    Raising this from the dead...

    It's Friskie's fault... He knows why.

    It must have a super stiff suspension. Notice how low the top of the rear fender is to where the top of the tire must be? :shocked:

    Being Hennessey, 10:1 odds you won't get a car delivered on time, in budget (if at all). Further, the performance claims for this car are a TALL tale.

    Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but that rear wing looks almost as big as the car. ;)

    Looks like he's on an Autocross course and the huge wing and high angle of attack is for low speed downforce...
