Whenever someone mentions Hennessey my mind flashes to that not-so-flattering thread he posted in on that Chrysler forum a few years back. I'd never seen someone act so childish and idiotic when someone dared to question his ethics/business practices. The way that thing spread around the 'net like wildfire, I think he lost serious credibility in enthusiast circles.

Although I don't personally know the guy, I have seen numerous threads where he carries on like a two year old hurling insults and a total lack of caring when people demand answers about their cars or parts. Questions that always come up are why their cars have shoddy work, why people didn't get the parts they paid for, why are their orders way over the quoted cost, why he sold parts from their cars while he had them, and/or why are their orders taking more time that they were supposed to take.
But I guess if people are nice enough to write glowing reviews like this for the guy, I guess some old geezer with more money than common sense will be ripe for the taking.

That's not a glowing review, that's the "corporate bio" they put on the end of their own press releases. THEY (or a PR hack working for them) wrote that.
