Default Hennessey Shelby GT500

Dropped my car off at PSI to get my shifter, CMCV, and Plugs installed today. This is what was sitting there. He said it was one of his Hennessey customers and the car dyno'd at over 700RWHP but they just installed a smaller pulley and expect over 750RWHP. The car has a whipple S/C, Full length exhaust, and very aggressive tune that i know of...

it was kinda late and he was in the middle of a dyno or i would have had him pop the hood...

i pick up my car tomorrow and will try to take a few more pics...you would not believe how many Terminators, regular cobras, Lightenings, GT's, ect this guy has outside in his parking lot and they are all suped up.

Basically everybody in South Houston take there stuff to him cause he is that good. I would venture to guess that there are about 15 cobras, 5-10 lightenings, and god only knows how many blown GT's there at all times.

Does the edge of the hood over hang like that on all the cars? First i've noticed it.

Hennessey = ?

Not trying to be rude, just don't know if that's special or anything.

Are you joking or not? Can't tell...

Have you never heard of Hennessey Viper before?

Hennessey is the one that modded all the vipers in years past...remember the Hennessey Venom 1000? Twin Turbo Viper thathad to adjust its boostat different mph just to keep it from spinning the whole time...it spanked the Veyron in the race to 200mph as well as other catagories...

"From launch to 60, there's 8 lb. of boost, which helps the bored and stroked V-10 to produce 800 bhp at the rear wheels. From 60 to 90 mph, boost is raised to 10 lb. for 900 bhp. From 90 to 120 mph, it's 14 lb. for a nice even 1000 bhp. And at 120 plus, 16 lb. of boost endows the big pushrod aluminum powerplant with 1100 bhp"

Personally, I was unaware that Hennessey had anything to do with the S197's but apparently, they are modifying GT500's now...

My buddy knows a guy who works a hennessey. The same guy is friends with the guy at PSI in Houston.

Last week the guy my buddy knows got to work on a viper that they did heads, cam and some other stuff to to make 6xx rwhp with only 2 miles on it. Then they loaded it back up and sent it back to cali. ****s sweet
