That is one killer car... but a quarter million price tag..ouch.. don't know if that is an affordable supercar, but it is still nice nonetheless.

Well, despite Hennessy's flair for bad business practices, it is an awesome car. I don't know if I would part with a quarter mil on a chance that I might or might not get the car in the condition I would expect a quarter million dollar car to be in though.

The guy may be a crook, but he can build cars.

He's also working on a Twin turbo swap for the Ford GT. I noticed an 800hp package on his website already. Wouldn't be surprised if he has plans for a 1000hp GT as well.

And you know it won't be long before he does something with the Ls7 z06.

Yeah I know. I would have never figured out that you can put two turbos on a giant motor and make a lot of horsepower

Apparantly, he's the only guy that has figured that out . Atleast in the high-end tuner class.

I want to see what he does with an '06 C6 Z06 with an LS7, which is what 96_Camaro_B4C asked for in the first place.

Hmmm.....it IS a 427 cu in twin turbo.....so, what could be the difference with aZ06 engine starting point? (I know that there are a few better parts, but damn, LPE don't use junk neither)

So basically you could go put 250k on black or red and have maybe better odds than actually getting of these.

If you go to LPEs site you can see a one off C6 they built that makes 1000rwhp.
