Hennessey’s Twin-Turbo C8 – Corvette Mike | Used Chevrolet Corvettes for Sale

Our team met this morning to discuss how we are going to move ahead with the COVID-19 outbreak. Per California law, we have decided to remain open for business to serve our valued customers.

Hennessey has installed Twin-Turbos on a C8

Hennessey Performance, the Texas-based tuner known for revving up GM and other automobiles, has already taken delivery of a C8 and installed a set of turbos as a proof of concept.

Hennessey unveiled its latest build in a teaser video showing the in-process C8 going through first stage testing, while attached to a dyno at the shop. The numbers they sow are 643.1hp and 570.1 torque. These are not bad numbers considering GM has not opened up the computer yet to 3rd party programming.

This is just the start for Hennessey’s modifications, as the company promised enthusiasts they’d be able to boost the figure up to a staggering 1,200 horsepower at the crank. That’s well more than the stock 495 horses in the Z51.

Just a side note, GM is rumored to be producing a ZR1 variant that will likely feature a twin-turbocharged flat-plane-crank V8 producing in excess of 800hp, and a Hybrid that will have over 1,000hp on tap. But who wants to wait when you can get 1,200hp now!

Hennessey has not announced pricing information yet, but the upgrade could cost up to $35,000 or more.

C8 Screw Gouges Door?

We have only heard of one incident so far, but the customer had a screw gouge the paint on his door. The screw comes from the wheel well near the front fender of the door. Apparently, one of the screws holding in the inner liner for the wheel well stuck out far enough to not just scratch the paint but gouge it down to the fiberglass.

What Mike likes about this Corvette:
“I was just opening the doors to Corvette Mike in early ‘82 just before the C4 was introduced; the first all-new Corvette design in 14 years. And just like forming Corvette Mike changed my life, the new design was a game-changer for Chevrolet! Here was an American sports car that could finally compete with everything Europe and Japan had to offer, at a relatively affordable price!

I like this 1995 as it benefited from changes Chevy made over the years and a lower profile. There is just something to be said about sitting in the cockpit of Corvette and manually shifting through the gears!!!

We just took this one trade and are accepting all reasonable offers to get your mind off the virus and on the road. Life goes on this will be over soon but the enjoyment of owning a Corvette is Life Altering and everlasting!!!”

Check out our great financing options.

Happy Throttling!

1995 black corvette coupe interior

We just got this ’95 in on trade for a ZR-1 and we have to say, it’s one of the nicer examples we’ve seen in quite a while. This former show car has been well cared for and looks it! It’s been serviced and is ready for Spring cruising!

1995 black corvette coupe engine

For those of us that feel that the only way to shift a transmission is manually, you’re in luck, as this is one of the rare, less than 25% in ’95, 6-Speed manuals produced. It mates perfectly to the LT1 engine and is a blast to drive! Options include; electronic climate control, Delco/Bose Gold Series CD audio system, dual power seats and tinted windows (added).
