Well, let's see...
The original post about the 1,000HP Hennessey C7 is almost 2 YEARS OLD. Then we have Hennessey's richly deserved BAD reputation....
And now, we have a Hennessey Z06, which is NOT the same car as the original "chime in with your thoughts" (from April 2015) used for this Z06. The CF editors may want to research what they use for click bait on the front page....just sayin'
Doesn't this guy steal viper motors for living?? I have heard nothing good about them after doing a little digging when looking for a place to do some mods.
I agree that their reputation is poor at best which is why I am surprised when GM shows up at Barrett Jackson with John in tow promoting his product thru a charity car he built for them. GM's PR dept must be a bunch of millenials who know nothing about Hennesey history.
I am a millenial. Any car guy worth a damn has heard about Henneseys sketchy dealings. Millenials, who go on more car forums, have probably heard his name more than any other generation. Im guessing the PR department either doesnt care or is willing to deal w. a sketchy company for the "wow" factor his name has because of magazine articles.
All that needs to be said about this package in the pricing. Maybe the below is for a S, still rip off pricing by a con artist.
$84,950?? Hahaha, thats ridiculous - what a joke, who pays that? You can buy a lot cooler car for $180,000 + Love how he stretches the list to seem like alot

Gotta give him time to remove parts from your car and sell them.
Well the biggest problem from a business stand point and what some builders fail to see or realize is that when you get to high it just gets cheaper and easier to step into a Z06. At $12k for a super charger on a base Stingray I can take that $12k and another $10k-ish and be done on a Saturday afternoon. With an overall better car.
Nothing personal, just business...
That and I really want the take off parts in case I want to put it back like it was.

he meant it tounge-in-cheek. One of the sketchy things he used to do was take apart customer cars, sell the parts... and make the customer purchase more expensive items to replace the things he already sold...
Not really sure of their past. I always give folks the benefit of the doubt.
However just two weeks ago I inquired about a super charger for my 2016 base Stingray and $12k was an okay price but they wanted to keep it for 4 weeks when I thought I would just drive down to Houston on a Saturday and pick it up he following Saturday.
It doesn't take 4 weeks to install a supercharger, next...
Yes, that's pretty crazy! I know it's a simpler install, but when I had a Paxton supercharger installed in my old 87 Mustang GT back in the mid 90s, they installed it right there while I was in the shop with them! Took about 3-4 hours start to finish. Now I know there is a bit more involved with a blower on the LT1, but 4 weeks??? Not a chance. I bet it could be done in no more than 10-12 hours, especially by a shop that has experience doing them and knows the quickest way to do it.
