Default Hennessey Vipers?

Unashamedly stolen from another forum or two....

Quote:
ekool owns the 300c forum and a bunch of other forums. John Hennessey was a paid sponsor on a few of the forums. John got ****ed off because someone started a thread badmouthing Hennessey. He demanded that ekool remove the thread and not allow thread bashing him. ekool responded by telling him that the only thing he guarantees sponsors is that they won't have any unfair, unpaid competition on the forums but all posts pro or con about any manufacturer/tuner were fair game. He suggested that JH change his business practices if he wanted some positive posts made about him. So JH removed his sponsorship and started this thread.
http://www.300cforums.com/forums/general-discussion/21978-efool-gets-punked-his-own-board.html

Long thread, 35 pages....
Funniest bit is the Wikipedia entry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Do...External_links

I'm sure the guy built some great cars, but he sucks as a Businessman.

What sort of workshop takes $140,000 (USD!!!) and then doesn't work on the dudes car and sells parts off of it for quick cash?

I posted a thread about Hennessey being a crook many moons ago on the old forums. His cars rock, but he leaves a lot to be desired as an individual!

that was a good read. im very suprised. think of the money/time these blokes could have saved if they had visited a few related car forums and read about other peoples experiences.
