Truly the first ever Supercar.

It could do 260 km/h (160 mph) in 1954. That was insane.

I would nominate pic related, the latest ACR and the C4 ZR1 for America.

Honorable mentions to the Oldsmobile Aerotech Buick 3.5 V8, Ford Windsor, Chevy LS1, probably some other things i (should) be giving a mention to but i don't know much about american engines or cars in the 50s 60s i'm sure some anon with oldfag knowledge can oblige.

Look into John Hennessey's history of fucking up customers, parting out customer cars, steeling parts from customer cars to finish personal projects, etc and you'll wish he was dead too. If you go on some of the Viper forums, "Hennessey" is blanked out as a "*********" as if it was a swear. He's fucked over entire communities of people. The only reason he isn't in jail is because he drags all the lawsuits against him so they take forever. The customer will usually give up and cut their losses before it gets to trial.

How much you wanna bet the LS9 in that Venom came from a customer's Corvette?

Don't think so. am a big fan of Mosler and his work though. If he had the budget of a major manufacturer or even those european exotic manufacturers like Ferrari he'd be making some otherworldly stuff.

>>16608220
Guy who started tuning cars back in the 90s. he was similar to guys like John Lingenfelter and Reeves Callaway who would make very powerful Corvettes or other cars.

There were people who ordered projects from Hennessy and either never got them or their cars had parts jacked off of them to complete other projects. There were some forums he posted in where he was acting douchy too.

Yeah, it's not the best car ever but I just find it kinda cool that some guys actually made a mexican sports car.

Neat. I was fortunate to work for him for a short while in a non-car related capacity, and am still in regular contact with him. Absolutely brilliant guy.

Also had some neat interactions with John Fitch and some of the other circle that had input on his early cars. There were indeed some unique things that would had innovated around what other racing-bred exotics would had developed. At the end of the day, only performance mattered.

This is the trekka. It was built In new Zealand using a Skoda Octavia drivetrain from (then communist) Czechoslovakia from 1968-1973. It remains the only mass produced vehicle to be designed and built in new Zealand.

Some douchebags from Quebec spit out a knockoff Lambo every other year, and only make between 6 and 12 of the fuckers.

It's actually strange that car manufacturing never became a thing up here.

It's not that manufacturing facilities don't exist, I'm pretty sure most North American Mazdas are built in Canada, it's just strange that nobody has had the balls to try and build and sell a car in Canada which Canadians can actually afford.
