This growling Hennessey beast is said to have a 0 – 60 mph time of just under 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 220 mph.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Glad to see they actually finished a car. Lots of bad press on that guy.

It's not very reassuring when their website says the mods include 'upping the displacement on the 6.4L LT4 to 6.8L". Know your product please.

And no you won't steal my money by making a video with 100 different perspectives of a boring dyno pull followed by your enticing scripty name. We know your game. Your reputation precedes you, Mr Hennessey.

Only because it was a press car. Regular customer cars? Not so much.

Hennessey - a new element on the Periodic Table of Elements. Primary characteristic: the most effective money reducing agent known to mankind.

You said it best. I read everywhere that he is a scam artist. He stole millions from people who trusted him. One story on viper forum of a guy paid him 120k upfront to work on his viper. John Hennessy kept the car for a year, sold parts off of it and never worked on the car. People get caught up with Hennessy work on TV and online and no one brings up the fact that he is a scam artist. Forums should ban any news or press releases that talks about Hennessy's work so they don't create new victims.

Why are these "editorial" posts permitted to pass unedited.

I accept that the goal is to somehow have members read ads, but there is no filter on the content.

This Texas car dealer was a thief when he stole from a disabled man needing an auto transmission in the Viper days, was a thief when he sold a stock crankshaft as a custom design, and is devoid of moral character.

"Yup" as this editor is often posting.

Annoying.

What he said ^^^^^

On the Viper boards, you couldn't even type his name without it showing up as characters.

I had no idea the guy had that reputation.
I heard of him but only from the media.

The car itself is still an impressive car, despite his shortcomings.

Just shows throwing some cash to buy ads and forums will look past anything.
