Seems like there's another thread where that negative stuff was debunked and/or Hennessey responded.

So I'm not sure if the problems are accurate, a fluke, or an internet rumor still being propagated. And here we have a swipe from elfiero who has already been discredited a couple of times on TMS.

Hearing from owners that have first hand experience is much more credible.

They're still in business, still building fast cars...

The surgeon operated on my wife's knee a year or so ago. It took him 5 minutes to give me a post-op briefing, and then we talked cars for 20 minutes.

the 2013-14 gt500s come with the TR6060 instead of the MT82, and 5th gear in that transmission has a 0.77:1 gear ratio, while the MT82 has a 5th of 1.0:1 gear ratio before going to overdrive.

Wow ! That was John Hennesseys personal car. I wonder what he would sell that Mustang for when he moves on to a different car. I also wonder what times it ran in the quarter mile.
