Kenne Bell is certainly an option though one most closely associated with Mustangs. Magnusson also makes larger superchargers too though and there's always the centrifugal type too. Hands down a turbo system is the most efficient though it does have a different 'personality' than driving a supercharger based system. |

Also, I really love the paint scheme that you went with. I have a CGM and I was wondering how black paint would look on it. And your car answered that question for me. I think down the line I'll do a black and carbon fiber design. |

S&T auto body on the west side of Houston did the paint and does a lot of paint work for Hennessey in general. Carbon fiber stuff for the Camaro is still realistically in its infancy so plan on doing test fits and be prepared to wait for replacement parts if something isn't exactly right. |

I must ask. How in the hell do you have that kind of money? Annd you're working on a Porsche!! As we both know, the USMC isn't a wealth building organization.

That is the coolest Camaro I've Ever seen! I have a CGM Camaro and have been wanting to do something carbon fiber to the exterior and this is by far the best. Will Hennessey be selling these carbon fiber parts?

Long story, but I've done a lot since I got out of the Corps. I credit a LOT of the success I've had so far in life on the values and traits I either picked up or honed while in the Marines. I'm sure you know LOTS of former Marines have gone on to be CEO's of fortune 500 companies. I'm not a CEO and I'm not a millionaire but I've had some nice jobs here and there. I saved up some money and splurged on 2 serious car projects and that'll pretty much be it! Heh! 2 swings for the fence and 2 homeruns so I can't complain. Paid my own way through Purdue University, lots of technical training and project management experience, both followership and leadership training/experience in the military... some good choices and some luck along the way! No kids, no debt and a good income coupled with a passion for cool cars and a girlfriend/other half thats doing well for herself and likes cars too so she encourages me... I'm fortunate and appreciative of the fact that I am.

WIthin reason they'll work with you on customizing any car they do. We sourced these from another vendor and then used the shop Hennessey sends all their paint work to. (S&T auto body on the west side of Houston)

It was great meeting the H-Town crew there and I look forward to bringing the car and the other half out to more of your events. Thanks for babysitting the car at the show! |

Awesome. I'm glad to hear a fellow Marine is doing so well for himself... not that it's a rare occurrence. I managed to find those EGA's down here on the Depot today. I'll definitely be adding them to my car in the near future. Thanks for the idea.
