Default New C7 Hennessey

Getting ready to purchase a C7 . Was going to buy the Hellcat but just didnt like the looks of it.

Thinking about sending the c7 to Hennessey performance in houston Texas for one of their performance packs.

Anyone else had the Hennessey upgrades done. If so how does the car run. Thanks Brad

Try Lingenfelter Performance Engeering or Callaway, both do great work and many will tell you that they are satisfied.
Callaway Chris is on the forum a lot. Lot for some of his posts.

Hennessy is a known crook, he will sell parts off your car, then your car will sit until the next customer comes along. Basically it's a Ponzi scheme for car guys.

Its just hard to believe a company like Hennesey could be so terrible. Thanks guys for letting me know. Im glad I found the Corvette Forum. Looks like it will be LPE, if I decide to mod it. Thanks again!

Maybe you should consider polling the Callaway owners on this forum for their experiences/opinions prior to making any decision
