He started off ripping parts off of Viper customers. Somehow he managed to get a deal with Chevy to sell his cars through their dealerships, with a "warranty' would be interested to see how Hennessy deals with warranty claims. Since he couldn't explain to several Viper owners where their parts went. He is a Crook.

I don’t recall any builder other than SLP having an agreement with GM to sell cars Nationally though their dealerships. Dealers as individual entities/businesses can however make such arrangements. Warranties on such specialty/modified cars are between the builder and consumer.

I just bought their 850 package and am pleased with every aspects of it. Could not have gone smoother. They did 550 customer auto projects last year. I've never heard anything bad about them.

GMMG back when the 4th gens were produced he offered PH1-Ph3 packages sold through Tom Henry Chevrolet, Dale Earnhart Chevrolet, Berger Chevrolet, and Carl Black.

Turn key modified vehicles with the GM warranty.

It's great that it went well for you and your congrats on a sweet ride! Personally, I would never do business with a company that has as many complaints as HPE. If you search "john hennessey complaints", the internet is FILLED with articles about complaints and lawsuits where he screwed over customers.

They do not have the price listed for that package on their website. Just curious on what that upgrade would cost? Glad you are happy but I like many other have heard nightmare stories about the way he does people and even his own employees:(

Yenko, Baldwin Motion and Nickey all had GM agreements in the 60s and 70s to sell their performance upgraded Chevys through their dealerships.

The context is in regards to 6th Gens. GMMG has been out of business for a long time.

Their 850 is buried somewhere in my current build. They do good and timely work, and when you subtract the round-trip shipping and 2-yr warranty, they're about same as KaTech, LPE, and others.

I don't know what package or build you're referring to.
