Seems like this thing should be faster.

What do you expect for $40 grand Steve!?!?!? :)

I mean it is impressive but his reputation to me anyway will always be of someone who screws his customers. PERIOD.

I wouldnt let them mod my lawn mower, personally but hey WTF do I know.

Scuze me but isn't that what Curtis is running with about 80 hp less at maybe 1/2 the cost invested (guessing)?
On street tires? First time really ever racing the 1320 this year? He does rocketh...

for me its the true meaning of modern muscle with class is all ,dont see too many luxury cars with super chargers ripp'n up the track ,so its not so much the time's for me but the fact that its a brand new and the car is beutiful ripping down the track!!!

They must be talking about crank HP, cause Curtis is running better times with his sedan and most likely cost him alot less than having Hennessey to the work. By the way, Curtis is running drag radials.

I agree with Tony...Not a fan of anything Hennessey. Might be badass...but if it was done by someone else with that extra money put in it? It would probably clicking off low 10's effortlessly.

I agree with both of you guys...I wouldn't let Hennessey touch anything of mine either, but his HP claims must be crank HP. Curtis is sitting at 675RWHP and is currently running 10.7's, with probably a couple more tenths in it.

I agree about the rear. Reminds me of a Prius or Acura
