TWO HENNESSEY CAMAROS WITH NO RESERVE
TEXAS HORSEPOWER
2019 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1 HENNESSEY CUSTOM EDITION "EXORCIST" – NO RESERVE
2019 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1 HENNESSY CUSTOM EDITION "RESURRECTION" – NO RESERVE
Style, noise and a whole lot of go –
that’s what this Camaro duo headed
to Barrett-Jackson’s inaugural
Houston Auction with No Reserve
are all about. These are machines
built to satisfy the needs of any
horsepower fiend; cars that offer
no reservations, only experiences.
Welcome to Texas, home of
Hennessey Performance, purveyors
of speed and creators of “The
Exorcist” and “The Resurrection.”
These two vehicles are here to
exorcise any demon, be they on
road or track.
The very name “The Exorcist” is
designed to poke fun and rouse
the ire of Dodge’s quarter-mile-
mauling 840-horsepower Demon.
After all, the job of The Exorcist
is to vanquish the Demon – and
vanquish it shall, with horsepower
in the four-digit range and enough
torque to twist the very earth
beneath you as you cry hellfire
and let slip the dogs of war.
Hennessey took the standard,
already quite quick Camaro ZL1
and properly upped the ante. In
standard trim, the ZL1’s 6.2-liter
LT4 V8 produces 650 supercharged
horses. Hennessey, compelled by
the power of forced induction,
increases output by an additional
350 horsepower, for a dyno proven
result of 1,000 horsepower and 883
ft/lbs of torque.

Key to all that power are a
number of specially engineered
components that include a high-
flow supercharger, ported cylinder
heads, upgraded pushrods and
lifters, as well as a new camshaft,
new stainless-steel long-tube
headers, a new high-flow air intake
and Hennessey engine management
calibration. Press the start button
and the engine fires to life with a
menacing growl, letting you know
you’re in something serious.
The Exorcist boasts performance
that will truly make heads turn.
Hennessey claims a 0-60 time of
2.1 seconds and a tear down the
quarter-mile in 9.57 seconds at
147 mph. But this Camaro does
not rest; it continues its frontal
assault all the way to a top speed
of 217 mph. Horsepower really is a
wonderful thing. The Exorcist is a
2019 example finished in Riverside
Blue with black stripes and a
black leather interior. Fitted with
a 6-speed manual transmission,
this example is #46 of 100 Exorcist
Camaros made and, as of this - - -
writing, features just 467 miles.
But the story doesn’t end there. HENNESSEY, COMPELLED BY THE POWER
For the true speed junkies among OF FORCED INDUCTION, INCREASES OUTPUT

alternative: “The Resurrection,”
Hennessey’s idea of the perfect FOR A DYNO PROVEN RESULT OF 1,000
evolution of The Exorcist. HORSEPOWER AND 883 FT/LBS OF TORQUE.
