Wow, I always thought the guy seemed a little shady from reading between the lines on the C&D reviews of his products (like when he used bag after bag of ice to ice down his intercooler in the supertuner challenge, just so he could beat the LPE car), but now I know he’s a crook. ---

No matter how much of a crook he may be, this still falls under “Buyer beware”. If I gave him my car that cost me over $75,000 and was expecting him to do $30,000+ worth of work on it, I’d be checking up on him atleast every other week. That is some horrible business practice though… taking parts from one customer’s car to finsh another… It was only a matter of time til something like that (and all the other shit that he may pull) came back to bit him in the ass. ---

Hennessey digs himself into a deeper hole on a regular basis. While he does know what he is doing, his ego walks into the room about a full week before he gets there. he has been riding the “I was first and the magazines have been giving me a handjob since” bit for YEARS now. He has been surpassed by so many companies it is funny, yet his prices remain SKY HIGH. On a side note, I do feel that he IS making an attempt to straighten his business out. Time will tell. ---

> [@ghettostyleTA](#): > > what a dick > > wasn’t there a thing years ago where viper owners were filing suits against him cause he kept their cars for oh - forever? Yeah… but more specifically, it was that he was having money issues. Allegedly, he would basically take your order, take your cash, take your car… and then strip your car of any parts it wouldnt need after the “build,” and would use your money+parts money to complete older customers’ cars. As you can imagine… you quickly fall behind the 8-ball with this practice. ---
