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.
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 $$$$
