When a new performance ride hits the market, like the 2014 Corvette Stingray,
it is only a matter of time before Hennessey engineers get to cracking
the code to drawing more horsepower from it. About a month after GM
unveiled the all-new Corvette Stingray earlier this year, Hennessey let us in on the secret that it planned to tune the new sports car to upwards of 1,000 horsepower in several stages.
Today,
just five months after making that bold announcement, Hennessey has
outlined the details of its new HPE tuning programs for the Stingray.
We are just a tad bit impressed, as Hennessey created four equally
amazing kits for the Corvette that pushes it to between 600 and 1,000
ponies. So, if the stock 455-horsepower output just isn’t enough for
you, you can rest assured that Hennessey has the right kit for you.
What’s
great about Hennessey programs is that its engineers and designers
never focus solely on muscle. They also turn their attention to updating
the suspension, braking and aesthetics to help push the envelope of
performance a little further.

Exterior
As standard, the only exterior modifications that
Hennessey adds to the Corvette are badges for the body and a
serial-number plaque on the engine cover. And that’s good for us, as the
Stingray’s exterior is plenty sexy straight off of the factory line.
However,
if you really want your new Corvette to stand out, Hennessey will be
happy to oblige with a laundry list of optional add-on components.
Hennessey will slap on various CarbonAero carbon-fiber body upgrades,
including a front spoiler, a rear lip spoiler, a hood with a large
central vent for additional cooling and reduced lift, and side sills for
a more aggressive look — as if the Stingray really needs to look more
aggressive...
