Funny thing is there are lots of dumb people that will spend that money on a truck that is worth 20-30K less than it is selling for because of status!

From what I read years ago it wasn't just unapproved mods but he was pushing tunes past the limits of the motors then bailing on the customers leaving them with a busted car AND a bill. Nothing like spending $75K+ on a Viper, a bill $30K+ for a turbo system and end up with a rolling chassis and a box full of broken engine parts mixed with some turbo tubing.
As far as the Velocaraptor a couple of things.
1. IIRC there was an artist rendition of a SUV version but it never materialized for sale to the public
2. For what Hennescrew is charging you can get a Roush blower with a warranty worth more than toilet paper AND $30K in your pocket to do the other upgrades you want.
I always thought instead of a tremor, get a RCSB with the 5.0 and a blower. You would have enough $$$ leftover to other mods like a four link rear if you didn't want the leafs. Could also swap out the rear gears, get leather seats elsewhere (either take outs from an upper model or new seat covers), ect.
Don't get me wrong I love my Ecoscrew but think the above is a better use of that kind of money than buying a Tremor but that's just me.

You guys regurgitating Hennessy issues need to update your negative statements. I'm not a customer , have no business relationship with the company , don't know any customers. But a review of the company shows only three complaints filed with the bbb in the last three years, all complaints were closed satisfactory. For any business that's an admirable position. If the company was abusing customers as bad as several posters have written that news would be all over the place. I'm not saying that has been posted did not happen, but recent history indicates that those incidents were a isolated issue

I too have read a lot of shaddy stories about Hennessey, and since that day I really don't care for any of their products...
and by the way, a BBB rating is worth about as much as me writing on a napkin "yes you can trust these guys".
on this one, that's a lot of dough for a not-so-great-looking execution...

If you own a small business you pay attention to Bbb reports only people who have a real or perceived beaf with a company contact the BBB.
They are there for conflict resolutions. You can also do a Lexus nexus search for legal issues.
But posting 10-25yr old news or even worse second third hand stories is not honest
