Thats ALOT of money for only 60hp...

How about a pulley swap? Be much cheaper.

:jest:

You said it.

looks good, but that's stupid for 60hp

theres always people out their with more money than brains.:eyes: cool car, looks great, but wayyyyyyy overpriced for such little upgrades.

Too busy on the new body panels, too low on the power increase, too much in the asking price. This guy is full of himself! :rolleyes:

Shit guys the wheels are carbon fiber. I don't think thats cheap.

x2 on the too much goin on deal :barf:

I'd love to see a regular zr1 with the wheels/tires.

Yeah, but the REAL value is the driving instruction provided at LoneStar!!!!

"Here's how you go 12.50's with 700 horses!"


LOL!!!

Thief maybe, but idiot hardly. He's the one getting money handed to him.

Hennessey has a really really bad reputation with customers and product...YOU look it up! :nod:

o haha yea i already knew that.... thought you guys meant that by something else.. whatever. i have heard about customers but products i havent heard anything bad with.

Hennessey has a really really bad reputation with customers and product...YOU look it up! :nod:

I lost track of how many Viper owners have filed suits against him...


Has anyone called him an idiot thief to his face yet?

I think there have been a few people show up at his shop....

Thief maybe, but idiot hardly. He's the one getting money handed to him.

What about all the law suits???? Even if he is wining them he is having to fork ou tmoney for lawayers :D

The first for what? The first to own a ZR1? You mean the one with the really expensive paint...... he never owned that one........ at best I think he told a friend about it.


Go to some of the Viper forums and do a search for John Hennesy and see what you find :D I tink one forum banned him but I can't remember.

MANY people have called him worse than a idiot infact several outta town customers have shown up with bats to beat him to a pulp ..and people who were in litigation couldnt speak about it or disclose anything on the internet for obvious reasons

THIS IS FACT

problem is he shut shop changed his corp named and found god (and settled outta court with many customers for a BIG BIG loss.... for them) Its also because it so hard to prove alot of things once a customers car leaves his shops for example "how do we know you didnt change out the billets rods just to sue me" type of situation or "that was really your 14,000 dollar hood he just sold while he craped you a 6k hennessey hood blah blah blah"

why is he making money?? well i think its three things

1. hes good at marketing

2. he finds a rich basketball/old oil man/ idiot who will let him pimp his car, with alot of money thrown at it and does his car right....... cuz the pro gimp is repeat biz and just ripped off a little at a time normally and not smart bout cars

3. forgets about the "avg guy" who worked all his/her life to buy a Hennessey "dream car" onlyfind out he/she got ripped......then promise he will fix it for two years then avoid litigation for a year or two and settle for pennies


while you sell the stock parts you ripped off the car on EBAY baby.

doggyb22 you cant handle the truth!!!!!!!

by the way ive known hennessey since 1992 and how he rips people off since 1995

I heard that also about people showing up........ I hear he has pretty much shot himself in the foot with Viper owners... I assume that is why he is branching out.... Oh... this car is not much different then the new Camaro they are doing....

i can name 3 people that showed up that i know

i believe Jay Leno has the very first one....? saw a video with the serial number saying 0001? your saying he doesnt own that? it just chills in his garage?

ya i didnt know anything about the viper owners wanting to kick his ass.... but still makes fast cars. whether he rips customers off... whole different story.

I don't think he is the original owner of it. I am pretty sure he bought it from a friend........ I could be wrong though.

Well whether or not he is a rip off or con artist that two-story trailer he had in that video with the 1450hp Viper....Still has me drooling. So does the tow rig also just incredible....I guess thats what ripping millionaires off gets you.

your right that is what is get you when you rip people off doesnt it seem like it

the housing market, banks, the econmy bail outs , iraq, oil companies, credit card intrest rates.....lets rip whoever we can!! what else???


im sure thats what the crooks all thought. They were thinking who cares look at what we will get in return!!!! billions of dollars or on a lesser note maybe a two story tow rig............. and ill be the MAN


look at madoff only in jail for what 150years in his 70's hmmmmmmm
and maybe he will pull some strings and get off in 20??
im sure there is a stash of cash somewhere

its a little bit of justice, but ripping someones hard earned money off in any degree is still ripping them off, or is it just the amount you can get away with.
what's the amount of cash that makes you smart or a thief ?

think about it when you get mugged for 50 bucks its the same reasoning that the madoffs and hennessey of the world use yet some how we admire these white collar thiefs in some manner or degree to be able to pull these scams off.

Everybody gets rewards, good or bad, for their actions. He'll get what's coming to him.

Actually theres more than just 1 #1 ZR1 in a way. Theres the one that the guy payed $1,000,000 for #1 and the only one to be Le Mans blue i believe. And then Jay Leno has #2, but in a way its #1 since the real #1 is a special one in a way. Its one big cluster f*ck, but Lenos is #1 but in reality its #2.

Forgot all about that. I did not notice Jay's was not blue....... The pain on the blue one is insainly expensive.

I'd rather have a cam only C6 Z06 that is not only faster but didn't have Hennessey touching it with his slimy little hands. I can't stand that f^<!#g thief.
