Sure, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 boasts 755 horsepower, but is that really enough power to keep you happy? If your answer is "no," look no further than Specialty Vehicle Engineering's Yenko/SC Stage II Corvette upgrade. It takes a standard 460-horsepower 2019 Corvette Grand Sport and cranks it up to 1,000 horsepower.

While plenty of aftermarket companies can offer ludicrously powerful cars, what's interesting about this Yenko upgrade is that it can be ordered directly through any Chevrolet dealership when you order your new Corvette. The car goes from Chevy to Specialty Vehicle Engineering, and then back to the dealership for you to pick it up completed. Specialty Vehicle Engineering, which was formerly known as SLP, has a 25-year history doing this type of "Second Stage Vehicle Manufacturer" business with General Motors dealerships. It also offers supercharging packages for the Camaro, Tahoe/Suburban and Escalade.

    Pricing for a car with a seven-speed manual transmission starts at $68,995, while buyers who want an automatic transmission will pay $77,995 -- on top, of course, of the price of buying a Corvette Grand Sport donor car. That's a big chunk of cash, but note that you're partly paying for exclusivity: Speciality Vehicle Engineering will sell just 25 copies of the Yenko/SC Stage II car.
