Hennessey says its new Exorcist Camaro ZL1 is “built to cast out the Demon”. Prepare for one of the greatest muscle car rivalries ever.

With a Chevrolet 6.2-litre supercharged LT4 V8 tuned to produce a whopping 745kW/1310Nm to pull it along, the Exorcist is sounding bad enough to strangle Dodge’s newest monster.

Just a bit better than the standard ZL1’s 485kW/881Nm.

The Exorcist’s name is no coincidence, nor is the music used in its reveal video. If it’s on the Highway to Hell, it’s got a few days to get there before the Demon comes out to play.

Founder and president, John Hennessey says the Exorcist will deliver 0-100km/h times under 3 seconds, and run the quarter in less than 10.

But GM fans with cash to burn will likely be happy to drop the cash if it means showing up Dodge at the strip.
