RE: Hennessey Venom claims new lap record at COTA
Discussion
PH posts a video with RaceLogic's data of a well-known track, taking the time to explain that you need to watch the G meter to understand just how hard they are taking the corners.
The responses here:
"Hennesey is a liar"
"It's ugly/derivative"
"It looks slow in the corners"
"No one cares."
"Is that the one with the Elise tub?" (hint: NO)
"The aero must be ineffective as it's slower than a GSX."
"No one uses that track, we have no idea if this is a good time."
Did we even watch the same video? What could possibly account for this flurry of bashing?
"As a rule, I don't like American cars." - oh, right.

There is an easy explanation: People don't like Hennessey. Wikipedia notes his ugliness in its 'controversy' section. And, likely, people hate the guy since he charges big money for things that have a hopped-up Chevy truck engine. Him being from Texas also makes up his stink. The responses here:
