My point is there are varying circumstances. I'll reserve judgement till I get more chances to see.

Also, yes, we can't forget the factor that the less the numbers THIS car has, the better the final Hennessey numbers will look as far as gains.
Interesting. It seems odd to me that their first test was reminiscent of the slow time one of the magazine's had that everyone said was an unseasoned driver.

Oh, I agree with you. But the 'Fast List' has a claim of a bone stock 12.5 on it. No DRs. If it's true then it's a crazy factory freak car with a robot driver. LOL

Not trolling, just was really expecting faster in stock trim. I'm sure as people get more time with the car the times will get better.
If you have to say your not Trolling... then you are trolling...

It may be just ONE CAR, but if it was a 11.8 there sure wouldn't be anyone saying, "it's a freak, or it's just ONE CAR."

but, to be fair, I still see 12 flats from a manual in good weather/driver.


11.3 on street tires? Too much busch light buddy? I'm on my first, I'll let you know how the next ones go.

Look at the dyno curves.....something is up with the Hen car. Like said before....knock retard or something else going on at 4500 rpm. That'll kill your trap times for sure.

I'm in NO WAY claiming Hennessey is or would do that. I have ZERO reason to believe they would.

Just trying to reconcile the times in my head.

I don't really have any problem with the times as a standard I guess. I think a seasoned driver could do a bit better.

I honestly thought the stock numbers would be better than that.

My ZL1 pulled 26,756hp on the dyno and ran the 1/4 in -4sec.
That just happened.
