Nice race, but it's all been said here before about Hennessey.

I read many threads where they took a customers car and actually sold off parts. Then they delay delay delay and you have to get a lawyer to get your car back. Plus have you ever seen what they charge?

The odds of me ever selling my ZR1 are slim to nil... the odds of me selling my Callaway are NIL... Ist class operation from the day I got the car in 2010 to today.

My impression from way back to present day was you could get more power from Hennessey but you’d get more reliability from Callaway. Now I have 8 years of my own experience with Callaway reliability. Cant speak for Hennessey one way or the other.

I heard this kind of recommendation about Callaway (even though it's pretty expensive), but never about Hennessey.

One the 3rd run, Hennessy engine parts from the explosion were up to 200 yards away. Caveat Emptor

Why didn't he mention their mods to explain HOW they got the extra power? That's immediately fishy. Why advertise without advertising? Oh, wait, when you have nothing to sell I guess.

Yeah, like their 1,200HP ZR1 claim. Just contact their sales associate for details.
