Eat My Grille, Godzilla!

2011 Hennessey Cadillac Escalade
Hennessey has always been known for producing the most outrageous cars. For example, they've made about a dozen Twin-Turbocharged Dodge Vipers, each having over 1,000 horsepower and each perfecting about 230 MPH. They've even done work with Ford GTs, Chevy Camaros, Nissan GT-Rs, and Cadillac CTS-Vs. Well, Hennessey recently got the crazy idea of souping up a Cadillac Escalade. They took the standard 5.3-liter 403 horsepower V8 engine, put in two massive turbochargers in it, some high flow cylinder heads, and a Hennessey HPE1000 camshaft. The output: 1000 horsepower and a 0 to 60 time of, get this, 3.3 seconds! That means that this SUV has enough power and torque to outrun a Nissan GT-R! Hennessey themselves proved this with a one-on-one drag race against Godzilla, with the result of Godzilla having his tail tied at the finish. Wow! What will Hennessey think of next? Check out the video below to see Godzilla get smoked by a Caddy.
