Default Get out the popcorn, Read about John Hennessey's Business Practices

I have gatherd up a few interesting threads on a few other boards about John Hennessey. I thought this would make for good reading. Check this stuff out. Its amazing what this guy has done and is continueing to do. I am trying to help the word get out that people should stay as far away from this guy as possable.



"smooth tubes" and water wetter not deliverd to customer after several calls
Refund of money on American Express after a year of trying to get it, and not from john.
Warning to all viper owners of Hennessey's business practices. $20,000 taken from a friend
Hennessey for sale? John bashes a member who posted the tread.
Member claims to have a brother-in-law that gave Hennessey $40,000 for work never finished
Viper owners disscuss an Autoweek article questioning Hennesey's business practices
member arrested for tresspassing and terroristic threats when he flew to henneseys shop to confront him
Case dissmissed against member that was charged by Hennessey for tresspassin and terroristic threats
member complains about not geting his "datona wing" from Hennessey after 2 months
member was sent used parts when ordering a head/cam package from Hennessey totalling $6,000
member awaits refund after purchasing a wing from Hennessey, 6 months, no refund

From Z06.com
John meets up with the wrong people in a parking lot and gets a beatdown
member has his car towed from hennesseys shop after several failed attempts to finish his car
story of a member whos friend was riped off by Hennessey

I hope all these links work. If not you can just go to the respective boards and do a search under his name. Its some amazing shit thats going on with this guy.

some links work, some don't.

either way, that is some fucked up stuff, especially by someone who gets mainstream media attention.

apparently this has been going on for a while now.

even though hennessey is the only factory-authorized engine builder allowed to go into that dodge v-10. dealerships won't even open those things up.

but he's a jackass.

Alot of what I read said that the xxx or 1xxxhp kits were sometimes up to a few hundred HP off. I remember seeing on RX7club that one Viper owner had the 1000hp kit put on his car and it only dynoed somewhere in the low-mid 700's. It also took im around a year and a half to get the car done.
That's just ONE example...

old. Old. OLD news..

He's been doing it for years.. and it just now makes it to this messageboard..

Atleast in most cases he's screwing rich people with more money than sence anyway.
