I know a lot of people don't like him and his business practices, but all that aside i love the way that car looks.

Lotus Elise with a GM LSx and some turbos. Basically a kit car from a dirtbag crook. It sure does sound good and rolls the **** out for sure.

Looked like some piece of the hood near the left bottom of the windshield was about to fly off. Other than that, sounds nasty! I like the looks too even if its a conglomeration of different cars.

Yeah that's cool... NOT. Wonder what people will say when a skull cracks like a watermelon on those nifty alcantara wrapped roll bars from a simple fender bender.

So what's to stop a "con-artist" like that from putting better parts in the car then they actually offer. How many millions of dollars in free advertising would his company benefit?

Since you asked: http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...World-s-Fastest-270-49-mph-Hennessey-Venom-GT

Otherwise, car is bad ass for what it is. I'd like to see it go up against the P1, Laferrari, Koenigsegg One:1, etc to see how it truly stacks up in overall performance.


if would do well in the acceleration and top speed department but when it comes to handling those factory built hyper cars will destroy the venom, the P1 is my favorite of the new era hyper cars.

Well, the car itself is impressive as heck. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

SSC just got cleared to do their top speed run on the public highway again in their new Tuatara. Should be interesting to see if they beat 270.
