Because three-digit horsepower is for losers.
Now available to be ordered at a Chevrolet dealer, the Yenko/SC Supercharged Stage II Camaro boasts a 6.8-liter LT1 teased all the way up to 1000 horsepower and 875 lb-ft of torque. Developed by Specialty Vehicle Engineering, the aluminum block engine has a forged 4340 steel crankshaft and H-beam rods, forged aluminum pistons and ported LT4 heads, plus a supercharger and a stainless steel header and exhaust setup.
The Yenko Stage II Camaro makes easy work of beating a standard 6.2-liter Camaro SS, which "only" has 455 hp and 455 lb-ft from factory. There's also Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic LSD, Brembo brakes and a suspension upgraded to withstand all that power. All in all, it's an impressive package that should actually be well done given that the engine, supercharger and non-powertrain components are all backed by a three-year/36,000 mile warranty. If you want one, it's best to act fast as only 25 will be made. Then again, pricing has yet to be announced.
