There is atleast 2 hennessey vipers that run what they are supose to. 1 of them is of course owned by hennessey himself. The other is used as advertising to sucker more people in.

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.
The thing is you put most people in a solid 385 rwhp car and they would think its 500 hp. Especially a light one.

Shit I wonder how many punk kids with a solid 250rwhp or even less think they're making about double what it really is. Too many....

I remember when I worked at Circuit City some guy brought in a VW he just bought and I knew the previous owner. The car was putting down 200hp at most and the guy thought it was over 300hp. I'm not sure if the dealers told him some bs or he just though 300hp out of the blue. Turbo cars are very deceptive IMO.
