What I love about it, well, there's really no end to all the great things to say about that ride...

BUT, one of the top 2 is that you could drive up next to the Bugatti, look over and smile that smile ... you know the one I'm talkin' 'bout, and actually drive out and back it up. Plus, while I don't know what Hennesey is sellin' 'em for, I expect you could do so, while saving a TON O'Coin! Seems like the Bugatti goes for 2.1meg, IMS... .

LOL! Right! ??

Then all they'll need to do is find a Ford GT tearing *** down the road at 271 MPH... which of course they won't, because such doesn't exist, but it won't matter and that's why we love'em!, cause they CRAZEH~

I didn't actually notice they used a lotus body tell after I watched the first vid... Is it a lotus body or just where they got the design? And it's got a Chevy engine and ford trans to make a badass supercar. Pretty cool IMO

first off, the guy is a POS, screwed way too many people over (not sure if he gave the peoples money back or not but wither way.... still a POS)

also IMO its not really a production car, they only made 10. Im sure underground racing has more then 10 Ford GT TT and twin turbo lambos. out there and the car is not worth the 1 million price tag it had on it


still don't understand why someone would buy this... you can get a ford tt and built motor with a turbo kit probably for close to 400K and walk circles around this thing and would be just as reliable

You know a Ford GT holds the tx mile record at 278 right.

Actually it was 267.6 MPH but it has died in action since then.

Just for a comparison between the Veyron and Venom GT I put together this:

This car, and anyone that actually puts a deposit down on one, is a joke.
