So a BL base is around 53K. If they modified a BL base, they would get to keep the stock tires and resell somewhere else. So are all of those upgrades for 30K?

Pretty close. It's 47.7K and 50, for 2 and 4 door, with 2.7 and 10 speed. or am I missing something?

Am I the only one tired of these style bumpers? The whole geometric look, especially on a vehicle that actually has curvature to it. The whole thing was kinda cool to me about 15-20 years ago, but there are only just so many ways to draw a triangle.

 

[Bronc-itis]

I could do better with a 3rd of that budget

How the fuck are they gonna get their hands on 200 2021 Broncos is another question I have.

Easy, thems the VIP builds!

 

[Ranger6G]

Cheap

Seems to be a lot of people who don't understand how 1of200 works and why it costs what it costs.

I don't care if you're a broke dick and can buy a base to make it "as fast". That's not the point of anything Hennessy, never has been. A base will always be a base, whereas a Hennessy will always be worth considerably more.

Although I hear what you're saying here Brew, I don't buy a car based on what it'll sell for, I buy a vehicle to enjoy it myself.

The guy who gets one of these rides after me will get one worn out hooker of a car that's been rode hard and put away dripping wet and maybe even smelly, so pay out of the nose if you want, but jokes on that guy.

I maintain my vehicles, but I do enjoy some serious unlawful carnal knowledge of my rides. Hennessy vehicles are big for a certain type of consumer. His junk has never appealed to me, but even though I do buy nice looking rides, they ain't show ponies and will see everything from track days, to in the case of the Bronco, trail days where it'll take a beating and be expected to do so with a smile.

This Hennessey trash build doesn't even address what needs to be modded for an off roader, the suspension. Bumpers are nice and all, but there's a light bar where the winch would go.....

0-60 for an off roader just sounds dumb and likely from a guy who hasn't owned a real sports car. This heavy pig of a vehicle, sitting high, large tires, small brakes, soft suspension with too much travel (from a sport point of view) is nonsense and the exact opposite of sporty, you know, since it's a damn pig; as a proper off roader should be.

I really hope Hennessy reads this thread for what it is. We're mostly all saying, if you're going to give us a mod, drop in a Coyote, give me a full KING suspension upgrade, some 37s on 17" wheels, and a bumper with a Warn, AND add a good light array and a throaty exhaust, then you can charge me $80K or more for a real rig.

I don’t believe the 0-60. All they added was and Intake tune and exhaust probably added weight too with the bumpers and steps they put on. Something doesn’t add up here.

And you shouldn't believe it. Hennessy has a history of just throwing out random 0-60 figures before they even have a production model of their builds.

Why 4.9? Because it sounds faster then 5+ second figure they pulled outta their arse.

So they add 50k worth of stuff to a Bronco I bet you can take a base Bronco and do the same for less then 50k.

there well be a lot of places and shops who well do the same thing as Hennessy do and lot well build a better Bronco but if you want to buy there base Bronco with 50k of stuff on it then go for it its your money .

 

[Silver-Bolt]

Here is my summary of this package.
Intake $250
Exhaust $1500
Wheels & Tires $3200
Tune $1000
Bumpers $3000
Retractable running boards $1600

Grand Total $10,450

These are full blown retail prices. No doubt the Bronco aftermarket will have better options for far less money. Two big holes that they are not addressing are the brakes and suspension.

For my personal build I would skip the intake and exhaust. They add zero performance. Skip the retractable running boards. Use the money from those to apply to a suspension upgrade and real rock sliders. I also wouldn't go to 18's on the wheels. I would go to a 17" forged light weight wheel and run the factory tires until they wear out.

Hennessey can suck it.

Have you seen how the Ecoboost motors react to various mods on the dyno? Very small gain from down pipes. Zero gain from a catback. Zero gain from intakes. This is of course with stock turbos. The best money spent for more power is a good tune. Now if you go internal and modify the heads, change the cams, etc, then you may see some improvement with intake and exhaust mods.
