0-60 in 2.2 secs

[bmagni]

well i was wonderin around and i found this page about hennessey, from which i have read and heard and all that stuff, but well the first thing i see is that he tunes a viper srt 10 with up to 1000 hp and makes it go from 1-60 mph in 2.2, well what can u do with 1000+ hp, but anyway, i woulndt tune up any car (as i ve said so many times) even for that performance, i prefer makin a 0-60 in more seconds, than in 2.2 with a tuned engine

haha i undestrand u but u can always accelerate half way so u get to 60 in 4 seconds .
that is also too much power for me, in the streets u cant use is, no matter what anyones sais

Here´s a video of the car doing a 9.75 sec. 1/4 mile:

Holy fuck! That thing nearly hits the floor with every gear change!

That is seriously fast... he struggled to go in a straight line :shock:

The camera man was shite :roll: .. he kept leaning to the right, then straightening up, even before the car set-off

[Schwalbe]

Wow ! this is really a good video that you found Jorge .

Hennessey is a scammer and a con artist. He has *never* produced a car that does what it claims, rips customers off consistently (steals cars, sells them, and claims otherwise), etc.

This guy is nothing more than a glorified hack job. Worst yet, I know people whom he calls begging for engine tuning help. My 3 yr old cousin could do a better job, and is infinetly more honest.

^^^That's interesting, I've heard things like that before...not very good for Hennessey's image.

Damn, that thing was fast...but what the hell with that camera man, was he falling asleep or something...how hard is it to hold the camera steady, lol. :roll:

This is a fast car, no doubt but it's not that hard to make a powerfull car, more difficult to make them handle correctly

[DMbaseball1604]

great vid..but that car is the most pointless thing ever made..there is no way to drive it..the guy can hardly handle it in a straight line...IMO its dumb and not safe for street driving..

[adlinyusman]

yeah great vid, but i would never buy a car which is as unuseable as a 1000bhp viper. I'd probably be driving too slowly anyway for fear of losing traction.

There is no such thing as "too much power"...

[Fleischmann]

Damn...that car lifted off when the guy put his foot down. Looked almost like one of them lowriders

Is it possible not to burn rubber on that thing, when accelerating from 0 ??

[bobafett]

What you don't see is that the engine probably threw a rod just after the video!

What a crock...I have zero respect for this guy as a tuner, and even less as a businessman.
