Sure if you want to pay 1m for a 250mph car that looks like a stretched out VW bug.

Veyron killer after traction at 150mph if the other viper was any indication.

I wonder if they used a progressive boost program. It sounds like the car is just dumping all the power on at once instead of feeding the boost in...hmm. Look forward to the next attempt :)

If you watched the videos you would notice there are two apparent problems.. the transmission loosing 5th and something causing the car to cut out at high speed. Seems like the 2nd problem is caused by wiring/pcm. With the warbucks Hennessey has, I don't know why they don't fab what they need stronger for the tranny...

The Buggati has less than 1000HP and weighs more and it tops out at 253MPH.. The Viper has about 450 more HP and weighs less, why cant the Viper do it??
