Until he does go that fast I'll remain skeptical....There's no reason it couldnt but anyone can print car x does 245mph...But where's the proof...I eagerly await the proof...

if they are going to hit 245 there should be an assload of cameras covering it. speedo cam, radar cam, etc.

Why do you people doubt the performance of modded cars?
In the mid 1980's Koenig was running 230+mph with twin turbo Testarossa's and Callaway was running 255mph with the sledgehammer Vette... hell Ruf has been running his cars at 210mph+ since the mid 1980's as well.
You would shit in your pants if you only knew just how many street cars can be run to 220+mph.
This is not the exclusive territory of the Macca and Enzo.. :roll:
LPE TT Vette's, TT Vipers, Koenig's Ferraris and Ruf's Porsches have been modded into the 220mph realm for 20 years already.

very nice 0-60 time, and a 600 hp H2 that's cool.

Again - No doubt. He has very bad business ethics - and even if he has cleaned up his act, you cannot undo what he did.
I wonder if he has ever repaid all the people he ripped off?

Wasn't one of the Viper guys railed for damn near $150k? :|
Knowing Hennesy and his eithics, he probably used one of those fancy mortgage calculators to come up with a theoretical top speed.
I know full well that it can be done. If people can make dragsters run 0-300mph in 3 seconds, they can make a Viper do 240+mph.
BTW, I'm watching the Yankees/Red Sox game, they are playing Top Gears theme song! LOL

That's a badass car...and I have a vid of some sort of Hennessy TT SRT-10 at the drag strip running 9 secondish 1/4mi...it nearly lifted the front tires off the ground! Only thing is, the turbos take away from that great Viper V10 sound.
1100trq :twisted:

Hey buddy reread my post again...I think if you do you will see where Im coming from...Why do people just jump and post a reply without fully reading and trying to understand what a person says?? The very sentence of my quote that you used in your reply tells you I dont doubt the car can do it... :wink:
Until it does its just ink on paper...Hey my S class can top out at 205mph...See how easy that is? You must first do it before you can claim it as hard fact..Get it? :P

Insane I know...But there was another forced induction Viper that pegged a dyno at 1200rwtq and it still had over 1000rpm to go :shock: Vipers are truly a mans car....It likes to be blown :D
you wouldnt be able to tell since hed probably steal your speedo.

Hey buddy - buy a dictionary... ;) - I quoted what you wrote for the very reason it is self-contradictory with a leaning towards disbelief.. :)
I quoted the post you used to say:
Until he does go that fast I'll remain skeptical....
and then said
There's no reason it couldnt but anyone can print car x does 245mph...
followed by
But where's the proof...
with a final
I eagerly await the proof...
According to your logic ANY car that carries a manufacturers claim of xmph needs to be proven. Not just the one tested - but EACH car. As in EVERY Toyota Corolla will need to be taken to 110mph to PROVE it can reach 110mph.. ;)
That's the view of a skeptic.. a disbeliever - :)

Semantics....I cant believe you just wrote all that mess....You cant be serious with that use of logic can you?
My post says there is no reason the "car" cant do that speed...It has the power but will its aerodynamics allow it to reach that speed. Remember its a convertable..Has He[Hennessy] done it...It sounds like you are the kind of guy that would easily fall for scams etc...If all you need is to see stuff in writing to believe it then I got some land in the swamps at a steal...Ill fax you the info..After all its written on paper so it must be true.
There is a BIG difference in claiming something and actually accomplishing it.....Theres a reason the Guiness World Book of Records require proof, read actual deeds, before it is recorded as fact...Imagine if all was required was someones word or written statement... 8)

Neither can I... :)

Sure can... :P
My post says there is no reason the "car" cant do that speed...
Yes...
It has the power but will its aerodynamics allow it to reach that speed.
No reason to believe not.. ;)
Remember its a convertable..
Topless cars go 230mph+ all the time.. just ask Koenig.. ;)
Has He[Hennessy] done it...
Probably not - he is a scammer and con artist... but a Car & Driver or Motortrnd may have - Hennessey has an uncanny ability to build one fast car - take to a magazine - let them run it to some stupid speed - get it on the cover - then sell 25 fake copies to gullible folks.. :)
It sounds like you are the kind of guy that would easily fall for scams etc...If all you need is to see stuff in writing to believe it then I got some land in the swamps at a steal...Ill fax you the info..After all its written on paper so it must be true.
Did your land featur ein Field & Stream before you put it on sale? ;)
Why send me a cheque for the closing costs then I will send you a cheque for the balance owe. D

No shit... ;) :lol: :) We don't even let people post abotu their cars without proof.. :lol: hehehe

What exactly did Hennessey do that got him his horrible reputation? I'm in no way saying he doesn't deserve his bad rep, just wondering what he did...and how many times he did it. :?:
