Someone please tell me why pH keep pushing this thing. It's a messed about Elise/Exige with a big lump stuffed in it, and it isn't that fast!
I agree, there are a lot of people on here that say they love it. And checking profiles, most are Saxo, Ka & Fiesta owners (No offence intended, we all start somewhere), but I haven't seen a single 430 Scuderia, Gallardo superleggera, Carrera GT or Ascari owner comment on here about how great it is. Why not? These are the cars it will be competing against, and will cost way more than I might add.

And if so much good R&D has gone into this are you telling me the best video they have available from all that testing to shut up the "Keyboard Warriors" is a few dodgey shots around the A43, don't make me laugh.
They (Hennesy) dont give a fk about the "keybaord warriors" on PH and how many people who own the above cars regulary post on here anyway. I think you will find that the majority of PH users are not filthy rich and like to dream and there is nothing wrong with that.

I own a Saab by the way ;-)

Well if most people didn't stop at General Gassing to talk about how many eyes Gordon Brown has and actually looked around the CAR forum, you see that the only car sections on here with more posts than Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini & Bugatti are Lotus, TVR & Porsche.
And having hung around most of those sections I can tell you that 99% of the posts are from owners and enthusiasts, so I think you'll find that high end and pure sports car owners post on here way more than anyone else about cars, and that was my point regarding the Venom GT, none of these people are jumping up and screaming it's praises out.

We can all dream, I do it myself...a lot, and a car with a price tag like the Venom GT is way beyond me, but it isn't way beyond a lot of people on here, more than you would think. And just because a car costs £300k doesn't automatically make it good.

Steve for me it is the anticipation of whether this car is good or not. That is why I dont write something off over its price. I am just interested in seeing how good a car is. Glass half full and all that.
