This is what American innovation can do. Need I say I WANT ONE.


Here is something for you to drool over. The speedometer they show in the film does not register anything below 40mph. I guess that should give us a clue. At 1,244 hp it is more powerful than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
Here’s A Fun Couple of Minutes for You. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride!!!

When you drive a Chevrolet Corvette powered Hennessey Venom GT you don’t shift into fourth gear until 160 MPH! The top speed is incredible!

Having survived a high speed wreck, I'll pass. Why push my luck? I'll leave the need for speed to those young fools who believe they're invincible.

I was never a corvette fan, until 2004 as a Chevy dealer gm. Chevy began getting serious about producing a genuine world class sports car. Unfortunately the top end models were low production and many dealers were lucky to get even one per model year.

I had a 63 split window but my first wife got it in the divorce, still miss it a lot but I have pictures somewhere and still remember what it cost me, a fortune for maintenance and insurance. Somehow I don't miss it that much when thinking of the costs. I looked at a 2006 a while back and figured my insurance may not be so high now that I am a senior, wrong answer is what I told my insurance thief, I'll stick with the memories instead..

If I was going that fast without being in a plane I would already have wings and would still be waiting for my butt to catch up. Kind of a day late and a butt short you could say.

Yeah that's a true work of art when it comes to an automobile. I'd like one in my garage, right next to my helicopter, which I'll get right after I hit lotto.
