I have nothing more to say on this subject other than I am doing the best that I can to resolve a cancelled order. Thanks for listening and have a nice weekend.
3. You shouldnt have gotten behind schedule in the first place, no exceptions, what you promise a customer is what they deserve...we're talking about 142 thousand dollars...i may be a little Civic driving kid but i know that ripping someone off for 142 grand is wrong 4. Your customer's hood and wheels should never have been sold in the first place...if i brought my car into a shop for a turbo kit and came back to find there was no hood or wheels, i would most likely return with my Glock, feel fortunate your customer is not a crazy SOB like me. No one wanted to take your wife and five kids away, albeit, it'd be nice if they all were sold into slaveery to pay the people you ripped off back...september 11th is the worst excuse for not being able to fix a car...its time to kill the excuses and provide results.

I don't know if you did all these things that people claim or if you didn't. I'm sure the public would like to know the truth. However I do sense some desperation and BS in your humble explanation, how dare you even attempt to use the September 11th attack to justify your inability to deliver your product? Instead of giving excuses, shouldn't you be delivering results? I have another question, why is that you act so different on the "Viper Forum" than you do on others. I found your comments and flames on the Suicide King Forum to be interesting. It appears you have TWO very different personalities. I had heard about this "Great Hennessey" person and after reading your own posts and posts from other people, I am not impressed. Part of being great is also the person inside. What kind of person are you inside? Do you have integrity? Can you be trusted? What do people say that have dealt with you? Do they think you have integrity and can be trusted? You talk of your family and kids. How will your kids view their father in the years to come? It would appear by your own actions that you clearly have lost sight of what is important in life and how to truly be successful. Your business will fade quickly just as your loyal fans and customers fade. If you are found guilty and do go to jail, will they call you Slide of Hand Hennessey with the fast Viper? This is my humble opinion and should not be construed as fact.

After seeing Johns Venom 800 car get his *** handed to him by Bryce at the Supra Texas meet I still had the upmost respect for J.H. I will be at the Texas 2K2 event next month with my 700+RWHP Supra, I understand we have rented the track out and some in the corvette/viper club will be attending. Im hoping John doesn't bother to show his face, I was sick to my stomach after reading what those poor people were put through. IMO his response is total BS, I noticed he failed to post anything about a refund. I hope the judge hands him his *** in the courts, too bad he will probably hide his assets and move to Florida like O.J. I feel for those customers. I was screwed out of nearly 10K before I started doing my own work so I know how it feels. If there are any Vipers in Orlando that would like to hook up for a friendly race I would be more than happy to accept. : )Adam G

Come to Orlando Speedworld this Friday night and Tom Welch and I will be there. I will not be driving my Viper... because I will be testing my Single Turbo (SP74) Supra. But, Tom will have his 750 Super Snake there if you want to give him a try... Email me if you are interested.

Sweet, I dont think ive met you before. So you have a SP74, Larry is a great guy. Have you seen Jesus's #'s with the T88? 822RWHP, he should go 9.7's @ 144 or so. Just waiting on the clutch and tires. Im putting the Greddy 4 row and the T88 on next week, still need cams and ported heads/intake to come close to Jesus's #'s though. I will come out to watch you guys run however im pulling my T78 tonight as im swapping for the T88 with a friend next week and he needs it polished before we do the swap. It sounds like your car runs pretty good, 10.5's? I dont think I'll be drag racing you guys at the track though. I just removed my RPS 6 puck and it tore the hell out of my flywheel im trying out the stock disk with the RPS pressure plate. I hear it slips like stock and will hold the power just as long as I don't slip it too much. Anyway, maybe we could go out over 417 or something. Last time I seen Tom he was running the Nos + Propane to deep 10's, him and Angel had a good race at the track. I'd like to see them line it up again.------------------

I have been reading the Hennessey posts on here for it seems like years. I have dealt with Hennessey once and almost got screwed, but I was lucky and I won't do that route again. I have not until now commented on any of the Hennessey posts but I just thought that I would make an observation. On all the sites that Hennessey posts on I have noticed that he makes a statement at the begining of the post and then when it starts getting heated you never hear from him again. I see other posts being started by him or commented by him, so you know he is out there, but when people started getting angry and asking point blank questions, he never shows up again. I just found this interesting.------------------

My condolences to everyone who was ripped by this jerkwad. I guess we are just lucky we don't fall into a category considered worth ripping off  ------------------

If someone kept my money idle for one year, i would sure as hell expect an interest on the money borrowed to be given to me. All the people that got ripped need to get together and settle their problems with HMS, and rightfully so. I can't even imagine what i would do if my car was stripped chop-shop style and sold for a profit, then charge ME a restocking fee after I specifically asked for my old parts back. NEVER! If there is justice, someone will pay for all the damages, and i feel sorry for his wife and kids. ------------------

He use to have the hanger right across from my brother's -- where I store some of my cars. One day he just disappeared. I asked someone about it and they said that the rumor was that he couldn't pay his bills.I'm real glad I never had him touch mine.
