Hennessey put some ****ty lines on that truck. I mean they are just plain horrible. Like a 4 year old putting together legos. I can't say enough bad things about that particular package.

I wonder what percentage of the people who actually buy one actually recieve one . With his shady record , I think I'd have a tent pitched outside the shop till my truck was done , and show proof the power was actually there . :D

Am I the only one who thinks paying $1950 to "lower" your truck is a bit on the high side??

And nearly $5000 for wheels?

Rich people really are different......

6 mpg??? That almost cuts the SRT-10's mileage in half...

How much would you expect to pay for a transmission that can handle twice the horsepower and torque output of a Corvette powering over two and a half tons of a flying brick? It ain't gonna be cheap!

Those are 22 inch HRE 646's. That is not that much for those wheels. 1 22x10 646 is $1900 from HRE

That was some of the crap that went down, and people have bad problems from time to time... really bad. Also he has so many different corporations now that many things its to avoid the legal effects if stuff goes wrong again. Do a search on Viper Alley, the corvette forums, and all over. He says himself that he's only had a few small "mistakes" but when problems appear his responses are sometimes unprofessional and rediculous like "OK nutswingers, relax and go eat some turkey." on an open forum. No explaination of the issue on his end till later, which was merely a "meaning, this is being taken care of." that was his whole post. He's got a lot of crap in his past he wants to go away, and I'm sorry but its too much to ignore for me. There are great stories, and there are horror stories. But how many horror stories to we hear about from places like Lingenfelter or Tbyrne or STS or Thunder Racing or LS1 speed? We might hear a few about missing parts or late work. But selling parts out of customers cars, not giving anywhere NEAR the work paid for to customers and vehicles...

And some of those prices are stupidly expensive...

At higher speeds, the shock value of the truck's numbers increase. For example, Hennessey's Ram accelerates from 0 to 120 mph in 13.1 seconds, or less than half the time it takes the stock version. And this truck is just 0.2 second slower to 150 mph than a ragtop Viper.
:eek: Now that's fast.

6mpg lol thats awesome! Awesome for a truck, but it still can't handle? So its a 100k 12 second truck. Couldn't that be done with a Lightning and a few mods? And still be used as a truck?! Still cool but too much $$$$
