05GT Guru Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Depends on the specs. But from all the horror stories with Hennessey I would have to pick lingenfelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that seems a little over the top Does anyone really need 8 cars? especially that expensive of ones? I guess I should not talk too much. I have 5 vehicles, but in my defense the one worth the most is my Chevelle, and its only worth about $20K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 What are some stories? I haven't heard of any. They are all over the intertron if you google. Multiple customers have made claims of keeping cars long past their agreed upon finish date. Some customers even claiming parts they had paid for were no longer with the car. It is hard to get the whole truth over internet posts though. But when guys who can afford 100k cars and then pay you 50-150k to upgrade the cars start sueing and receiveing court ordered settlements it doesn't look good. “If you were out of state, man you were fair game,” said Kyle Kent, a former employee at Hennessey Motorsports. When an out-of-state car came in it was sometimes parted out, with the wheels, tires and whatever else looked good going to other cars waiting to be finished or sold outright, according to Kent and others inside Hennessey Motorsports. Then Hennessey would call the car’s owner and try to sell him an upgraded kit. If the customer balked, Hennessey would take parts from other cars in the shop, or just let the job sit."

Did a little research. From what I've read all this happened around 10 years ago. I haven't found any resent "horror stories". Not saying it isn't wrong but it seems they have got their stuff together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Speaking of Hennessy This is so Badass. I would take this over a regular raptor any day.

I am a huge GM truck guy, but I will have to admit I seriously looked at buying a Raptor, but Im glad i did not spend the money since I am not a big off road guy.
