do a search, Hennessey is famous for screwing people, he decided to experiment with nitrous on one guys C6, blew the heads off, then simply said "wasn't me." There's numerous cases of people sending their vipers for TT conversions, and then they are never finished, and stripped of all the valuable parts and sold. the hood for a second gen viper is 15K i believe.

What he said. If you've got a big enough e-peen, you can search the viper forums. He's had quite a few lawsuits against him. Yet some how, people still send him money.

Yeah that's the name. That guy had his renderings out for a LONG time before this Henessy crap. I think someone from that company saw the renderings and decided they could be the ones to manufacture it. They should toss some credit to where it's due.

I don't recall Jinx's Camaro exactly, but I don't think Hennessey's is a knock off. (Even if he does butcher cars, and steal money) lol

jinx's designs are on 5thgencamaro.org, look in the photoshop section. that's one of his designs.

do not do business with hennessey, he's a thief and criminal. plenty of stories to find.
