Hennessey ZR700 Corvette

[Kitdy]

So remember that Hennesey Camaro with the tuned LS9? This is their ZR1 with it.

The massaged LS9 features a upgraded supercharger pulley and blower snout (boosting boost from 11 psi to 14 psi), and intercooler upgrade, K and N air filter, stainless steel headers, high flow cats, and a reprogrammed ECU. This results in 705 hp and 717 lb-ft of torque; the quarter mile in 11.03 @ 136 mph.

Another further pumped up ZR1 is in the works called the ZR750 with 755 hp and 730 lb-ft.

As much as I admire the car, I would never in a million years hand anything over to Hennesey.

I really do like the car though.

It's not all about power. You also need handling to match it.

Good thing they used a car that can handle ;)

Yeah that's kind of my point. I'm not really impressed. You can always stick more horses under the hood. But do you need to?

Thank you, sir!
That being said, I really like the Ford GT 1000hp that they did.

not to mention what a shady rip off artist douchebag john hennesey is... hennesey FTL!!

That's about the only impressive thing they've built in recent years. Their Vipers have pretty much become the same thing as the older ones.

I'm not pointing out that the ZR1's handling is bad but to see my point.

Try a 1000 hp muscle car with stock suspension in it and try to drive it around a windy track.

Let's see if unnecessarily added power will help your laptimes.

Wonder if Hennessey will ever embrace alternate energies? Highly doubt it.

Those are unheard of in Texas. The only alternative fuel there is Chuck Norris' fury.

Never knowing Hennessey.

i wonder if he'll embrace honest business practices...
hahahaha yeah, no.

Yeah. That'll be about the same day the Pope jumps out of the closet as a ragingly flamboyant homosexual and declares Amsterdam to be the new Vatican State.

What is all this about?
Was it a specific event, or is Hennesey just known as untrustworthy in general?

[Rasmus]

He's an absolute wanker.

Lately he's done his rounds on some of the Cherokee, 300C and Challenger SRT8 forums acting like a spoiled 8 year old with ADHD on a serious sugar high and missing a few chromosomes. Like in this thread:
