I don’t know what’s more impressive, the power and performance numbers, OR the fact that there’s a warranty.

Kinda, they only cover the engine. So when I worked for the Cadillac dealer we got in a Hennessey Escalade. If I remember right it was the 650hp version and it had a smoked 8 speed in it. Because it only had 1300 miles on it and it was a Hennessey we had to call GM because the customer wanted a new transmission and not to have his rebuilt. When you tell GM the ECM calibration code (because they ask for it) and that it is a Hennessey they tell you that the engine and transmission are not covered under warranty and give you a phone number to call Hennessey for warranty coverage. Its an internal bulletin they have so I didn't get to read it and they pretty much just stop talking to you and say thats as far as they can go with the conversation.

So we called up Hennessey and they said the transmission is under GM warranty and to call GM. In the end the customer paid out of pocket to put a new transmission in his brand new 2018 $100k+ Escalade.

Hennessey is a well documented joke.

You must be a really young guy then. He started back in the mid-1990s scamming Viper owners. He was doing an internal pyramid scheme to run his business using customer $$, cars, and parts.

What was the most confusing thing, the car mags absolutely love him...they've done more to promote the scams than he ever could...

HAHA I wish, 50, just never paid any attention to the name.

He is soulless. The things he did to his customers, I'm surprised nobody has shot him. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.

He was pretty careful about dealing straight with people who wernt gonna let it slide. In reading multiple stories of his scams over the years, it seems like it's always someone long distance, who maybe wasn't completely car savvy, and trusted him to do what he said.... people who would go litigation over retribution. Plus he has a core group of absolute worshippers that are local to him....

All of that has supposedly changed in recent years with different management, personnel changes, policy changes, etc....me personally, I would never ever never think about dealing with them.

Only way to buy a Hennessy car .... from anyone but them lol
