I think that would be a great "project" for them to do. I know there isnt much of a market for the v6's. That is why it took so long for a supercharger to come out for our cars. But I still think It would be neat to see a turbo'd 3.8. My car can be first in line for the project.

IMO Hennessy is a scam artist and Lingenfelter wont waste his time. If someone wanted a car as fast as a TT 3.8 they would just buy an LS1 and mod it a little. In the end they would have just as much power in a cheaper car.
A TT 3.8 would be "cool" but the cool factor is only worth so much in real $$$.

well market wise, lets see... If I could afford a v8 with reliabilty I would get one.
most people that interested in spending that much money would jsut upgrade there car.
As for them doing it for fun... sure. I think it would be cool. I mean who really needs a $125k awd 427 TT Sonoma?

not IMO, hennessey is a scam artist.
Some people are good at tuning cars, some are good at business, apparently this guy is only good at one.
I would love to see Lifenfeller do somehting but, I enjoy any build up.
