Hennessey Venom GT omfg
 

the Venom GT broke cover on Monday and will come with the ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 modified to push out 725 hp. That's nestled into the lightweight Lotus body, and the total will tip the scale at less than 2,400 pounds.

Looks slow.

Awesome!

Yes these pictures make it look like it's standing still

The new Batmobile.

Will do 0-60 in yesterday and 1/4 mile in last week.2 seconds

I can see my youngest son wanting that for a toy in the garage. :D

The car looks gorgeous, especially in black. Damn sexy!

Hennessey is a crook.

I wonder what the weight distribution is?

seriously ... wouldn't give him a cent in business...

i think they also have it up to 1200 hp?

Yeah they have a 1200hp version as well

You want to expand on this or just rambling? :ugh2:

There have been a couple issues in the past where he failed to deliver and "took" money without providing anything.
These were many years ago and he has since then completely changed all his staff, especially those doing the day to day operations. Now I am not saying I would give him my money to work on my car, but a lot of people have said things have gone a complete 180 for the better with him & his company.

Most saying this now have not been around things lately and just remember old stories.

Do you think I could buy one and use it as my comfy daily driver?

its an extended exige with a corvette engine. Most unoriginal thing ever. fast yeah, but no merit in it.

how would this car handle? with the extra bulk of the corvette engine i'm sure weight distribution will be affected. and with such a lightweight chassis, would the car be able to generate traction to use this power let alone the 1000hp planned version?

Wow! John Hennessey is a crook! Yeah, the Viper guy. - GM Inside News Forum

Click the link below that story and look how the guy acts on a forum.

Again, check the dates. He has done a 180 since then, not saying he is not a "douche" type of person, but his business has turned around by hiring proper management and people who know how to get things done.

The vette engine is alum and is very light. Its lighter than some V6's actually. For example, the weight distribution barely changes in an RX-7 when you swap a newer LSx motor into it.

how about the traction issue? how can such a light chassis compress the rear tires enough to generate traction for the engine's power? racing slicks seem almost mandatory for such a car.

Well I can bet it is running 335 wide rear tires which will help a good bit, I would say no matter what it is going to spin in first and probably a good bit of second. I think the idea of this car is to be an "ooo we did this."
