[@rars0n]

It amazes me that even despite the ridiculous prices Hennessey charged for their modifications that they still had problems with providing customers what they paid for. I remember reading about these things as they were happening. More than a few customers had laid down BIG cash only to have their cars sit for months and get parted out. Brand new Vipers that got gutted and sat gathering dust after they'd paid 6 figures in upgrades. It seriously makes me question whether Hennessey didn't have some sort of crazy drug problem or something. Regardless of what he claims, he really did screw quite a few customers and there's no way in hell I'd ever give that dude any money. Especially because he's way overcharging for what he does. Any competent tuner with access to parts can do what he does for a lot less. It blows my mind that people keep giving him money, yet Saleen went out of business after making a MUCH cooler car. Yeah, I know Saleen is still around but it's effectively been stolen by the Chinese government. I think both Steve Saleen and John Hennessey were smart car guys but terrible business owners. However, at least Saleen had the integrity to conduct business in an honest manner, unlike Hennessey. This guy still gets lauded by car guys to this day, and it's bullshit. He deserves all the ridicule that he gets. With a planned total of 24 F5s that have probably already been paid for, color me not surprised when it turns out that he ends up not delivering, yet again.

[@JexporDiamonds]

Doubt so mate. They seem pretty neutral on this. They pointed out every single wrongdoing. But without any official news pointing out Henny's wrongdoing. Claiming he had done those wrong would put them into a lawsuit with Henny. Thus they only said "unofficial" After that they are just really fans of cars that sound cool and go fast. Nothing much about being bias

[@rocketssss6]

I have a 2012 LS9 camaro from them. It was "limited edition" and let me tell you. IT IS JUNK. I paid a lot of money for fake carbon fiber(no joke they ebay carbon fiber wrapped the rear under bumper "diffuser"), Used my factory rear tires on the aftermarket fronts(HRE wheels) and bought shitty factory tires in a larger size(305s) for the rear. I asked to not drive the car because I was going to use it as a "collector" and they put 230 miles on it of supposed "testing." I'm sure it was actually them letting other people drive my car. After being 4 months past delivery date, I showed up out of the blue to pick it up. It was wrong order, wrong colors(accents), and wrong number plate(I specifically asked for a certain number on badge). Then to top it off, they tried to cheer me up by testing driving (with me in the passengers seat) a customers car that they said they "wouldn't mind." So please, RUN, don't walk away from Hennessey performance. I lost $60k+ because the car is maybe worth 70k now(paid 120k total)

In one particular case that I remember, the customer had shipped his car to Hennessey and paid nearly a hundred thousand dollars for upgrades, only to wait for months and months with no real updates on the car. Eventually he flew out to Texas and visited the shop, where he saw his car covered in dust and missing many of the stock parts. There have been many more stories about similar situations, where customer cars have been parted out or people have paid in advance for work that never got done, etc. I don't think that he purposefully set out to scam anyone, but I think he's absolutely terrible at running a business and this has caused his company to have a very bad reputation for those who know about him. There's also the fact that the shop's reputation is not that great even for the work that they did do. IMO Hennessey builds magazine cars, cars that can be flogged on for a day and then handed back to him, before anything catastrophic happens.

You know how they say if something is too good to be real it probably isn't? Well Hennessy being a wizard of making any car a performance car kinda sounds an example

Hennesy is con-man with nothing but half-delivered promises and kit cars.

@Basado It's pretty much true. I mean, I wouldn't call them kit cars, but his promises are definitely half-delivered at best. Total con man for sure. I have no idea why people continue to give him money.

[@rars0n]

@Rodolfo Ramos Any competent tuner with access to parts can do what Hennessey does for a fraction of the price. His prices from the very beginning have always been absurd (which begs the question as to why he has to part out and sell customer cars in order to keep the business running). $15k to make 450 HP in a 3000GT? That's absurd! Sure, the tuning scene was extremely young back then and not a lot of people were doing that, but that's still a ridiculous price for what amounts to some basic bolt-ons. He built his company out of scamming people that don't know any better. Because car magazines keep lauding his company.

[@92suzukigsx1100g]

@@rars0n it was more one off custom parts for the 3000 back then. It was expensive

[@rars0n]

@@92suzukigsx1100g Of the mods that I can find documented, most likely the most expensive one was the "programmable computer," whatever that may have been. Exhaust and intercooler fabrication was nothing new, and Mitsubishi turbos are cheap and some of them bolt right on to replace the stock turbos. Boost control can be made with $5 worth of parts. Most of the early tuner guys started out doing the cheap mods because those were most easily done and readily available. Even with "custom" parts I find $15k to be ridiculous. It just doesn't add up. He didn't even have an aftermarket clutch in that car.

I find it funny that they want to get those results with a v8 twin turbo with the bugatti having a w16 quad turbo

[@misterdinner3648]

@@marcodonno2856 Theres more to horsepower than cylinder count and turbos. The w16 engine is needlessly complicated, a v8 can make more horsepower with less technology, but a v8 isnt flashy enough for a luxury hypercar. But also, the chiron's engine is designed for longevity, Its a luxury car after all, the w16 can make tons of power with not that much effort. However, the hennessey f5 weighs almost half as much as the chiron, and produces 1800+ horsepower from its v8. It may not be as reliable or luxurious as the chiron, but its gonna be really fucking fast and no one can deny that, especially if it has better aerodynamics than the chiron.

Growing up with parents who were in the drag racing scene in Houston, I always heard a lot about Hennessey and none of it was ever good. Honestly from some of the people the he scammed and took advantage of, I don't know how he is still alive. He had people all over the country sending him death threats for screwing them outta a LOT of money.
