Hennessey Performance = Con-Artists

Yes Hennessey has built some fast cars, and I remember when the first round of this went on 20 years ago.

Ex-Employees Say Hennessey Is A Bigger Mess Than You Ever Imagined

The ex-employees’ corroborating accusations included misusing company funds, using one customer’s deposit to build another one’s car, passing off subpar parts and components as exclusive and top-of-the-line equipment, using underhanded tactics designed to prevent clients from getting refunds, and consistently failing to deliver certain customers’ cars—especially when they were foreign buyers.
This guy has ripped off more people than can be counted; I wonder when he'll end up on prison for fraud

No surprise here. Basically doing the same **** he did in the early to mid 2000's with the viper scene. Idk why people kept sending him business after that.

Yea... I was going to order some Hennessy stuff for the Denali... And then I looked into it. Nothing better than $12k for. $5k magnussen supercharger...

Total rip off.

And they are rude.

I think the only thing they have going for them, is their friendship with epa/carb.... Everything they sell is smog legal.

And expensive...

For the record, I think Whipple is superior to Magnussen.
You just can't beat a Twin Screw for efficiency and they are all CARB

I agree. You get a little more power on the whipple. And of course the 2.9 over the 2.3...

However... Black bear is a dealer of bothe and did and install of both and the magnussen was complete bolt on while the whipple had some "issues".

Until they sort those issues I wasn't going to look into them...

Alas... That money is going to go to a cage now anyways...so the truck stays stockish for now.
