If for some strange reason you find that the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible SS doesn't quite pack the punch you need, Hennessey has you covered. The Texas tuner has officially pulled the sheets back on the very first example of the company's HPE600 Camaro Convertible, complete with a walloping 602 horsepower. That's a full 172 ponies more than the most powerful production version, and the nudge in grunt comes courtesy of a TVS2300 supercharger and host of other upgrades designed to help the big V8 breathe a little easier.

As we've come to expect from Hennessey, the company's wrenches also turned their attention toward the vehicle's suspension, and buyers who opt for the muscle-bound droptop can expect to find a KW adjustable coilover suspension and wider 20-inch wheels wrapped in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

Hennessey says that the topless wonder is good for dashing to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and can clip off the quarter mile run in 12 seconds flat at 118 mph. That's moving. Hit the jump to take a look at a video of the car in action as well as the full press release.
