I think one of Mr. H's problems is that he doesnt build any of the parts in house, they are all outsourced to another company, which can take a while if they are making things like Titanium connecting rods. Thats one of his major flaws, and should be more productive in trying to set up his own R&D and producing it there, not only that but it would become a tax write off, especially if you see a pattern of being behind schedule with cars. Still though even if your always behind, at least make sure you update people on a weekly basis to allow them to understand your dilema, but at the same time you should either start building your own stuff, or extend your due dates to people.
None the less, his form of professionalism on that board makes me wonder if that is really him, an associate, or just some person using his name and talking like him, I just cant see someone who buiilt a reputation in the field come online and splurge like that, knowing writing stuff on the internet stays on teh internet, its not just word of mouth he say she say, its word for word. Now I will also say that seeing what he charges for such jobs, A. I can't believe people actually pay that much for upgrades and B. after hearing such stories, that he's still in business. I would love to work in a shop like that, and getting such cars to move quickly in and out of there. I cant see a viper just sitting there and collecting dust for almost a year without being touched, its gotta be in the back of his mind that hey, theres a customers $80,000, and payed 142,500 for mods, maybe I should finish it up.
His prices are out ragious, and in the end, it would be smarter to just buy a V6 or V8 Camaro coming out, get a crate LS9, have it tuned locally, and have a good chance of making numbers higher then what Hennessey produced, and payed a fraction of the cost. Remember, the cost of the vehicle is not included in the cost of his upgrade!! I'd rant more, but ill let your eyes take a break.
