I was surprised that the Hennesy ZL1 didn't do better in the 1/4, but I always thought they overstated their engine output. It's also crazy what they charge for the engine/graphic package. Check out their price for the drag package (what was it for the Demon, a $1?).
We can thank NAFTA for the loss of so many manufacturing jobs.

As far as the Hennesy vs the Demon... I think if the Hennesy had better tires the outcome would have been different. But, most of what these guys do is staged.

It is entertainment, not factual reporting. So, I tend to enjoy it for what it is...
