2011 Hennessey Venom GT

[DarthVader1]

Doesn't explain the super Veyron.

Care to link? The last Top Gear article talking about the SSC had good things to say. As did R&T if I remember. Never heard a magazine call them poor handling.

Not where?

Look at this website which has the cars in the right order but has the exact speeds a few

Top Gear actually are frequently making fun of the SSC. And I don't get your question about the super veyron as it was built to beat the ultimate aero which does 256 mph whereas the original veyron does 253mph. The supersport hit 259mph with captain slow at the wheel and 268mph or 267.9 mph when driven by a Bugatti test driver.

The only thing you're up to date on is your arrogance with that post. A lot of what you said may be correct, but the attitude can be dropped.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Even if the Venom is faster they still need to sell 50 of them to be eligible .

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

All the Hennessy venom and SSC ultimate aero are are lightweight cars with giant overpowered engines in them and that is why they have bad 0-60 times since they can't cope with the power so spin their wheels.

And that's why the Venom GT is the fastest-accelerating production car ever?

Get your facts straight. 👎

I doubt they will since I would be scared to drive a lotus exige with 1200bhp and I think it's rather expensive for what it is.

The venom does 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and the veyron supersport in 2.4 seconds. My facts are perfectly straight thank you and please stop making things up because you like the venom. There are many track day cars that are road legal which accelerate faster than the venom. I'm am getting rather annoyed at people coming up with such feeble things. I know my stuff ok so look up your facts before you go against me.

Wow, such a huge difference, the Venom GT is so slow! Fancy that, a RWD car getting beat off the line by an AWD car...

None of that changes the fact that the Venom GT is the fastest-accelerating production car ever. There is no debate that it is quite capable of putting it's huge amount of power down.

Nice edit brah. For the record, I much prefer the Veyron. Modified track day cars aren't production cars - if they were we could include almost any car here.

I'm not going against you, just correcting you where you went wrong.

BUT IT ISN'T since it accelerates in 2.9 where the veyron does it in 2.4 seconds. Read before you reply please. The venom can't put its power down which is why it has heavy traction control for gears one and two.
I am getting very bored and a lot of you are actually going against the AUP by knowingly stating incorrect facts. If you really do think you are right then I don't know what you have been reading.

Ok, so firstly -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hennessey_Venom_GT

Much faster than the Veyron SS in every stage of acceleration except off the line (as I already stated, the SS is AWD so should be quicker from a standing start).

Secondly, what kind of car with over 1,000bhp doesn't use traction control? Last I checked traction control is a completely legitimate way of helping a car hook up.

You can't trust Wikipedia.

What am I looking for? I aware of what's faster than what.

What don't they make fun of?*

First, super Veyron is not the Supersport. It's the 1600 hp Veyron that has been talked about since forever.

Secondly the point is these companies are building cars because they sell cars.

I doubt they will since I would be scared to drive a lotus exige with 1200bhp and I think it's rather expensive for what it is.

Good thing it's not a Lotus. And if it's expensive, then I shudder to think about the poor Veyron owners who paid twice as much for a little more of something and a little less of some other things.

The venom does 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and the veyron supersport in 2.4 seconds. My facts are perfectly straight thank you and please stop making things up because you like the venom.

Acceleration doesn't stop at sixty. It doesn't start a 0 either for that matter. It's pretty clear that the Venom GT destroys the Veyron when AWD isn't a factor.

There are many track day cars that are road legal which accelerate faster than the venom. I'm am getting rather annoyed at people coming up with such feeble things. I know my stuff ok so look up your facts before you go against me.

I'm still waiting for facts showing poor handling SSC's and Venom GT's.

The venom can't put its power down which...

is why it's faster than the Veyron down a 2 mile stretch. That doesn't add up. It also doesn't add up that the Venom can't put down power, yet smash the 0-60 times of the majority of cars ever made. And do that with a manual transmission.

Did you watch that video in posted? That was from 2 days ago. Pretty up to date to be wrong.

I never said anything about 2 mile records mate and I'm not talking about the super veyron as that's never existed or been announced.
I know my stuff and I hope you do too as when you go against me on cars there is only one winner and that is me.

 

[Exorcet]

That's OK, it doesn't change the fact that the Venom out accelerated the Veyron over those 2 miles.

and I'm not talking about the super veyron as that's never existed or been announced.

You're not the only one talking.

I'm giving you a chance aren't I?

Nope.

Do carry on.

Nope.

Yes since I have pictures which I will show to Tomorow so...

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Pictures cannot prove that the Veyron SS out-accelerates the Venom GT.

The Wiki link I provided is an acceptable level of proof for the point that I was making.

Now you provide proof that I am wrong, since you seem to disagree with what I claimed.

 

[sems4arsenal]

I doubt they will since I would be scared to drive a lotus exige with 1200bhp and I think it's rather expensive for what it is.


\.

The Venom is not hard to drive at Normal speeds at all.

and what it is ,is one of the fastest production cars in the world

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Like the pictures of the Premium Toyota 7 from last month, surely.

Goodbye.

Eh... as far as value for money, I think the Venom costing less is more than outweighed by who builds it.

Fair enough, though if these don't self destruct after a couple of years/few thousand miles, I'd think that the product itself is of decent value.

The P1 is probably going to blow them all away though.

I'm only as sharp as the community members who keep an eye out for the problem-members 👍

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

They are also crudely designed and useless around tracks. The Veyron has gadgets and is comfortable and could still annihilate any road car.

Ah i must have missed your thread where you test drove a veyron ss,venom gt and a ssc back to back on a track to know that any chance of linking me up?

Also i know of a Ford Fiesta Road car and an Evo which says otherwise.

On a Track of course but not regarding Top Speed which is the point of the Venom/Veyron.

 

[Passibra]

The Bugatti Veyron SS had a respectable lap time round the TG track at 1:16.8 and was the fastest for a while though.

Mclaren beat that with the 12C

True but 1:16.8 is still a respectable time.

The problem with the Hennessy venom is the fact that it is cheaply made compared to the veyron and has to put 1200 hp on the rear wheels whereas the veyron has 4wd

Was responding to the post about the Mclaren P1's track capabilities regards to the Veyron and Venom.

Might want to check videos of car magazines driving the Venom,it really is a remarkable car.

I can't wait to see the P1 as it has lapped a sub seven minute time round the nurburgring. That is staggering for a road car. I like the Hennessy Venom but I am a big fan of the Bugatti Veyron and it is one of my future dreams to drive one.
