You bet he changed how business was done. ALOT of guys on VCA forums sent him their vipers and get ripped off (not finished within deadline or needed alot more money to complete) He took on way to many projects back then.

Granted his work is top notch and i would have any builder touch my 05.

That's alotta dough just to say you have some ZR-1 components in your 5th gen. Anyone wanna guess how badass you could make a 5th gen yourself with that kind of money? (Someone had to say it. )

For less than the 109K they want
Forged 6.2: ~8K
Twin turbos: 8K
Fuel system: 3K
Tuning: 1K
Clutch: 1K
Rear: 2.5K
All for a hell of a lot more horsepower for a hell of lot less dollars.

To get equivalent or better than ZR1 brakes. Add 10K.

Oh ya, add in a sticker or badge advertising: 40K.

yeah the R&D is alot of cost to recoup on a project like that. I don't care for the overall look of "that" particular car but it's engine is cool. Also to the Saleen comment, Saleen is looking into making stuff for them as well

just ask the viper guys how much they like hennesey.

bring in one new car, take parts off that and put them on old projects that youve been sitting on for over a year not doing anything with.

hennesey does make some fantastic claims tohugh

Buy a SS 2010 Camaro and use the 70K$ to mod: you'll have a 1000+hp car.

Its still badass though..
