CA,

I like the way you registered to the site just to stick a fork in 'em. I don't think they're done yet. Do you?

It's amazing what some a-hole have the guts to do these days!!!

One guy put it best by basically saying, I am surprised Hennessey isn't lying in a ditch with a bullet in the head right about now. Think about it, you are stealing tons of money from a people who can afford to buy $80,000 cars, and then spend close to $200g's to make it fast right way!

You got it! We're not even allowed to say the bad "poo-poo" word.

Wow,, i'm amazed,, i dont think anyone would ever do this to a truck owner though,, we're all crazy rednecks j/k

i'm amazed at how the guy in the letter even though i'm very sad to hear anyone get screwed over, but jeaz,,, he lost 140 K and to him it seems like he'd be ok if he lost it all. Thats a crazy amount of cash to be throwing around.

Odin,

I was interested because I was genuinely impressed with the guys ability at one point. I hadn't realized he was such a jerk. It's funny how you put somebody so high profile on a pedestal with the expectation that they will be a good person just because they are well known...He's the exception to that I guess. I'll stick with Sal and Johnny and the boys anyday

Sorry, I'm not going to be there. I had it in my mind to just show up if I could; but, I've had a fuel leak or something that I'm trying to sort through and don't want to push her too hard before I know I have it straightened out. I hated having to back out like I did last time; so, I didn't want to make even a loose commitment to be there until I knew for sure I could make it. I hope you guys have lots of fun and that you can leave the track under your own power, too. LOL

Roger

Did you change your plugs yet? Not to sound like a bad news guy but a fuel injector could have goten cracked when being moved some. Just a thought for you to look at!! I dont know how far you are but Jeff could probably bring the Ford scanner again and maybe give you some info!!

CA,

I wasn't giving you a hard time or anything. That was just my weak attempt at humor. You're right though. I've met a few people that I expected to be shining examples of what human beings should be, based on their accomplishments, only to find out that just because you are a talented person, it doesn't mean you're a good person.

ICULOKN,

Yeah, I changed them. The fuel rails and fuel injectors are on my list of possibilities. I'm going to the dealer Friday to have them look at it. I have a dyno appointment on Friday to check my air/fuel ratios and compare chip performances, also. I just added a breather and 160* stat, too. I should have it taken care of by the end of the weekend in any event.

Odie,
I know This is a good example of that. I've also met people who are excellent at a specific thing but don't have the common sense God gave a fence post...

Thanks CA:

for the info about this JH 'guy'. You guys should read the different links--this is an amazing story. Btw, maybe Motor Trend bares some responsibility?

That thought had crossed my mind too. But they can't be held accountable for the guy turning out to be this way...ya know
