LMAO..!! FOR SURE...!! and being a "SHELBY"..well,...its too funny...I get all the time "I didnt know THEY made a truck"... and last week someone asked..."Is that your GF's name"....OMG...didnt even tell the real GF that one.But the best,which I put in another post,was being pulled over by State Patrol..78 in a 55...OK,here comes a ticket that could of bought me 3 tanks of gas... Trooper gets out,and asks for license and says..."this is a Raptor,huh?".... and walks away..comes back super fast,grin on face.."Today is your lucky day....these things are fast,so you better slow it down"... I grinned back and said,yep,and this one is even faster with a 590HP Whipple SC.....guess he never heard of it and here we are on highway with him asking me all about it....
Of course when I told the GF I was pulled over I get the I TOLD YOU SO....but with tears in my eyes I told her the story and it even got a little grin out of her and a,"Well,it is a pretty truck"...LOL
Gotta love the RAPTOR.>!!

Took a tour of the shop however they didn't allow any cameras in the back but I managed to snap a few pics anyways.

Ha, they dont want customers cars on the internet because they are swapping parts from car to car!

John Hennessey threatened to sue me over a post on the Jeep forums in 2006. Quite the read if you have some free time: https://www.cherokeesrt8.com/threads/jeep-srt8-turbo-road-testing.622/#post-5429

That backfired beautifully on him but he didn't have enough fun yet so a few days later John went on the 300C forums and called out the moderators for letting users post real life stories about him and it got real ugly: https://www.300cforums.com/threads/efool-gets-punked-on-his-own-board.21978/

Those two threads had almost 1M views and spread onto numerous other car forums. We also found out that John changed his business name 4 or more times to run from reviews/BBB/lawsuits. Hennessey Performance, Hennessey Motorsports, Hennessey MTR, Hennessey Performance Engineering, etc.

Its a damn shame they are still in business with him at the helm. If only someone could educate the auto manufacturers and overseas customers of his business practices.

First class *************! I feel bad for anyone who has Hennessey vehicles, including my nephew who bought that stupid 6 wheel raptor abortion.

Your nephew isn’t Post Malone is he?
