    Looks like a McLaren that had some real styling input. It looks great.

    Looks good. Wish it was attached to a better company, but we will see how fast it is.

    I've always liked that VW concept. The orange one has a nicer front bumper.

    It will take a BRAVE soul to take a Hennessey built car to 250MPH and beyond.

    Nelson racing engines will sell you a 1600 hp TT SBC.

    The hennesy build cant comment on that.

    Tires i would think are the major issue.

    Also besides a bar room brag, of what purpose is 300 mph car.

    A properly geared 200mph or 175 mph car is whats needed, but then I suppose with shorter gearing 1600 hp would be totaly undeployable. 1600hp and 300 mph are the ehadline numbers upon which this car will be sold, the rest does not matter.

    Nah, should be okay as long as Hennessey didn't pull parts from the car to put on other customer cars prior to a top speed run. ;) ;)
