Is too much horsepower a bad thing? Is there such a thing as too much power? We raise these eternal questions thanks to the 2010 Hennessey HPE1000 Twin-Turbo Camaro and it's insane power rating of 847hp and 801 lb-ft of torque - at the rear wheels.
If that is a tad too crazy for you, consider the tame HPE800, which produces a mild 815 horsepower and 788 pound-feet of torque at the motor. Surely that will be a more reasonable grocery getter.
Check out the video below to see the HPE1000 laying down the goods on a dyno. We're surprised the sheer torque didn't alter the rotation of the earth, or at least Hennessey's shop.
