Very nice VID .. can you tell us more about the wheel / Tire combo you have on the car. What are the offsets as well on those wheels?

thanks,
Crowley

I'm curious to know your response regarding Edmunds comments on the suspension setup and how it effects the ride/handling balance?

Sales@Hennessey · 06-08-2009, 04:55 PM

The vehicle had the Pedder's coilover suspension installed in CA. I believe more time with adjusting the setup would of helped. We will be doing so within the next 30 days for setups for our cars before they ship.

Thanks
James

At the risk of re-opening old wounds, can I just say that I'm glad you're the one posting on our site, JT, and not John Hennessey himself?

I personally got to drive the car off its return trip from Edmunds and it was a pleasure! The car was able to attend the Houston Area Coffee N Cars event on Saturday as well where it was joined by 4 other Camaros!

the suspension system was installed only a few days before the test. we knew that we did not have time to get it dialed in. we just got the car back and we will spend some time at the track testing to get the set-up dialed in for peak performance.

the car looks good and performrs superb. i only have a problem with ur hpe550 package. 19k for a blower, yenko replica strips, bbs rsgt replica rims, coilovers, and exhaust is a little much even with install/tune. that package should be no more than 8k and 10k with install. u guys still did a good job on the overall finish on the car tho
