration, just the raw, unfiltered sound of that supercharged V8. It growls, it whines, it crackles, and it pops. This is a car that demands attention.
Performance That Speaks for Itself
The Exorcist is a force to be reckoned with on the road and the track. 0 to 60 mph falls in just 2.1 seconds; the quarter-mile is obliterated in 9.57 seconds. And the top speed? A heart-stopping 217 mph. This is a car built for speed junkies, for those who live for the rush of the open road.
A Fitting Tribute
The Camaro ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition is more than just a fast car; it’s a tribute to the Camaro’s enduring legacy. As we bid farewell to the sixth generation, Hennessey’s creation is a testament to the passion and dedication that made the Camaro an icon. It’s a reminder of the engineers, designers, and enthusiasts who poured their hearts into the platform over the years.
So, let’s raise a glass for the Camaro and the Exorcist Final Edition. It’s a fitting sendoff for a legend, a swan song that will echo in the annals of muscle car history. The Camaro may be exiting the stage, but with the Exorcist, it’s going out with a bang. This is how you send off an icon.
