Camaro ZL1 1LE Conversion Turned Over To Customer
The Hennessey Exorcist is a potent Camaro ZL1 1LE conversion that makes the factory model look and feel slow. The owner of this Exorcist experienced this first-hand when she rode shotgun with Davion, Hennessey’s Technician Team Lead. Davion took the new owner and the Exorcist to the Pennzoil Provings Grounds sitting just next to their facility to show her the performance level of her converted Camaro.
During the entire intense drive, the owner can’t help but smile as Davion pilots the car on the track. This is especially true each time Davion pushes the Hennessey Exorcist a bit further. The owner appeared like a proud mother to a newborn child as she confidently smirks while Camaro ZL1 1LE conversion tear through the asphalt and accelerating like there is no tomorrow.
The Exorcist Is A Greater Muscle Car Than Camaro ZL1 1lE

Thanks to its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering 650 hp of max output and 650 lb-ft of peak torque, the Camaro ZL1 1lE can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and complete a quarter mile in just 11.7 seconds. However, the Exorcist does things much better. As per Hennessey, the Exorcist can zoom from 0 to 60 mph in 2.1 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 9.57 seconds at 147 mph. It can also go as fast as 217 mph.
Thanks to various upgrades, the Exorcist can deliver 1,000 hp of max output and 883 lb-ft of peak torque. Hennessey made this possible by implementing a high-flow supercharger upgrade and installing a high-flow air induction system, a custom HPE camshaft, and ported Cylinder Heads. Hennessey also upgraded a number of the car’s components.
Tuned And Tested On Road And Dyno
Tuned with HPE Engine Management Calibration and tested on the road and dyno, the Exorcist comes with a serial-numbered engine bay plaque, as well as Hennessey and Exorcist exterior badging. Hennessey will build just 100 examples of Exorcist which is available as a complete turnkey vehicle. Interestingly, this Exorcist is Hennessey’s 13th completed example.
