710HP. Man, that looks like about $6-8K of stuff. :lol
Judging by the VIN, it seems to be early enough to be old sticker as well. Not to mention it is used.
Wow, I guess there is a sucker born every minute.

Roc,

Notice the cars burning oil as well. I've watched the vids, and don't think thats only tire smoke. :skep

Fat tune will give some "gray" smoke - most of what I see appears to me to be tire smoke IMO.

dbtgt,

watch the first video (top one), no tire squeel but smoke. Now that motor might not even be broken in yet, with only 800 miles, so my observation maght not mean anything. Also the motor is really working hard, so a little smoke might be natural. Thanks for the view.

His RWHP is 630. My dynoed at 638 RWHP. Total cost to my upgrades where $6500. Why does he say 700hp then the dyno sheet says 630 RWHP. Who cars what the car is rated at the engine. In the real world on RWHP and T/Q matters. I guess that mean my car is faster then his specs, sweet!!

He is also saying there is about a 11 to 12% loss in the drivetrain. So I guess I have a 728 HP then on my GT. Funny stuff. He is so over priced on everything he does. He wants $20K to give the Bentley GT 100 HP. I got a guy that will chip the bentley for $1000 and get 100 hp.

The video's didn't impress me.
Didn't really seem like it was wide open.
I guess I'll need a test ride :biggrin

Better Remy Martin than Hennessey !!

2,9sec 0 to 60 is a straight lie.. Hennessey is the seller, didn't we have that discussed alright already ?
... And, why does he show in the second video that he is losing oil !? :biggrin
