Default Hennessy Venom 1000

Not sure if anybody cares, but "Check into Cash" on west broad st. has their Hennessy Viper sittin out front for people to look at. Here's a really shitty camera phone pic I took.

Would not touch it to save my life. Anything with Hennessey's name on it is cursed. I would not be suprised if that car is missing a few parts.

Across from Merchants Walk shopping center, down the street from McGeorge Toyota. Funny thing is they have the dyno charts posted up to be shown that they received from Hennessy.

It didn't have 15" rotas, I'm assuming you wouldn't have liked it, Matt.

Same with 3 other Henessey Vipers we dyno'd. ALL of them fell from 200-450hp short of what they were supposidly making. There are many, many mad customer's of Hennessy, some that have taken legal action against him for his claims.

Superformance is almost getting the same infamous reputation. Their Daytona Coupes have Roush motors that supposidly make 550hp and the last one we dyno'd squeeked out 385rwhp...then a month later it ejected a connecting rod on the backstraight of VIR.
