Announced at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, SMS Supercars has added a Camaro to its roster that already includes Ford Mustangs and Dodge Challengers. Before I continue, I want to make sure we’re clear that when I say SMS I mean the SMS that stands for it’s founder, Steve Mark Saleen, who also serves as the namesake for another brand with which he has no affiliation. Mr. Saleen has been a superstar in the world of supercars since he began tuning professionally in 1983, and his reputation for excellence has been solid since.

Saleen’s (the man, not the company eluded to above) reputation should be cemented further with the SMS 620 Camaro. The 620’s engine is alleged to give 575 hp. If this is a little weak for your tastes, you can get 715 horses if you make the leap to the 620X version. I guess the 620X could be classified as a superdupercar.  You can get yourself either version in mid-2010. And, if you can’t buy one, hopefully you’ll get the pleasure of feeling the breeze of one of these babies blowing by on a highway near you.

The HPE550 - a 562hp beast

Texas-based Hennessey Performance Engineering is giving the 2010 Camaro a shot in the arm – and the shot it pure juice.

The 2010 Hennessey HPE550 Chevrolet Camaro adds a Magnuson/Hennessey supercharger to the already powerful base Camaro SS – the result, a 136hp boost. The HPE550 boasts an incredible 562hp with 557lb-ft of torque. According to Hennesy, the HPE550 can hit 60mph in 4.1 seconds – .7s faster than the production SS.

A diy version of the HPE550 will run you around $47K, a turnkey version warranted by Hennessey for 3 years/36,000 miles starts at $59K.
