Not everyone knows that Hennessy has a bad rep. A lot of people still have no idea.

Isn't Livernois in MI? They have been doing great work on multiple platforms for a while now.

That old addage about a fool and his money comes to mind.

Seriously, Hennessey has bad news written all over it and it's easy to find the info.

Best,

I knew about the viper debacle, and researched the bad rep a bit, it seemed at the time that he was on a good path. I really just wanted the look, and between the appearance and hp, I justified the cost. I took a shot, and lost. I'll get over it...

As far as the mustang goes, I think they tried to get away with just bolting on the Whipple and parts that go with it, and claimed that they put their own tune in it... I believe Whipple tuned the car, not Hennessey. I could be wrong though. The car runs great, but i have the Whipple flight control, smaller pulley, exhaust parts, etc. ready to install on the car. I'll get a baseline on the dyno in a week or two and then retune it.

Sounds like you changed your mind from when you made your build thread.

What is/was the evolution scandal?

What is/was the evolution scandal?

It was a 100+ page thread on svtperformance. Just dont let l&m build any engines for you or buy from evolution and youll be great. The thread got deleted a year or so ago per Badcompany's request.

Who and where are L&M and Evolution? I'm guessing there are multiple companies with those initials and that have Evolution in their names.

Damn! This is the first time I hear of this!

Always thought that was a good company, Whenever I hear Hennessy, I automatically assume the best.

Sucks that had to happen!

I remember an article in Car And Driver years ago reflecting poorly on them. Vipers at the time.

"Hennessey's company has gone though a rough stretch the past few years. Some angry customers accused the Houston tuner of taking their money without delivering cars in a reasonable amount of time. (Editor-in-chief Csaba Csere delved into the matter, and his findings were reported in The Steering Column in September 2002.) Hennessey conceded he'd had problems."
