A lot of the recent work performed by Hennessey Performance Engineering has revolved around America’s coolest trucks, such as the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX and 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor. But muscle cars are still important in Texas.
The Lone Star State aftermarket icon has expressed its gratitude for the world of muscle cars in an amazingly straightforward way. Their sole 30th-anniversary vehicle build is none other than “The Exorcist,” their 1,000-horsepower remastered Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
But the Blue Oval aficionados shouldn’t be upset either, as the latest social media feature from the company revolves around a feisty crimson (with white graphics) Mustang GT. While there’s no explicit mention of the HPE800 kit, it’s pretty obvious this supercharged Ford matches the technical description. After all, Hennessey hints at it from the onset, mentioning in the title it comes with 808 horsepower.
Irrespective of the exact build, we tend to agree with the company’s description that “every 5.0-liter V8-powered Ford Mustang GT deserves a supercharger.” And we’re also glad that “Hennessey is ready to make it so,” if the ecstatic hooning on their proving grounds is included with the pre-delivery package.
For this particular unit (which is scheduled to reach Manderbach Ford, a dealership in Hamburg, Pennsylvania) this is obviously the case. In a noticeably brief video (embedded below), someone from the Hennessey crew nails every point in the supercharged Mustang dream book.
So, crank up the sound system to hear the exhaust rumble from the glorious catback stainless steel exhaust system. Then open your eyes as wide as possible to make sure one can take in as much of the CarbonAero carbon fiber pack goodies as humanly feasible.
And, in the end, make sure not to drop the jaws at the sound of the supercharger whine, the sight of smoky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 rubber, and the level of donut control enabled via the lowered suspension system...
