That is a really sharp looking car and fast as hell. That price is crazy too.

That's hot.

Did anyone see the standing mile acceleration test in September's Road & Track? A Hennessey Viper (convertible model) had the highest finishing trap speeds (210mph), and the second highest times (about 25 seconds... don't have the article handy). Fastest times went to a Champ car, with about a second lead on the Viper. Oh, and I'm not counting the F-18, which ran 23.x at 308mph.

So this coupe model should be even a little bit faster, which is absolutely incredible.

Nice to see Hennessey come out of his financial troubles and deliver such beautiful machines.

I remember a horror story of one Viper owner who was waiting for months with a promise of delivery any day, only to discover some of his car parts have been taken off and sold.

Re: 2006 Dodge Viper Hennessey Venom 1000 Coupe

Good Gracious, I think I just wet myself.

I've said it before, and I have to say it again now: I think the Viper COUPE is a little bit ahead of the Z06 in terms of styling (only). I'd take the Z06 any day of the week, as it is a far superior car overall. For some reason the Viper roadster, with its different wheels and (obviously) different bodywork, doesn't do so much for me. But the Coupe version, with the better wheels and different profile, turns me on.

That particular Viper, in black and with the Hennessee extended front clip, is just plain sexy. Throw in 1000 hp?

*Waits for a low-compression, twin turbo LS7 from LPE*

For moral reasons, I'd never take a Hennessey, even if it was given to me.
BTW, how is this a "future vehicle"?

Yeah, seems like he's been a little shady at one time or another, or at least some customers claimed he was. Don't remember the details...

As for future vehicle:

The title of this forum has been, for a while now: "5th Gen and Future Vehicle Discussion/Automotive News"

I guess this new Hennessee would fall under automotive news.

Because you need a crystal ball to determine whether or not Hennessy is still going to be in business, in jail, or will actually provide you with a car at all after you send him your money.

Don't forget about him "testing" the car for kinks and selling your old parts (who knew Viper rims and tires were worth money )

335/30 YR20 rear

These aren't going to be cheap to replace. And with 1100 TQ, how are you EVER going to get traction?

Damn that car is so sexy, except for that front bumper. Looks kind of like a plow.
