[kennyhemi]

Anybody know the hisssstory(sorry I had to do that)of this car?
How much does the Venom "upgrade" really cost over the base viper? and what do you get mechanicly for it, I know about the trim upgrades but before I call this benforauctions and inquire I want some information of where this car's been and how/why did it end up at an auction house! Any info. will be highly appreicated.

Damn, another post on a "H" car. My advice is look at the posts on "H" and "H" cars. I think there is a big thread going on concerning Hennessy cars on the GTS/RT10 section of this Forum(see getting a car upgraded at H). Something I would never buy or own.

 

[Disturbed]

why?


The mods done to that 650R is nothing more than headers, exhaust and a set of air filters. You can pick all that up for about 5k retail. If you wait for good deals about 2500. The 3" exhaust system can be done by any shop for a no more than $1000

Also they ONLY header system for a GEN 4 that will not cause a check engine light is the BALLANGERS.A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT caused by a customer added bolt on power part can cause the factory warranty to be voided .(not to mention try selling a new car that has the CHE light on )

Thanks doctorbob, I have read enough on the H cars and even thou I was planning on buying the car and not dealing with the man himself. I will look for nice gen 4 and mod it myself.

I was always under the impression that the "H" cars were great builds. I know the 1100 or 1200 Venom (whichever it is) has made some of the most publicity of all Vipers, if not the most.

I agree I wouldn't own it.

Well at least this one doesn't have that ugly Hennessey front bumper cover.
That Hennessy aero bumper looks positively aweful.
Tell me I'm not the only one that thinks that way.

I agree! That's what I like about it, it's stock appearing. I never did like that fat lower hennessey lip bumper and that ricer looking spoiler!

I've seen this car in person. Its very clean and sounds great. I've been to H's shop a few times. Even though he seems to have cleaned up his act, not sure I'd let him touch my Viper if I had one.

Oh boy..here we go again.

 

[VAViper]

The negative impact from the viper community would be enough to even make Forest Gump Run.....
The mans name should be banned from the VCA.

 

[J DAWG]

does anyone think the car actually puts down 678 rw with just exhaust and filter?

or are they saying that is flywheel hp?

Consider this: new '08s are priced ridiculously low...take Palmer dodge for example: $69K for a new '08. Take one of these and slap on the Belanger headers/exhaust and perhaps the new MOPAR controller. Have the work done by a reputable tuner/dealer/tech that supports the VCA. You'll be way under $82,950 and have a killer Viper you won't be having second thoughts about.

Couldn't agree more! Plus it won't have 5700 miles either.

It's easy for me to spend other people's money.

Belanger headers and exhaust, the only way to go. Lots less money, lots of hp and no problems.

Plus no check engine lights that can void the factory warranty and make resale impossible.
