From Supercars...
Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), well known for their extreme performance sports cars and muscle cars, announces their Limited Edition 2010 HPE700 Camaro.
At the heart of the beast is GM's new LS9 supercharged V8 tweaked as only HPE could to 705 horsepower and 717 lb-ft torque. To qualify as a supercar under the HPE banner it can't just go, it has to whoa. With optional 15 inch carbon brakes from the stunning new Corvette ZR1, light weight HRE wheels with Michelin PS2 tires and full suspension upgrades the HPE700 Camaro will be able to make full use of its new found power.
In addition to the power and handling upgrades., Hennessey will also be offering an exterior aerodynamics package to improve downforce at high speed. Penned by British designer, Steve Everitt, Hennessey's Cam-Aero ™ body upgrades include: Carbon fiber rear lip spoiler, carbon fiber side rocker panels, carbon fiber front splitter, front fascia with hideaway-look headlights and front billet grille. Completing the look of the HPE700 is a ZR1 inspired hood design with window showing off the Hennessey's tweaked LS9 powerplant.
"The HPE700 Camaro allows our customers to combine supercar power and performance with classic American muscle car looks in a modern, daily-drive usable sportscar with a backseat and a trunk!," said John Hennessey, President and CEO of Hennessey Performance Engineering. "We will be announcing other Hennessey turnkey vehicle packages for the 2010 Camaro in the near future along with an extensive list of aftermarket performance parts and accessories. But for now, the LS9-powered HPE700 Camaro, replete with ZR1 inspired looks and performance promises to be at the top of the American muscle car food chain later in 2009.
HPE700 buyers will also receive a 1-day performance driving course at Lonestar Motorsports Park – a ¼ mile dragstrip facility located adjacent to Hennessey's 24,000 square foot production facility and showroom.
Hennessey is offering the first HPE700 Camaros exclusively to registered bidders at the 2009 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ. Orders can be placed at the Hennessey display at the show or by phone or email beginning Tuesday, January 13 through Sunday, January 18, 2009. On Monday, January 19, 2009 the HPE700 Camaro will be available to the general public and can be ordered from select Chevrolet dealers as well as directly from Hennessey Performance Engineering.
Base price for the 2010 HPE700 Camaro is $109,500.

I'd wanna see my car done and ready before that sleaze-ball saw a dime of my money.
He can make HP though. Not a lot of reliability from some of what I've read (the Viper he had to push/roll for a mag photoshoot, IIRC), but LOTS of HP.

I wouldn't even give that douchebag a cent to kick him in the nuts. He acts extremely unprofessional on forums.... I'm really surprised he's still around. I would go to Lingenfelter or Heffner anyday before I go to Hennessey.

Three Wheelin'
From what I read, John Hennessey had some supplier issues and did not deliver cars on time...and thus was (rightly) sued because of it. His Better Business Bureau record is apparently not good.
That being said, I read that the trolling of threads was indeed not John, but imposters...who knows for sure, but I read the 300C threads and it doesn't look legit.
If I had a Camaro, I still wouldn't let him touch it, but you can't always believe what you read on the internet. I wouldn't mind driving someone else's HPE700 though

Supplier issues-that's funny . . . try again. He has taken countless amounts of money from folks and never delivered. That guy is nothing but a slimeball.
