I would never buy anything from that guy, biggest scam artist around from what I have heard. henescrewed

"henescrewed" Exactly, I can not believe he is still getting business.

You can do a 1000whp Supra for less than half that price.

Still cool and I am sure all 24 will sell in less than a month when word gets out in the mags etc.

You can do a crazy V8 twin turbo that would probably rape that thing for half.......He used to sell parts off of his customer's cars to other people thats why they said "henescrewed".......hell you could do a sick stage II thats probably faster than that thing.......

The big question is how many of the 24 sold will actually be delivered.

Is this with a stock motor or built forged motor for $225K?

My friend bought Gary Javo's twin turbo '96 GTS Viper (1000hp with stock longblock) and raced my other buddy with a 402 stroker LS2/T56 in his 2800lb RX-7 with a small 125hp nitrous shot. My buddies $30K creation beat the $100K Viper easily and it only makes 650rwhp on juice.

The new GTS TTViper owner wasn't too happy... and keeps crying... I was still spinning..... waaaaaaaaaaaaah! Every time they did a rematch the result was the same.

Those cars are just big clown shoes for the bigger clown inside.

just curios...Whats so bad about the maker of the car?

GNX7 you sound a liittle like a ricer there? Why do the kids have to always demean anything that is out of their price range? I have owned a Viper before and the other owners were some of the nicest guys you will find. They are as fanatic about their vipers as the bucik guys about their regals. Yes you can find clowns behind the wheels of a viper but you only have to be in any of the specialty car rooms to see they all have some clowns. I see this all the time in the car chat rooms, someone always thinks that anyone owning a very expensive car is a clown, mid life crisis, making up for a short Johnson, trying to impress the ladies etc etc. Maybe they are an auto enthusiest with more money then others? You think?

looks mean, and i'm sure its not slow. i've never heard anything on this hennesy guy before but he sounds like a great guy. i'd never buy a car like that to begin with, you can have a viper for what, $80,000. give me another $80,000 and it better be just as fast if not faster than that one.

it might have a turbo v6 by the time i'm done with it but hey, who wants a small v10 anyways. (what are they usually, 300 some cubic inches?)

Yep, just a small little 8.3L v10 or 500+ cu in.
