    I'm far morepartial to the Hennesey you can drink. Much lower entry price, far better return on investment. Chick dig it, and most importantly:


    Liquor is Quicker!

    Maybe it's just me, but too much metal and not enough rubber in back. I guess he wanted to warm up the tires and/or clean them a little--or just a little burn out for the hell of it?

    I know it was a solo run but he was slow off the line.

    @ab3: I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter in this kind of thing - the 1/4 mile time is based on the light curtains on the line. I think his launch was pretty weak though.

    I think Hennessey's desire is to just beat that damn go kart.

    Ben got it right in the Cortina post.

    "It's in Seattle and sadly we are not."


    Andrew got it right on the first attempt and fell at the second hurdle in this one.

    "Everyone's favorite Viper tuner Hennessey has reached out, left it's shell..."


    I'll keep pointing it out until I stop seeing it in the posts.

    @joshman: I try to refrain from being the apostrophe police on the commenter side, but that's because the commenters aren't being paid to write.


    There was also "one of the most desirable Ferrari's of all time" from a few days ago.


    I guess we're here for free, and as commenter's we can overlook minor problem's and suck it up. Meanwhile, I'll pour myself a glass of Brawndo, the Thirst Mutilator.
