Whereas everyone else pulls in the 13.1 range, Hennessy can only pull a 13.6?
...couldn't be because that crook wants to make it seem like simply putting a Hennessy badge on the car drops the time by half a second |

Probably doing like some other popular brands and doing an average time so they can boast better sales when they drop seconds off the 1/4 with their products. I think they did it on purpose so people would see 13.6 to 12.5 compared to 13.1 to 12.5 (example for reference).

That was a weak run, you can tell he's not running the RPMs up enough, laying into the throttle slowly, and shifting like my grandma. That car should be damn near 13 flat stock. I know all the LS1 cars from back in 1999 when I bought mine were in the 13.1-13.3-ish range bone-stock.

I would expect much more from that car... Put a different driver in that thing!

You guys honestly think the best the car can do is a 13.6? Lol...the 60' if I remember right (YouTube is blocked at work) was something to the tune of 2.3X or so. Fantastic driver there...
Stop trying to make yourselves feel better, it'll run mid to high 12's with decent tires and a competent driver.
