Hennessy Venom 1000.

Has anyone seen this car before? It is news to me. The numbers are quite impressive. It is also impressive that the car came from Hennessy and still has an engine, hood, and wheels and tires.

Hennessy Venom 1000.

"Power Output: 900 - 1300 hp"

oook...

what if my integra has 0-400 hp? that seems a bit of a wide power range. i still want one though, 8 second 1/4 mile is sex.

LOL. Good point.

When I read about this car for the first time, it had 890-something to the wheels, and ran mid-tens on street-tires and high 9's on slicks. It is quite possible that they have done some upgrades since then, considering that article was from 2001. It is also possible that you get 1300HP depending on whether or not your willing to shell out for the upgrades, otherwise, it's "only" 900HP for you.

Hennessy has a bad nack of tearing the cars apart and then not getting them back together for a long long time.

HaHa $20 says it won't last no longer than 200 miles before the motor needs to be stripped down and rebuilt.

If I were to spend that much on a Viper, I would like to see something more like "190+mph" instead of "150+" mph.... I know high 8's are quick... but it's a Viper.... lets see some god damn top end!

Hennessey is a known crook. I've heard of him selling car parts from his clientele's vehicles. He also takes his sweet time with his project cars. Last I heard he had fled the state, but I dunno, maybe those are internet rumors. I think i'd trust Lingenfelter performance group alot more.

Last Hennessy I had heard of was the 800 I think. But that was like 2000 I dont like Hennessy, hes a shady character. He pulls some nice performance out of his cars...then they fall apart. If I wanted that, I would put a big ass NAAWWWSSS kit on a Kia Sephia. And it would cost a helluva lot less than his cars.

Hell, I'm impressed the car ever even made its way back from Hennessy's garage. That guy and his operation is about as shady as it comes, many people have poored mountains of money into their vipers that were sent there, and to get absolutely nothing in return. Just go to the Dodge/Viper section of AF and ask what they think of Hennessy. The numbers that they put out as advertisements are nothing more then a ploy to sucker Viper owners into sending them money.
