    Bugatti Veyron to be Modified by Hennessey

    An interesting little project that Hennessey has decided to do.

    I don't understand why someone would actually try that. Change a perfectly good thing.

    Hennessey is a con man. Death to him. Death to the Veyron.

    hmm I guess he's developing an exhaust system because he couldn't add anymore turbos to the engine.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Wow, someone has to find Matra's post about this, hold on, I'm going to look.

    (I think it was Matra)

    EDIT: Well, can't find it.. but I think Matra or someone said a while back, "I can't wait for the first rapper to get his hands on this and update the exhaust to get an extra 2 hp, just so he can have the most powerful Veyron in the world."

    I'm sure John Hennessay knows something that VAG engineers (who spent years and many, many, many millions developing the car) missed...
    Thanks for all the fish

    Think about it this way...would you respond positively if you heard of someone about to modify a Mclaren F1?
    Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.

    Terrible build quality, selling parts of customer's cars and then not doing any work on them...

    Sure it may seem a stupid and pointless thing to do, but its a waste of time b*tching about it. It doesn't affect any of us. The only thing I would actually have against it is that they'd be messing with the originality of the masterpieces that both the McLaren and the Bugatti are. But in the end, who gives a crap. They're both just aerodynamic heaps of ultralight material anyway.
