Sounds really good!

that actually doesn't suck.

Dang, and to think that could have been the '10 camaro z28. I think they were going to use the same drivetrain combo so even stock 490 rwhp would have been great in the camaro.

Nice ride, but with Hennessey's past history I dont think I would ever purchase a Hennessey built vehicle.

Agreed.

A pic of ours...

Only done a wheel change so far, and I bead blasted all the chrome bits and painted to match the wheels.
No performance mods yet... waiting on a few folks to try it and see where stuff starts to fail. Word from someone reputable is 600hp is the fuel system limit. It's easy to that point but past 600 is going to be major.

Jeff, what are you likes and dislikes (if any) so far?

[Ketzer]

Had it since Feb, got about 2k miles, honestly no dislikes.
Tons of power, great ride, all the features are easy to use. It feels very solid, well thought out.
If anything, it's very decieving, this sucker is heavy but it pulls like a monster and still is somehow able to feel kinda nimble.

I should add to my previous post, the 600hp I was talking about this car being capable of was RWHP :wow: .

Jeff, yes since HEP didn't mention fuel system mods and they're at 605 RWHP, I figured that's what you meant.

That's gotta feel good to drive a car that does everything so well.

From pics and reviews, the interior has gotten high marks.

What's your opinion of it so far?

PLEASE stop giving Hennessey press. Hes one of the biggest clowns in the business.

read his own words here:

http://www.300cforums.com/forums/general-discussion/21978-efool-gets-punked-his-own-board.html

Guy has the mentality of a 12 year old, add that to his past history with customers etc, I don't see why anyone pays any attention to anything the guy does...

I understand your point of view.

Here's a different perspective.

Likely HEP didn't get any bad press on this board recently until this thread started.

Now they have some.

http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showpost.php4?p=217124&postcount=9

Plus your input and link.

No way to tell for sure of course, but I would think 99% of people here know his rep.

I doubt that the remaining 1%, if they bought something from HEP, would do so without performing due diligence.

I hold the blogs/magazines and posters on forums responsible for keeping that guy in business. He stops getting press, he stops getting business. I was a mod on the 300cforums when all that went down. He is one of the biggest clowns I have ever see post on the internet, I cannot imagine what his tyrades are like in person.

Man should not be running a business.

Just this week I was reading autoblog while in the bathroom and saw he is modding the new Camaros as well. Its only a matter of time before someone posts that too. There are plenty of performance shops out there running quality businesses with quality owners/operators. I'd rather see THEM get the business and press.

Ok, say some uninformed person person starts a thread on JH.

Others post links to past JH customer issues.

Another problem prevented, right? :thumbsup:

Wow that thread on the 300c forum is unreal!

What a piece of work.

This is the decision Internet Brands made.

I been tossing the idea around about pick up a CST-V and replacing that S**T box S500 that my wife drives
I haven't had a change to test drive one , I know if I drive one I'll have to have it.

Sounds like an excellent idea. :thumbsup:

Skip,
From a driver standpoint, the interior is great. I've got the Recaro option but the standard seats are nearly as good. Lots of adjustment for wheel and seat, easy layout on gauges, shifter, pedals etc. The interior feels like a luxury car should but has the support and layout of a sports car.
If I was gonna really nitpick and try to find something... there's still a lot of plastic (what car doesn't) but it's quiet. We have the alcantara option on the steering wheel (feels soooo good) but how long will it last? The center console is shiny black, what have we all learned about anything shiny black? The fuel gauge is hidden behind the wheel, a bad thing because this puppy is thirsty. Silly minor things.



Pete,
You will be won over by how smooth and sneaky the power is. It's so mild mannered and comfy until you bring up the boost.
