Dodge Challenger Hellcat Gets A Shot Of Adrenalin From Hennessey

Hennessey tests the HPE1000 Challenger, which gives the already amazing muscle vehicle over 200 more horsepower, on the racetrack. Performance by Hennessey The Challenger muscle car is available in a wide range of trim levels from Stellantis' Dodge subsidiary. The Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak edition is the ultimate trim. This Challenger model is the most potent one that Dodge offers. Hennessey Performance, however, felt that greater power and performance could be provided by the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak. The Hennessey HPE 1000 is the outcome. On its YouTube channel, Hennessey Performance has a video of the first Hennessey HPE 1000 going through its final shakedown. Everything happens in the Pennzoil Proving Grounds. Upgrades To A Challenger SRT Widebody Jailbreak by Hennessey With the Dodge Challenger SRT Redeye's Jailbreak trim level, the buyer can modify both the inside and external trim of the vehicle. A bigger body and new tires are added with the Widebody trim. The Challenger SRT Redeye Jailbreak Widebody is then converted into the HPE 1000 by Hennessey by adding a high flow air intake, high flow air intake, crankcase ventilation system, ported supercharger snout, stainless steel long tube headers, high flow cats, upgraded mid pipes and fuel injectors, and the HPE calibration. These improvements increase the Challenger Redeye's horsepower from 807 to 1,000. The torque is 940 ft-lbs. After then, only the back wheels receive all of this power. HPE 1000 Gets Shaked Down Author: Hennessey This video's hosts are Mike and Alec. They are giving the first Hennessey HPE 1000 purchased by a customer one last shakedown before delivery. Mike presses the pedal from a complete stop while in drive mode to experience how it feels while driving normally. As the HPE 1000 moves along the road course, it is easy to hear the distinct sound of a supercharger. Mike and Alec claim that there is noticeable wheelspin in the first five to ten seconds after launch and that the factory Pirelli tires are easily consumed. Mike advises substituting drag radials for the factory tires. Alec remarks on the HPE 1000's extremely comfortable seats and likens them to lounging in a Lazy Boy recliner. For calmer driving, the transmission also offers a comfortable mode. Mike summarises the driving experience by saying that it is a visceral feeling that rises through your chest and lungs and makes you smile broadly. The HPE 1000 is backed by a 2-year/24,000-mile guarantee from Hennessey, so you can enjoy the added performance with some assurance.
