The guy in the second vid launched way harder and was powershifting. I bet if the Hennesey car had the same driver it would be quicker. Plus do you know if both these times were at the same elevation?
why hennessey is FTL
Hennessey ZR700

Hennessey is a SNAKE OIL salesman, plain and simple.

+1 they only weigh 3,300lbs too. And come with 638hp. So I guess hennessey needs to add the driver mod to their list of modifications to the ZR1. loleither way i would still expect more from "700" hp car.
There are MUCH better companies around that produce better products and don't cheat their costumers.
the 8th mile time on the first one was a low 12SEC 8th mile time that car came on on the top. I think with a mid to low 1.5 60ft its a 9sec car
henessey car spun in second, with more tire and a harder launch i bet it goes 9's too
