Hennessey Lamborghini Murcielago

[blindside.AMG]

John Hennessey is stepping up to the plate with this turbo kit for the Murci. If it works and is reliable I think it'll kick ass. 800 HP Murcielago!!!

I wouldn't send my car to Hennessy if he was the last tuner on the face of the earth period. The has been enough financial and customers service issues with this company in the last few years to make Enron look like saints. You can go to any Viper or Vette forum and do a search and BAM you will be shocked at the storys and lawsuits.

Furthermore, most tuners try and concentrate on one or two vehicle formats or brands i.e. Hamman (BMW, Ferrari), Brabus/Startech (MB, Smart, Chrylser), LPE/MTI (LS1, GM). Look at Hennessey, his concentration was Chrysler but now he is doing Jags, Porsche, Benz, Audi, and LAMBORGHINI. Whatever, I would let many people if any modify my Lambo and definitely not his ass. It take years to perfect tuning, customer service, and reliability. I highly doubt that he has perfected tuning of Audi RS6's and Porsch Cayennes. There just too new. I can think other things to do to my ultra expensive toys than to let HPE butcher them, and that is even if they actually do the work.

W3RD! Hennessey sucks! There has been so much bad shit written about him. He's on the BBB's bad list. He can't get the work done and have continuous engine problems. Hennessey needs to keep his hands off of the Lambo, all he'll do is fuck it up. Espcially since working on a Murci engine would be way different from a Viper.

I don't care if Henessey sucks. An twin-turbo 800 HP Murcie has my vote, and I don't care who does the modification.

[jtrader]

there is also gemballa but mostly affolter in switzerland who tunes murci like that and also koenig is working on a twin turbo of 850-900 bhp

i personally called affolter and being that i'm going to buy a murcielago soon, waiting to see roadster version or a se(special edition which will come out in january 2004, as sant' agata factory told me)- they also have spoilers, telecameras to put(to see behing and others)

C'mon now! If a Viper's engine can handle a 1000 hp a Lamborghini shouldn't have a problem handling 800!

All of that is what I've heard and read time and time again. Him selling off parts. Check this out.

Doesn't look too good to me.

The tuning industry seems to be riddled with people like this. Feels like you can't trust anybody.

[hiphophomer]

haha this is so funny

[gthomas1]

Here's a better reputable tuner, with alot more experience in exotics
http://www.koenig-specials.com/lambo...ni-diablo.html
Also, the Diablo was capable of handling over 1150 horsepower, but the rest could not.
Turbo's, S/C's were detuned to 800 ponies for reliability.
The Diablo's are capable of handling 1000 horsepower, but you will have major reliability issues.
