Default 0-185 A8 Z06 Stock

I couldn't help but check out the gas gauge 1/16 tank used hennessey is driving it but it is stock apparently. He says it is very stable

Brake specific fuel consumption is what it is...shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the output.

Impressive performance for sure, but approx. 37 PSI at almost 5700 RPMs would have me pretty uncomfortable. I have to wonder if that's normal. Does anybody here know?

Sorry but 185mph top speed with 650hp is pathetic

ZR1 would have hit 200mph there

Or you can see the glass half full. A track car with downforce that can still crest 185 mph. Drive the car at Laguna Seca one weekend, and run a 1.5 mile straight line event the next. The car is equally at home. At both events I got people wanting to hear more about the car, what it did, and so on. On the way back I turn on the A/C, set it to comfy mode, and get the passenger a chance to sleep. The car is an all around great sport. Why so negative?

0-150 in 18 sec.
150-185 30 sec

This car is a brick through air, we know 650 foot-pound torque is pushing it, and thats agony slow for the last 35 mph..... downforce yes, but ALOT of drag


But what a car

I assume this is stage 3
At 170 mph, the stage 1 would be at 185 mph.

I would like to see a mid-cycle refresh with active aero. Or perhaps the "upcoming" ZR1 will have active aero. Either way I think it will be awesome.

Must be a stage 3 car. I ran my A8 ( stage 1 )and by simply looking at the time on the video we were both basically 0-150MPH in 17 seconds. the Hennessey car was 0-177 in 33 seconds. my car was 0-177 in 29 seconds. big difference on the tall end. great cars!

Wouldn't put it past Hennessey to do something like that with a customer car though. Guy is a complete clown.
