Nice but go read the viper forums,

I bet I could throw hennesey a good 10 feet depending on the bounce but i dont trust em that far. He has screwed too many people. RC prolly has more input.....

Let's see, US $215,000.00 - 24,500 = 190,500. With MSRP $139,995 and Invoice of $128,506 that means a mark up of $50,505. That's very steep!! I doubt anyone would bid on that.

Hennessey has screwed multiple people and spent alot of time in and out of jail. I have seen one of his cars and they are indeed sweet, but very few of them ever get done. Then he does the old bait and switch where back ordered cars go out the door with other peoples parts.

A 100 HP for $24,500 that's entirely too little for all the stuff they say they do to it.
And an 800hp CGT only runs a mid 10 1/4 mile...
Man this guy isn't very good with anything other than vipers, and even then.

Kenne Bell doesn't have anything for the GT so that wouldn't really work. And WTF is with them making a TT kit for the Ford GT?

this looks fake. why arent there any pics of the car? and why does it read like an advertisement for the upgrade kit, and why does it sound like they are only selling the kit and not a car?
