idk what to say....it's nice..but at that price point it's not so nice :/

ronmcdon · 03-30-2010, 07:09 PM

I'm amazed (& very impressed) these guys are somehow still in business

MandTPhotography · 03-30-2010, 07:18 PM

They still do a large volume of work.

silviaguy240 · 03-30-2010, 07:27 PM

oh hey

Matej · 03-30-2010, 08:31 PM

Oh gosh, it is flat black/satin.

GSXRJJordan · 03-30-2010, 08:40 PM

Hennessey has done a ton of business with Camaros this year, and the guys that I've talked to/worked with through Savini (Alex in sales and John, the president) have been very professional and sincerely interested in customer service.

Their LS9 Camaro is a true performance package, and I believe their Lotus will be also.

ILoveJDM · 03-30-2010, 08:57 PM

looks as though the rear end is longer? tailights and rear bumper seem farther out, not sure tho? anyone else notice?

HyperTek · 03-30-2010, 09:19 PM

its like a stretched Elise with a LS9
Id like it as a Lotus supercar, but has a Hennessey badge on it.

They probably just source the build to lotus while supplying the motor.

And it'll shake and smell just like your S-Chassis.

This Hennessey version was definitely inspired by the s1 Lotus GT1 which came out a long long time ago.

Also this Sport Exige came out awhile ago too

I was actually thinking the same thing when I saw this on Jalopnik the other day.
For those who might question why Hennessey might be a problem:
#/f/off-topic-chat/2...r-my-shop.html

Also, in one of those shootouts they used to do in Motor Trend before car magazines sucked, they had a Hennessey Venom Viper, and one part of the discussion dealt with people who got their cars/parts late or never, some even filing BBB complaints on Hennessey.

J ROK · 03-31-2010, 10:54 AM

1,000 hp in that would be rediculous!!

I WANT IT!!

*Antihero983* · 03-31-2010, 10:56 AM

i dont think anyone is doubting performance. I think its price per performance which puts such a company into question of staying afloat.
