From what I have heard it's true. From what I know about Hennessey, I have no doubt. Hopefully he can get his money back and put him behind bars!
True?

I disagree Craig. I think this is an ideal forum for people to sort the good from the bad. I love the internet, what a great source of info to help people make an informed decision.

Perhaps I was a little hasty in my reply. I understand what it's like to get screwed (I have been personally) it's just that a corvette guy using our forum to repeat what has been argued and beaten to death over and over caught me and i responded. Honestly, it's all hearsay and I'm totally for justice being served but really what proof is there. I say to this guy to call his lawyer and have him deal with it, hardly going to get anywhere in resolving his problem by defaming John on the VCA BBS. I'm not defending anyone, just giving my probably unwanted opinion.
Clearly it was Mello's intentions to stir it up around here becasue he posted it in the RT/10, GTS discussions, and not here where it should be. no explaination, just a link.

Craig,
I just edited my response because I thought you were refering to me and since I started writing I saw your later responses. But, this is the place for people to see what is going on. At least it's a start. From here if I were interested I would try to talk to some of his X employees to hear some of what really is going on there.

No I was not referring to you. I was just stating that alot of people are comming on here with accusations (of which I have no idea are true or not) and are just posting away at thier hearts content until those threads are locked and deleted so many won't come up if you do a search. But I have specifically seen that specific user at corvetteforums from HI post that sort of stuff and then it gets dragged ove here. Like I said I'm not siding or defending with anyone, but there are two sides to a story, which should be left for lawyers/courts to decide. Being screwed can be frustrating, and if this charges are indeed convicted of said individual I'm sure everyone would like to hear about it. But as far as posts like this (as informative to protect potential customers as it is) have clearly been declared innapropriate. ( I know sounds corney) I dunno what the solution is to this, but probably by email to people inquiring to a thread titled "problem with XXXXXXXX" email for more info or something like that. Because this thread will probably not last that much longer and will get deleted regardless.

I disagree, this forum is where people speak their minds. Sure, not everything posted here is 100% true all the time. There are usually 3 sides to every story, person A's, person B's and the truth. I KNOW what happened with me, but with so many other people having similar stories to tell, doesn't that make you start to wonder? Why do you think people would just be out to try to put down Hennessey? They don't seem to be doing it to other tuners. It's not because he doesn't come off as a nice guy, because he does which makes him more believable. I caught myslef drooling as he posts about his 1000hp monster and then I kick myself in the as* to wake myself up. Don't forget his advertisment (thread) is like 150 posts deep. The real horror aftermath stories should be given equal time.

I agree with Marc....Most people know HMS from Motortrend...You arent gonna see his shaddy side in an automotive mag...The internet is perfect for this kind of stuff....There are just too many people complaining about HMS for it to be a misunderstanding....I cant misunderstand 100k.....How can you sell someone elses hood and tires....Im glad HMS aint in New York...There is only one way people like that get dealt with down here......I really hope this isnt true....It would be sad if he threw away his once respected name because of greed....

Agree.. *** is all this going on? Ya readin this?
This IS the place for this. Where else can you ask "anyone got any experiences with X?" and get a reply? Sure, you may get BS, but you look for both sides. Speaking of which... ??
I have long valued the internet for a source of both info and recommendations for anything I wanna buy/tune. Keep it coming, keep it balanced.

Marc,
I agree with you....as far as Craig goes..go buy a Viper and then give your opinion. Craig seems to think that he is a judge or something. All he is...is a little 19 yr with a big mouth who hides behind his keyboard. Hope to see you at VOI in Sept!

You said it yourself craiggy boy! Say what you want back to me craig..I expect it out of you. You're so predictable!

How does my responding to you cutting me up make me predictable?
To me it seems to be the normall thing to do, I mean somehow you feel compelled to attempt to insult me followed by what I can only interpret as some sort of threat by seeing me at VOI. Hey if I'm there I'm there, you're not gonna spoil that for me, though I will most likely be in school so I'm sorry you'll have to miss out on whatever it is you have planned for me. You seem very compelled to insult me whenever you get the chance, insecure, maybe, I'm just not sure. Hide behind my keyboard? Where am I supposed to be? I don't get what your implying by that. Sure I'm 19 and don't own a Viper, I clearly point that out in my signature, where as you list a car you don't own anymore. I could very easily pose as an owner and no one would be the wiser I mean I have a VCA number, access to 2 vin#'s and 2 SRT-10 certificates.
I mean this isn't a cry for help or anything but why don't you just back off or something, sure we had a disagreement awhile ago, many people on this board do, just let it go. I mean if what I said really impact you that much I take it back. I'm here for one purpose really, the Viper not to argue about something we both have a passion for, save it for the vette or porsche owners or something, they're the people you should be worried about I guess. If you want for me to say you won, then fine you won, I'm embarassed and I'm not being sarcastic. I come on here to talk vipers and have some fun in the off topic area where I normally hang out. Though just bacuse I don't own a Viper, doesn't make my opinion any less valid.

Did he promise you a new set of autographed 14" wheel covers for saying that? Odds are you won't get them.

I believe I have an understanding of Mellow's intention and hope everyone understands...
He posted the link and only a link in hopes that anyone that was interested, goto the link, read the info and make a decision for themselves on the content and hopefully be brought back here for a long overdue discussion. I believe he did it here without so many words so that it would be allowed to remain on the board and let it take it's natural course.
For Mellow to have made any comment when introducing the link would have obviously derailed the original intent because people would have yelled "TROLL" or make whatever negative comments only because he is a Vette owner posting here instead of reading what the real problem is.
Try to understand, many of us love cars in general. It doesn't matter what type really... Vipers, Vettes, Porsches, Bimmer, and yes, even some of the imports. Any many of us on the other board are just as enraged that this kind of robbery can go on no matter what type of car and, from the outside looking in, frustrated ourselves on how you guys can't discuss one of your own without fear of it being pulled.
Honestly, if Mellow hadn't posted the link, would a member have posted about it anytime soon?
Yes, you do what you can to **** out the trolls and trash, and in doing so you think you are doing a good for this board because you don't want to see this board to turn into one of "those" boards. But there has to be some latitude where a serious issue must be allowed to be discussed openly... To hear the good AND the bad. Because the REAL truth is always somewhere in between and you need both the good and the bad because the truth will usually get sorted out and come to light.
But to only allow the 'good' has obviously not worked because a fellow owner has fallen victim so you do not really have the whole truth.
To criticize someone's post because they do not own a Viper is really not fair (edited
) Unless you guys want to make this a private board, which I hope you do not, I hope that visitors are welcomed because I have been a fan of Vipers and this board for a long time.

Everyone can't be making up similar stories on different web sites, its got to be happening and if you want to help some sucker out from getting fleeced whether he is a sucker or not you should. By posting the negative as well as the positive you give interested partys both sides of the coin.By the way how many of you guys are ready to have HMS do some mods for you?
Inquiring minds like mine would like to know.Man a $142,000 plus the money for the stock parts and now you have no car, man would that ****.I feel bad for that guy but what a chump.I know of guys getting buried for a lot less than that.

I don't think you have to do that, I am sure some guys can't afford to take a hit 1/4 that size and there going to go postal and do it themselves.
