Hennessy Venom GT - looks a lot like an Exige

I dont know if its some sort of knock off the the Exige look or if its just a modded Exige or something, but my god, i had this car as my desktop background for months thinking its an Exige, but its not. its the hennessy venom gt. sure fooled me. 1200HP.

Overpowered? That can not be a real word.

After reading all that dirt on John Hennessy, I wouldn't doubt Group Lotus would be next in line to sue him.

If Hennessey decides to build a Lotus Exige that goes 0-60 in 2 seconds?

He'll probably do it.

Won't be safe... but what the hell.

On super cars exposed they had a race at a military airport and they had 2 Hennessey cars, a viper and ford gt, both 1000 hp. They would just spin in first 3 gears. The viper spun out going about 150...to much power and lost control.
