I would think that if there were to be a badge at all on the car, it would have been a Hennessy badge of some kind. DId the Vipers that were modified by Hennessy have one of there badages on the cars.

If you think about then - - all the $$ effort poured into that yellow Crossfire and they couldn't even get it to run - that can't bode well for forum members currently attempting to turbo their N/A..

We worked with that shop back in 05 and they test fit a lot of stuff on our car. Acosta motorsports is the name, but they are in FL now. The car was supposed to be tuned by one of the tuners we use, Felix, but there were a ton of issues and they never got it to run. The car is currently with the owner in Brazil.

Were they attempting to use a piggyback ECU? If so, do you know which one?

Felix has access to DAMOS files for a lot of the european cars, he works for Ferrari. They were attempting to build the file from scratch, but ran out of time.

You sound like Obama

Edit: Hennessey making a one off XF is a possibility, but I believe you were duped.

That is a VERY mean thing to say.


...and yes Hennessey COULD have made a one-off, but seeing as their market is more for production runs for the Viper, LX, and Chevrolet crowd I would highly doubt it. Seeing as they are in Houston and my buddy goes to visit fairly often (thanks to him being an auto writer) I feel like he would have told me.

I concur, dupage occured.
