Next time you're down Houston way make an appointment, stop by and I'm sure they'd oblige you. Very nice folks.
I love the smell of aviation fuel in the morning!!!

its shocking that the Hennessy is winning in the video made and presented by hennessy!!! thats fn comical and ridiculous. my god cmon people

My very first thought. Not to mention I’m from Houston and Hennessy’s reputation in the city is horrendous. A lot of guys won’t let them even touch their hot wheel toys lol.

Put the Hennessy on 37s, Braptor takes it.

What a cornball advertisement! Even if it were impossible to tune a 3.0, I'd still take the Raptor every time, if you had a chance to drive one, you'd know.

I’d like a piece of this action. Be great to see a 2dr badlands drag both these wagons, then out crawl them after that.

Hell, I’d even throw 37’s on just to make the butt hurt worse.

I really really like the raptor and it’s suspension, and all the other engineered goodness that makes it special. Facts are though, if I tried taking a raptor on half the trails I do it would, it would either fall off the side of a mountain or get stuck between two trees. The sasquatch package alone is so wide it barely fits some trails. Again huge fan of the raptor and would like one but man, its usability is so limited unless you primarily wheel in the desert.

I’ll be taking my 2 door up to these guys early next year. I already put the CAI in. They quoted me $1300 for this tune.

I thought about it as well, but I’ll wait until the guys at 5 Star have their tune available early next year.

They should have put 37" on the Henessey and run them. It would be a whole lot closer. Takes a lot to get the 37's rolling.

Nice add for Henessey. No way would they want the Raptor to be close in acceleration, even if they were.

what kind of special idiot is hennessy marketing toward?

Very interesting... wonder what they can do with other bolt on upgrades (exhaust, intercooler)? That's where I'm at. Just waiting till the hack is done and a place that's closer. My goal 500hp, seems achievable if they got 350hp with just a K&N.

I'm looking at slapping on the Mishimoto intercooler and the AWE exhaust before I head up..

Nice!!! I will have my Mishimoto Intercooler installed by the end of year. Need to pull my Havoc bumper for another mod, unrelated.

Look forward to your post after the tune...

There's a dark history there.

Any 2.3 options

We have to take this race with a green of salt because of who made the video.
assuming it was a fair race and the bronco raptor driver didn't go soft on the launches on purpose, I think we can attribute the extra speed to the lighter tires of the Hennessy bronco vs the 37 ko2.

On the onther hand it does get me more excited about my 2 door Bronco build with adv +5 flares, ADS coilers and a tune+intercooler. After seeing how close the race was, It should be a real raptor contender...

would be interesting to see your 2 door build go against a raptor in a stretch of whoops.
