On a different note, have you passed the 2nd grade? You don't have one real sentence in your entire post. If you want to make a legitimate argument try not looking like an idiot. Also about not liking the US, last time I checked Ford is American. You might have gotten Ford confused with Budweiser, which has indeed sold out. It's understandable that you might get them confused with your low level of intelligence. Just remember it this way, Budweiser starts with a B and so does beer.

By the way I'm not trying to put down the Hennessey or the Camaro. They look sick, have a lot of power, and I'll be getting a Camaro. I'm just pointing out the Shelby is still has more power.
that was a little harsh, there.

after reading this, i do see where Bails is coming from. your post barely makes any sense. you should probably start with using a little more punctuation than 29 question marks in a row & a few commas, but that's just my opinion.

If the shelby super snake still uses ford's weak 8.8" rear end, it won't be faster than the hennesy Camaro. What is the point of HP if you can't put it down to the ground?? Also the LS9 in the camaro is bullet proof, the 725hp version super snake explicity does not come with a warrenty at all who knows how long it will last.

Myth. The 8.8 rear under the GT500 is more than capable of handling the hp/tq put out by the SuperSnake. I've made quite a few 1/4 mile passes in the past year making more hp/tq than the SuperSnake, and also driving it every day. So far, 20K miles later, I've had zero issues with the 8.8 in the car.

Now, maybe if I were to switch to a full slick and launch the car at 4K+ at the strip, then I might need to step up, but I don't have plans to do that. Just to reiterate, the 8.8 rear in the GT500 is NOT the same 8.8 rear used in the Mustang GT.

As for a warranty, your speaking of a factory warranty. I doubt the Hennessey Camaro will carry a GM warranty any more than the SuperSnake carries a Ford warranty. The fact of the matter is, if you can afford the car, chances are you could give a rats ass about a warranty anyway. I voided the powertrain warranty on my car within a few days of owning it.

Well said .. unfortunately you are on a Camaro site and there are those that will bash a Ford when they have the chance ... I myself like both and to date the best car I have owned was my 2004 Mustang Cobra ....

I realize I was a little harsh and I do realize this is a Camaro forum where people will bash Ford and have every right to. I've bashed Ford on this site for the new Mustang, I just find it very hard to try and bash the SuperSnake. Like I said I didn't mean to take anything away from the Camaro or Hennessey, people like that just piss me off.

-Stock side skirts, but with ZR1 styled carbon fiber piece attached
-Hood with LS9 window idea that I used
-Uses the paint scheme from the GT500KR production concept
-Used the brake idea and ZR1 wheels like I did
-Looks like a cheap black powercoated billet grille design that every Tom, Dick, and Harry that prolly will have on ebay in eight months

Sometimes I wonder if the people that make that money that I wish I chance to earn, actually think up there own stuff.

With as much as someone was to pay for this car, Henny could at least bother to change the urethane parts out for custom piece like I thought up.
I made a one-off design and THEN used ZR1 bits to finish it off. They just used ZR1 bits to make it. This actually pisses me off in my book.

Not to sound arrogant, but I really think Hennessey stole my designs from my Z28 concept that spread across the internet a few month ago. I wish I could do something about it.

My design wouldnt be hard to find even if Hennessey didnt look on the forums. The blogs and its pops up on the first page of a Google search.

Then they prolly got a photoshop artist on staff to rendering the one they have.

to Compare:

Yea because weight doesn't matter at all right?

This thing is stupid, for $110k you might as well get a ZR1, it's better in every way.

this to the dude with the gt500 during preproduction road testing the guys from gm said they no longer brought any mustangs along. because it just does'nt compare.the mustang while it's cute in a girlsh kind of way just does'nt equal the camaro.it's just the way it is. i've nothing against mustang as i owned a 87 LX that was custom painted with after market wheels and tires. i liked it but while the mustang lived on the driveway,my camaro wastucked away in my garage nice and clean and dry
