    Pretty much. I like how the video makes sure to show the douche holding his arm out the window and posing around like he's just landed on the fucking moon.

          Nor will you have a "drives like stock" new car that can be taken on a long road trip, or comfortably driven in extreme weather. 200mph isn't a big deal in the performance world, but pretty cool for a relatively stock production car to do it, on a public road no less.

          The fact that Hennessey is a crook does certainly take away from it though.

            A stock C6 Z06 will do 200 if given enough road, so a C7 with nitrous and a crook driving isn't really that impressive to me. Doing 200 MPH on a public highway isn't really my thing anyway, I'll leave that to the dyno queens!

                  Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                  You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                      I don't understand the point of testing the cameras for that speed. How many cars are really going to pass through the toll at 200? Hell how many will even go through one at 150?

                              How many people has this shopped ripped off? If they really are as bad as their online reputation is, how are they still in business, and how do they keep getting publicity from car mags, and tv shows?
