Watch the Hennessey HPE800 Z06 Blaze Down the Runway
This particular video features the Hennessey HPE800 testing from 0-175 mph at Houston's Ellington Airport with some pretty cool camera work.

First of all I didn't see a 0-175 run. I only saw him turning out onto a runway and hit the gas. That's not from 0, that from a roll.
He wasn't running against another car so it was impossible to judge his rate of acceleration.
And since when is 175 MPH a speed to crow about. For a top speed it's very weak, and since he didn't run a specified distance(like a 1/2 mile) who knows how long it took him to reach 175 from some mysterious lower speed, since he did the run from a roll.

It was really just a video to showcase the car (it does sound good though!). They ran it at some airport in Texas with a 7,000 foot runway. Not sure how they only got to 175 with 800+ HP in almost 1 and a half miles when most stock Z06's are going 150 ish at Shift Sector (not sure how long their runway is though).

I wouldn't trust those guys with my lawnmower, let alone my Z.
