Maybe there is hope after all for American motorsport. Never heard of Hennessey until I saw this today ...

uhh...isn't that chassis based off a British made Lotus Exige and got stretched back?

[Shangsta]

^no the passenger-cell structure of the exige is put onto a custom chassis. And these things are pretty awesome even though I am not a big fan of John Hennesy after the controversy with the vipers. My friend builds the motors for these things.

I'm glad I joined too late to be in on all the vlad drama. Though it echoes around here a lot...

Damn, crazy about Hennesy being such a scumbag. You sort of hear a big name and assume they have a great reputation.

Scumbag or not, that car is seriously impressive.
