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.

LPE TT is Ligenfelter Twin Turbo right?

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

sentra_dude 10-13-2004 10:41 PM

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:

DUNKiNUTS 10-13-2004 10:43 PM

until i see video i believe nothing :wink: atleast a top mag. test

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
