WOW! Words cannot describe just how puckered my bung would be from a run like that!

Hennessey's operation is just a few miles down IH 10 from here and appears to be a rather nice facility. I occasionally see a monochrome black rather sinister looking Cadillac CTS-V running around out here with the Hennessey logo on the trunk.

Per their website, they have plans to build a road course on site in the near future..

Too bad he can't run a business properly as he has some talent for making things go fast.

Amazing car and run. I can't even imagine what it's like to ride in or drive that beast.

Yeah, there were rumors, allegations, facts? going back, what, 15 years, maybe 20 to the viper days, of parts being removed from one customer's car and then being installed in another customer's car among other things. Just last night I saw something posted on Facebook by Road and Track about problems with Hennessey. I didn't read it. I assume it was more of the same old thing.

After reading that article, I suspect the road course is a no-go... no?
