I'm not a fan of Hennessey for their business practices as we are all aware of but this is pretty funny.

Awesome. Wonder if that's 700w or at the flywheel. 556bhp supercharged LSA, ftw.

This is the second time I have seen a new GM vehicle with 700hp or more only in the 11's. I just dont understand.

well, to be fair it's very low 11s, and it doesn't appear to be on a tire either - look how squirrelly it gets during the run.

I understand that but they build them to brag about them. So why wouldnt they get everything right and lay down a killer run. Why bother saying it does low 11's but it could be faster if.... Get read of all the if's and make the best pass it can. Especially for the amount of money they are charging you for that car.

I know this is Apples to Oranges but I drove my friends 72 Chevelle @ Island's rental last Thursday.
Full Interior, No weight reduction, 383 small block, pump gas 505hp/495tq, turbo 350 trans, 3.73's on street tires, raced it without touching anything it went 11.80@116 in a 4000# car. Again, I know there are a rediculous amount of variables but an extra 200hp and not even a full second. :shrug:

probably a bone stock suspension factory rear gear. it seems to me that these new RWD GM cars either bog or spin. I have yet to see a decent launch(video wise anyway)

Stock ZR1 went 10.79 on street tires? That had less then 700hp?

CTS-V is not designed to be a drag racer.

I know its not a drag car and it probably has no suspension work but they are proudly posting videos of their 700hp going 11's, that is pathetic. If you guys are impressed, than I guess its working for them.

the 700hp rating isnt at the wheels...their "V650" makes 541hp 530tq at the wheels

"it dynoed a little over 600 rear wheel horsepower, and right at 600 rear wheel torque"
