Default Hennessey C7 rendering - I actually like the front end treatment

The border and mesh grill look sharp. I think I prefer it to the actual C7 design.

Oh. My. Gawwwwwd.

I was on the fence about a C6Zr1 vs C7, now I'm sold.

if the front splitter, ground effects, and a mesh grill are the only visual difference between the C7 and the future Z model, I'd simply buy a Z51 and add my own HP aftermarket.

I am hoping for more exterior changes in addition to the performance upgrades.

nice...the first of many to come...the aftermarket is going to go nuts with mods for the C7...essentially, that's the front end the C6 should have had, instead of that 3rd grader's drawing of a turtle's mouth...lol

is John still involved with the company, in any fashion? I've heard things have changed; but not to what extent.

Will this even be legal? Thought the Fangs had to be exposed?

Those are for European pedestrian safety laws. This is America.

So the aftermarket is going to make a killing on the front end as well.

Is Hennessey gonna have better customer service than the Viper fiasco? I'm willing to give people a 2nd chance, provided they own up to their mistake. Many in the Viper community are still shying away from this outfit. Are the principals who were responsible for that mess still running the show?

That splitter/fang combo is very similar to what we saw from Jalopnik...what might be the ZR1.

As usual with black wheels, you can't see them.
Looks like they dropped that thing about 3-5" in this shot! I doubt that would work without rubbing on the fenders.
