Ok that's just sick :faint: And look how smooth that CTS is at 200+ :woot:

Only in America can you get away with ripping people off like Hennessey did and still get on the cover of most major magazines and otherwise be praised as being some sort of automotive god.

What's the story behind this? I must not be in the loop.

[randy]

just did a quick search and came up with this. I have no opinion on the matter just thought i would share what i see

What's the story behind this? I must not be in the loop.


There is tons of proof...hold on I'll dig some up. Well here you go http://www.viperalley.com/forum/anyt...tswingers.html this shows how much of an a** this guy is. He doesn't respect his potential customers at all! Here you go...here's a thread on his charges http://www.forzacentral.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=17015 He just plain loses it here http://www.300cforums.com/forums/gen...own-board.html

He posts on the sites for mopar related cars because thats what he specializes in. Its not uncommon for these high level tuners on these types of boards. Free advertisement to potenial customers. It is really a shame that he has to be such an a** because when he actually does the work it is truely top notch.

He basically ran a Viper chop shop when he first came on the scene using customer's cars.

Robbed this from the Chrysler forum:

Just for fun, click this link. Type "Hennessey" in the spot for party name, and select "defendant." How many lawsuits can you find?
