My personal feelings about Hennessey aside... I don't think I would ever buy a modified car "package" if you will. Companies like HPE, Lingenfelter, Saleen, and Roush offer a vehicle for the guy with that extra chunk of change, likes the stock car, but desires more. They make it simple by modifying it for you and even offer warranties in some cases... at a cost. And for those without the time or inclination to DIY, that's fine.

IMO there is something to be gained from actually working on your own car. The technical knowledge and experience, yes. But the feeling of accomplishment and pride as you transform it from something that you bought, to something that you made YOURS, is exhilarating.
