Hennessey called my car a POS and me a pussy when I asked him to meet up for a canyon run or a little track time… :smiley:

Seemed like a pretty glowing review, he said it was the fastest thing he had ever driven.

now that is awesome. love it.

Been thinking about doing an S1 Hennessey style thing in my garage. Would love to keep the standard wheelbase as well

The engine in the background is an LS V8 from a Corvette (similar to what is in the Hennessey), the chassis in the foreground is my S1

A lot of the transaxle gearboxes put the drive shafts out at the very front. But by the time you have the bell housing inbetween, its moved the axles back too far. The bulkhead does come totally out on mine, so with that out and the fuel tank removed (would have to be replaced with saddle tanks each side of the engine, it could go forward quite a bit, but I dont know if it would be enough.

Hey ho, something for me to mull over for a bit.

Obviously the rear subframe would have to go, and be replaced with a tubular jobby that was more suitable.

It’s funny how it is never tested on a track unless you want to call an air strip a track… He won’t meet me for a canyon drive or will he do a little track time with me… i wonder why ?

Just buy an Ultima :whistle:

Hey Frank did you get a hug :wink:

I don’t know if you would call it a hug but he did blow in my ear… :slight_smile:

They should paint it a sort of grey/green colour :wink:
