That is awesome. Wish I had an mil' burning a hole in my pocket.

Technically, it's considered a "tuner" exotic, since it's based on the Lotus. BA all the same, and scary fast. Check out the Hennessey CTS-V coupe.

Yes. That is nice. However, I would still prefer the Hennessey Caddy that did 220.5mph on the new TX Turnpike down near Austin.

I saw that too! It's the CTS-V coupe I was talking about. That thing is scary awesome. Pretty awesome of the Texas HP to let them do the run there too. Also, DO NOT speed in Texas, the automatic speed cameras can track you at 220...

I give him credit that they are awesome. BUT you can have the same work done at many other shops for the FRACTION of his price.

Dude has some crazy prices on that ****. I can have the same car built with more power for much less $$$.

I am still envious that he got to legally go 200+mph on the highway...

Oh, Hennessey. I wonder if he's stealing parts of peoples cars he's 'modifying', and selling them while the car sits quasi stripped in the corner of his shop.
Oh, I must be living in the last decade, I guess he hasn't done that recently

I saw this car on tv a couple weeks ago, I believe its the fastest production car in the world right now and its American made.


I saw the SSC Ultimate Aero on tv, the pic below of the SSC Ultimate Aero II.

Yes. That is nice. However, I would still prefer the Hennessey Caddy that did 220.5mph on the new TX Turnpike down near Austin.

That would complete the 41 mile stretch in what... a hair over 11 minutes?!?

Video of said CTS-V doing a 220+ MPH pull. Also nice video of a breathed on ZL-1 camaro.
