Way too much power for a car that small and light.


A death trap.


Overpriced.

The car is fully caged and John Heinricy is helping with the development.
He's a racer and wouldn't do anything half-fast.

IMO... the exterior is the best looking super car. That said, I wonder if its even a driveable track car or simply a acceleration/top speed gimmick.

With Hennessey's history of taking money and not delivering how many people are going to drop a big deposit on that?

Sorry but the GTR is in the 2 sec club and it can fit 2 more people and costs 100K. These super car companies need to rethink their prices cus more cars are going to be able to push just as good times for a 1/10 of the price... Looks cool..

Hmmm, mishifts at 2:24 and 2:39... Looks like the car's tranny ain't that smooth since shifting to another gear seems difficult.

I know it's still in development, but why announce a car with it's price when it still shifts like that??? If you look carefully towards the end of the run (3:18), it seems like John Heinricy is putting a little more effort than usual to put it into gear. See how he really needs to push the shifter in??
