ZR1 Sedan: Hennessey releases 600-800 hp packages for 2009 Cadillac CTS-V
Hennessey Performance 2009 Cadillac CTS-V - Click above for a high-res image gallery
As far as we can tell, John Hennessey and his crew have somehow warped time and space to create the 36-hour workday. With all the products the Texas-based tuner is coming out with, there's no other explanation. So in addition to creating the 705-hp Corvette ZR700, 715-hp GTR700 and a duo of force-fed Camaros, Hennessey has decided to tackle the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V – and in the process created a four-door ZR1.
The team is releasing four complete packages for Caddy's M5-fighter, ranging from a 610 hp version all the way to a twin-turbocharged 800 hp variant. You can check out each package, including horsepower, torque, mods and performance times, along with corresponding videos, after the jump. And we've also got a gallery of the fire-breathing CTS-V below.

I don't think there were many (if any) cars on the streets in the 19th century! Maybe a couple Duryeas or Benzes?

I think someone doesn't know how numbers work.
19th Century = 1800s

Are you serious? I think the new CTS-V's look fantastic.

That's an awesome pic. I think you've been sniffing too much "pollen". LOL

No idea. How about mentioning the competing Lingenfelter CTS-V package Autoblog? 630 hp for ~$2000.
Farris 8:19PM (5/01/2009)
What I don't understand is why Hennessey gets so many articles posted on Autoblog, despite the fact that just about every single one has it's comments reach triple digits with people complaining about him.
He's a crook and we don't want to hear about him anymore.

Autoblog needs to get their heads out of the sand, and stop giving undue publicity to this guy!

Didn't know about that one. Nice!
Looking at the dyno makes me drool; look at that torque curve!

@RDL
Lingenfelter does some quality work, and they've been around for a while. I had them supercharge my GTO not to long ago and the service was impeccable. They really are a good group of guys.

@ CarbonBlack
+1...Seriously Autoblog...Let's hear a little more about Lingenfelter and a little less about this douche bag named Hennessey

The 2009 CTS-V is definitely a superb piece of machinery, but Hennessey is a crook.

I'm not familiar with the story. Anybody care to summarize?
Damion R 8:35PM (5/01/2009)
Here's a brief example of the crap Hennessey pulls. Just search for "Hennessey" & "crook" or "scam" on google.

@ final426:
I just read the first couple of pages of that... What a stunning display of childishness and unprofessionalism. Lost any respect I had for him.

Is this the same scam packages that Hennessey offers for 2009 CTS-V owners?
