Hennessey Venom GT

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/venomgt.html

Up to 1200bhp :astonished:

Go on, you know you want one.

Id request a better fit of the dodgy Carbon Fibre Instrument binnicle cover though ā€¦

And who would want diamond stiched black alcantara seats ? ā€¦ oh hang on ā€¦

I need to get more modding done :blush: Looks great tho :sunglasses:
BUT
That engine lid is all wrong for me, looks totally lost on top of there :frowning:

Itā€™s quite nice but I still think the best ever looking Elise/Exige was the one off V6 Sport Exige that was done back in 2005ā€¦ wow time flies! It was just so perfectly proportioned, very much like the redheaded lass draped over it at the timeā€¦

Pics of red headed draped lass required!!!

Tut tut Sean!

Rememberā€¦ You are in the newness of marriage!!! :blush:

Iā€™ve been in for 22 years, does that mean it ok for me :smiley:

So I was having a nice chat on http://www.teamspeed.com/forums/superca ā€¦ video.html
and Hennessey sent me a PMā€¦

So I had this in my in box this morningā€¦ I hate PMs

hey ronin
i can see that you do not understand our car. but why bash something you dont understand or have never seen in person? are you in socal? if so then i invite you to come and see the car in person and i would be glad to tell you more about it. i am here in our lake forest shop all week. just let me know if you want to come by and take a look.

Itā€™s true I donā€™t understand your car, why take a Lotus and try and make it something itā€™s notā€¦Itā€™s still a Lotus.

Dude why not bring your Lotus up to LA. and we can go for a little cruise in the canyons since you are in So.Ca. we can do a little side by side comparason like David and Goliath in the real world.
Iā€™m sure that will give you something to use for marketingā€¦and something for me to smile aboutā€¦Bring a film crew and letā€™s have some fun in the real world.
Do you think that thing can stay on itā€™s own side of the road ?


This could be fun, now who wants to bet it never happens ? :whistle:

Sadly, of course, itā€™ll never happen :smiley:

Now, get both cars out on Leguna Seca for a proper testā€¦where JH just may turn up :wink:

Keep us posted, cozzun Frank :wink:

My brother from a different mudda, I need to show this chump what a real Lotus can do in ā€œthe real worldā€ā€¦ Tracks are only a canyon replacementā€¦and his car is not a track carā€¦or is mine. :smiley:

Weā€™ll see since this is the first time Iā€™ve been able to get him to respond to anything.

Donā€™t see how you could possibly do a comparison test (of the type you envisage) on a public road - unless it is closed just for that purpose???

In the meantime, keep prodding him with that big stick, which you posted a photo of recently! :smiley:

I always knew there was something ā€˜unusualā€™ about you, Rob.

As for the big power Exige posturing, well how you can properly exercise such machinery on the public highway is beyond me. Best of luck to both of you though and do show us a video. I had a poke around the Venom at Goodwood and it looks well enough, though not much to my tastes.

I tell the world I drive a Lotus not something made from salvaged bits and call it something elseā€¦ He claims itā€™s only 10% Lotusā€¦what a joke.

If he wants to take it to the track Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll have no problem tossin my keys to one or two Brits lookin for a ride in my rocket pigā€¦

But I really want to see how it does in the real world without crossin the centerline through the twistiesā€¦ You know the roads a ā€œLotusā€ was made forā€¦ :whistle:

Says the man with a penchant for lairy tattooed limbs! :wink: :smiley:

Oh well I was banned from Teamspeed.com for not kissin the ass of a vendorā€¦
It seems Hennessey didnā€™t like to be called out in publicā€¦

No one dare ask for proof from these ripoffsā€¦ I guess there is no real world comparison of a $850,000.00 salvaged Lotus and my rocket pig. Itā€™s a shame.

OK, I probably deserve that!

I tried as best I could to get Hennessey to step up but he has refused to take the baitā€¦ So this guy is all smoke and mirrors as Iā€™ve heardā€¦

a $100,000.00 supercar afraid to go up against my bumfuck special rocket pig. :smiley:

Appears one turned up at SEMA this year:

Tag line from Evo mag: ā€œOne of only four in existence, with a claimed 0-200mph time of just 15.3 secondsā€.

Whatever anyone says , I still like them. Especially in red.
