The 300C and H3, you know what i am talking about when i said crappy interiors.
Challenger's panel's were not even, big gaps and point's where the panels touched.

Also, i never grew up on American cars being from Australia as Japanese cars pretty much dominate the market.
Saw my first Corvette when i went to the U.S in 02.

Oh, and the steering wheel is on the left so Australia did not see too many.

True, the interiors aren't that special of a place to be, but the price really does reflect that. ****ty Chryslers that shouldn't even be considered aside, the GT sold for $140k and performed better than Italian and German cars two or three times its price.
I mean, how can you not like this:

Jason.

I see you are a man that likes nice things so i am sure you will appreciate these.
6 pounds a side, it took 63 pounds out of that Gallardo.

Very comfortable seats and a steal at $5800 a set with rails for any fitment.
Mine are in the mail

skywatcher · 08-22-2009, 03:14 AM

Well that works out perfectly, because E-Gear is for women!

E-gear does suck.

The Germans took the passion out of those cars and filled with electronic crap.
It even has the same steering wheel as the RS4

All that and they didn't even manage to fix that whole randomly bursting into flames thing.

I just starched my shorts.

Is the GT supercharged from factory? Is he going twin charged?

my god man!

You've never heard of this kit for a GT? The results are... disturbing.

Edit: Just reread the first post and yeah, Hennessey FTL. The one I'm thinking of is Heffner Performance.

Sorry, not educated on 'Merican cars. Although I do find most of them sexy I just don't know enough about them.

After talking with the shop they leave the stock charger on there to give it more low end grunt until the Turbos come alive then the force of the turbos just blow by the rotors in the charger.

If he keeps the G long enough maybe. He is already looking at SLR's.

Heffner does good work. Hennessey is local to him, Hennessey's business is growing at a rapid pace despite any problems that he had 5 years ago. The parking lot is full of Camaro's getting upgrades.

DoctorNick · 08-22-2009, 03:28 PM

So hennessey was able to live past the unauthorized selling customer parts. I bet those CATs out of the GT end up on ebay or back in a ford dealership parts room pretty soon.

07Wagon · 08-22-2009, 03:43 PM

I don't know how widespread the knowledge of Hennessey's shadiness is. As far as I've seen he gets almost nothing but positive mentions in the print media, and for most people that's enough. I don't know how much influence the stuff on the internet has on his average customer. That being said, were I to ever get some f*ck you money, I'd find another shop.

RoadTrippin · 08-22-2009, 04:02 PM

How much does something like that run? Did he look at the GTX1 conversion? Dunno if you can still get them tho...

Very nice either way

YouTube - Ford GTX1

stArs Inked · 08-24-2009, 10:26 AM

man, that car is going to be stupid fast...

+123345t36 on those CF seats for the black beauty, bet I won't fit in them though.

jo151 · 08-24-2009, 11:27 AM

GTX1

Probably the first time I've ever really wanted a Ford. That car sounds amazing!

HeyZeus · 08-24-2009, 11:57 AM

After all the messed up BS that Hennessey has pulled over the years on people with lots of money; how is he not in jail, still able to operate a business, not have a pair of cement shoes, etc?

I seriously want to know.

BacDoc · 08-24-2009, 12:07 PM

BTW, is that Camaro a Z/28 prototype of sorts?

KingGalantVr4 · 08-24-2009, 12:50 PM

What is Jason Hefner using for tuning on the turbo kits?

teamjordan23 · 08-24-2009, 12:52 PM

The Performance Power Twin Turbo kit is $35,000, I could just imagine how expensive that Hennessey kit must have ran.

How much power is he gonna make on that setup?

I would have liked to see him twin turbo his Gallardo. Now that would have been a beast.

Ford GT's do not have dot matrix dash panels. You must be talking about a MUSTANG GT.

they only made Ford GT's in 05 and 06.

BacDoc · 08-24-2009, 06:27 PM

Why is there still tread on those rear tires?

I sure like carbon (and the little hotties in them). If the seats were COMFY I would consider it.
