			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re in Europe and you’ve been dying to get your hands on <a href="http://chevroletcarblog.com/chevrolet-corvette-zr-1-conquers-nurburgring-almost.htm">a Corvette ZR1</a>, you may be in for quite a challenge. Shortage of the model’s demand is reported today. It might not be able to meet the European demand. No worries, GeigerCars came up with a solution. After all, they’re not nicknamed the “German tuner of American Iron” for nothing. The company tinkered with the Corvette Grand Sport and was able to boost it up to near-ZR1 levels.  </p>
<p>First of all, GeigerCars installed a 6.2L V8 engine on the Grand Sport. This boosted the car’s power from 430HP to a tantalizing 588HP on the tracks. This definitely made it possible for Gieger GS to hit the 60-mark in less than 4 seconds. It might not be quite as fast or powerful as the ZR1 supercar, but 639 horsepower and a 3.3 sprint are certainly figures worth boasting about.   </p>

<p><span id="more-89"></span>The Corvette Grand Sport has always been a fast favorite among car lovers, but car fans agree that it has never looked this great. The company also offers package deals for the model. You can purchase the car with a supercharger for only €16,450 and modify its transmission ratio for €2,800. </p>
<p>GiegerCars is famed for its love affair with American car models, especially the Hummer. In the past, it has made <a href="http://hummerblog.org/">strange Hummer variants</a> like the Christmas-themed H2 and <a href="http://hummerblog.org/2009/04/geigercars-fastest-hummer-cop-car">the 700 HP H2 specifically designed for a Sheriff in Texas</a>. Its latest creation, right before the Grand Sport modification, was the Hummer H2 Bomber.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS comes packed with a power plant that can boot up to 400 or 426 horsepower depending on the transmission coupled with it.</p>
<p>Some people just cannot be simply satisfied and ask for more. Tuners like Hennessey Engineering based in Houston enters the picture if voids should be filled.</p>
<p>The auto craftsmen of Hennessey came up with the HPE550 Camaro. The formula comes into reality with the bolting of a supercharger from Magnuson/Hennessey plus a stainless Corsa exhaust system to the LS3 V8 of <a href="http://www.gmautoblog.com/">General Motors</a>.  The set up boosts the output of the engine to 562 horsepower with a torque of 557 lb-ft revving at 4200 rpm.</p>
<p><a href="http://chevroletcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hennessey-hpe550-camaro.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-38" title="Hennessey HPE550 Camaro" src="http://chevroletcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hennessey-hpe550-camaro-500x333.jpg" alt="Hennessey HPE550 Camaro" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>The configuration done by the Hennessey team brings the Camaro from zero  to sixty miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. The stock production version of the Camaro SS hits the mark in 5.0 seconds.</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span>The new set up of the Camaro will leaver everyone behind in a quarter mile race where it averages 11.9 seconds on a top speedometer reading of 119mph.</p>
<p>The smile it brings to your face comes with the pimping comes with a punch to the bank account. If you look at the aerodynamics pack, aluminum wheels, fuel injectors, and air induction parts, these sum up to around $19000 not inclusive of shipping. That price also does not include installation.</p>
<p>Camaro owners do not need to grease their hands up if it is okay to shell out around $31000 to hire the team Hennessey to do all the works.</p>
