Ok so the Venom�s are not factory Viper�s�but who cares?! These Viper�s possess enough raw power to take out more than three quarters of the world's performance cars. And with the newest addition of the Venom 600 GTS the Viper has proven once again that it is a world class sports car. Obviously a V10 has the potential to create whopping amounts of horsepower and torque, but it takes a special man to make that awesome power controllable and almost civilized in the case of the 600 GTS. In this article I will focus mainly on the 600 GTS instead of some of the earlier Hennessey�s. Showing Hennessey Motor Sports handywork is the power that the 600 GTS makes: a heart stopping 602 horsepower and 630 pound-ft of torque! That�s a whopping 152 more horsepower, and 140 more lb-ft of torque and there is plenty more to be found where that came from. That power translates into a company claimed 0-60 mph time in 3.4 seconds, 11.5 seconds for a brief and thrilling quarter mile, a faster and shorter 0-100-0 mph time of 12.5 seconds, a neck snapping 1.03 g�s of lateral force, and a top speed of�hold your breath�203.5 mph. That�s a higher top speed than both the Ferrari F50 and Porsche GT1�legalized race cars that cost more than your average executive's retirement bank accounts�and the Hennessey Venom 600 GTS costing only the price of two Vipers, which is $150,000, I know where my money is going.Hennessey Motor Sports Online
