I wonder if they're running the stock 3.73's, and if they could have broke 200 with different gears...

Edit: Now that I've watched the video, yeah. I hope they do that.

John Hennessey is a dirt bag. I wouldn't give him the time of day.


Take a look at some of the stuff that Hennessey has pulled over the years.

So can a guy with a new GT take it there and get it upgraded to HPE700?

I just want to know where I can get those awesome penzoil stickers!
If you took off those stickers it could probably have hit 200mph!

So much of this. And his cars always seem to be sub par as compared to what groups like Lingenfelter and the like can do with the same money.

Go out and do a little research on JHP- I wouldn't go anywhere near that outfit(at least not with money in my pocket). I'm actually thinking about a Roush supercharger kit- at least they are dependable......

While I don't have the cash to hand over to Hennessey, I'd have to do more research before I made a decision if I did have the money. That one article is dated 2002. There's an orthopedic surgeon here in town the has a Hennessey modded ZL1 Camaro and loves it. The same doctor all has a GT500 and loves it too.
