I have to say I'm not as impressed with either company. Maybe I am wrong but it seems like these guys are both tools from the articles i have read. They can both get 1000 hp but you can't do anything with it, and if you did you could do maybe one or 2 runs in it then it goes boom! Hennessy generally tries to run slicks or some "trick" that "technically" is OK, and Lingenfelter never finishes the run. His car breaks on like the second run or the 3rd. Then they both throw a fit and say "you have to let me run again on a different day after I fix my car" or "see his run doesn't count"

Sorry for the rant...I just have a hard time with these guys. I would rather see a nice modified, reliable car with a reasonable hp number.
