i never heard of it
have anyone heard of this company.??
i think the twin turbo thing is totally bs
and all the car models there, they only tell u how much the hp will be, they dont go into any details, liek what are the performance mods, etc
and the m5,, it claims it can bring it to 470hp,, it sounds like they r getting stuff from Dinan, beacuse Dinan has a package call S2.. but the price is alot cheaper....

Hennesy is very well known in America. Not only for his insanely fast Vipers, but for ripping people off as well. I'm surprised he is still in business.
He is very capable of making a Twin Turbo package that makes 800bhp for a Mucielago.
As much as I don't like it's styling, a 800bhp Murcielago would be lots of fun!

I never knew that Hennesy did other cars?!? The only Hennesy cars I've heard of are the Vipers. There was an article in 1998 R&T or C&D "Fastest Street Legal Car in America", the Hennesy Venom 600 GTS clocked 205.4MPH. Unfortunately it failed the emissions test, thus making it illegal.

That sad considering a 1998 GTS will do 198mph stock!

ya i saw the Durango, forgot about that till just now. didnt they put the Viper motor in it?
a kid i knew when i was going to USC had a Shelby Durango, only rode in it once, but it was pretty fast, i think the Hennessys is faster tho, not really sure.

No, it managed to put a hole in one of the pistons! Heh, at least it went out with a bang!
Yes, the Hennesy Durango had a Viper motor in it.

Just because it did that speed on a track doesn't mean it can't do it on a highway.
The 600 is his little package, they have a twin turbo package that makes over 1000bhp.
I think Stryker is cooler though. They had a 1400bhp package!

Hennessey really isnt all that. look at their packages its all the same basic thing. imo anybody could slap a pair of turbos the size of small children on any car and make it quick. if hennesy had true skill they would build motors up just not try to turbo everything.

In the new Car and Driver there is an article about the new Hennessey Viper Venom 600, and they said that yes Hennessey had problems with taking customers money and then not delivering their cars in a reasonable amount of time. But Hennessey has downsized his operation and everything is better. C&D said" Every one of his cars that we've independently tested has run ferociously strong and without failure." This is alot more than what could be said for many other tuners.

That wasn't all he was doing. He sold parts off of customers cars and even used them for his little experiments.
