Well, it's built by Hennessey, may be he didn't install some parts.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

Did they turbo the 3.8, or just up the boost on the 2.0T?

its a pretty heavy car, so 12.5 isnt bad! probably still needs a lot of tuning. but im sure after that, the numbers will drop quite well.

The carbon fiber matte black wrap must have added a few hundred kilos to the car.

That time is way off for the HP they are claiming especially for a RWD car.
Berz out.

The stock gen coupe by today's standards isn't even that heavy.
Probably just doesn't have the right tires for drag racing, it is a show car after all

Meh yea and who knows what the rear end is like with more power. Maybe they are scared to slap some drag radials or slicks on it for fear of breakage. Would be nice to see what it can do with slicks though.
