Hennessy Viper LOL Ford GT steps up!


Thats right, the Ford GT finally gets a little bit of love from John Hennessy, owner of Hennessy Performance Engineering. Hennessey replaces that supercharger with two massive Garrett ball-bearing turbochargers that swamp the engine with up to 19 pounds of boost through an air-to-water intercooler and Tial wastegates. Running at 17 pounds of boost, Hennessey says the twin-turbo GT will rip the rollers of its chassis dyno to the tune of 870 hp at the rear wheels. Use any reasonable rule of thumb to account for drivetrain losses and this puts the car at almost exactly 1,000 hp, Hennessey claims.

Cliffnotes??

What Works:
Top-end acceleration that flattens time, space and corneas; full-immersion surround sound.

What Needs Work:
Grip-free launches, unforgiving tires, not much low-end torque, fuel economy that would shame a B-52

Bottom Line:
Grip-free launches, unforgiving tires, not much low-end torque, fuel economy that would shame a B-52.

They have, I see infomercials claiming such all the time. I tried to order one such product and it was offered to the first 500 callers really cheap, just my luck, I was caller 501.

Yeah, it's called direct drive.

You get rid of your clutch, transmission, and any differentials.

And you have to have a transverse mounted motor... that only powers one wheel.
