If you’re looking for that jolt of adrenaline to get you going, watch this dyno video of the 2019 ZR1 Chevrolet Corvette HPE1000 making a full pull to the tune of 905 HP.

The way boutique supercar companies are dropping 1,000HP supercars, to me, means that there’s a market out there for people who want it all at whatever price: supercar looks, power, and with a warranty. But what about that middle ground of people who have a bit of cash to spend, still want that level of power, but aren’t exactly in the market for an Aston Martin Valkyrie. According to Hennessey Performance and the latest dyno video they dropped earlier this week (Apr. 17,2019), their 2019 ZR1 Chevrolet Corvette HPE1000 is now dyno confirmed hitting 903 HP and 844 lb-ft making it just as fast as those boutique hypercars on paper but at, presumably, the fraction of the price.

Check out the dyno video for yourself below.

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the supercar bargain of the century at the moment with an MSRP of just $119,995.  A smidge over a hundred grand gets you a fire-breathing 755 HP and 715 lb-ft in arguably the fastest front-engine RWD configuration Corvette ever. Hennessey Performance dyno tested a stock ZR1 laying down just 654 HP and 645 lb-ft.

And, with the HPE1000 package, on regular 93 Shell pump gas, Hennessey Performance pumped those numbers up to 905 HP and 844 lb-ft to the rear, an increase of +251 HP and +199 lb-ft.

Pricing has not been released on the HPE1000 upgrade kit but consider that, at one point, Hennessey Performance had a similar, if not the exact same ‘Vette for sale on eBay for $195,000. You can do the maths, the HPE1000 kit will probably set you back at least $75,000.

Of course, like most of Hennessey Performance’s upgrades, you do get a 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Limited Warranty.

What do you think about Hennessey’s supercar beater? Do you think that, at around $200,000 for the ZR1+ the upgrades, 903 HP to the rear wheels is worth it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
