That car is gorgeous. Speaking of handling, a friend of mine with a stock viper has trouble keeping tractions at speed in the corners...can't imagine with this thing.

Hennessey quality nuff said....that car was recently in car and driver in an article in which it was compared against the Ford Gt, Z06, and some suped gto and Liverstein (SP) mustang....sure it has tons of power but nothing like what is advertised >< .....also the car had so much down to the wheels the car had to be launched in 3RD GEAR to get traction....was the fastest car in the article, but definately had tons of drawbacks in the article....a stock Z06 was pretty much on par with the viper until they did the mile top speed run

Really nice car to haul to a drag track. all that power must be a #$#*@ to drive as a daily driver or even a weekend around the town driver. but nice looking car none the less.
