A discount might be got by you at your dealership if you ordered your car recently but don't produce a habit of likely to your dealership if you find their prices very costly.

That doesn't guarantee quality work, even though they are certified, but there's a better possibility of the work getting done right. |
| | | | |
| − | While Bugatti's million-dollar Veyron Super Sport has officially recorded a top speed of 431km/h - and is recognised by Guinness World Records as the fastest production car - it was recorded with the car's 415km/h electronic speed limiter removed on a nine-kilometre straight section of Volkswagen's high-speed test track.

| − | Venom GT
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Company founder, John Hennessey, claims his Venom GT should claim the title as the Veyron Super Sport wasn't in the specification available to customers.
| + | The condition a repair shop is in tells you a great deal concerning the service you can expect from their store. That is the way the job gets done, if anything is out of place and sloppy. Make an effort to work with a store that is full and neat and clean of modern equipment. |

| + | Separate garages and mechanics are usually much cheaper than shops. A discount might be got by you at your dealership if you bought your vehicle recently but do not make a habit of planning to your dealership if you find their prices too costly. Learn about local independent garages with a good reputation as an alternative. |
| − | "While a Veyron Super Sport did run 267.8 mph [430.98km/h], Bugatti speed-limits its production vehicles to 258mph [415km/h]," Hennessey said. "Thus, at 265.7mph [427.60km/h] the Venom GT is the fastest production car available to the public."
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | And if not, the company is confident the car will go even faster - potentially reaching 445km/h - given the same distance as the Veyron.
| + | Look for an auto repair center that displays their qualifications for everyone to see. Obtain a good look at it to ensure they are recent. Even though they're certified, that does not guarantee quality work, but there is a larger potential for the work getting done correctly. |
| | | | |
| − | "While the 2.9mile [3.2km] long runway is more than enough acceleration distance for a F/A-18 fighter jet, it was far too short for the Venom GT to reach it's true top speed," added Hennessey Performance CEO, Don Goldman.

Get a certified price for having an expert do the task for you, then figure out what it'll consume parts and tools for you to complete it yourself. It could well be that you will not save that much and will be risking issues such as security and stability of one's vehicle. |
| | | | |
| − | It's not as though the Venom GT hasn't already been recognised as being fairly rapid. It holds the Guinness record for the quickest accelerating production car, rocketing from 0-300km/h in 13.63sec - around the same time it takes a SS Commodore to achieve half that speed.
| + | you're willing to undertake the planet of auto repair do you feel? Whether you're gaining confidence to accomplish your self to the repairs or understand what to do regarding having your vehicle to the right professional, you can certainly identify with the recommendations which have been offered. It is time to get started doing those car repairs. |

| − | The Venom GT is based on a Lotus Exige chassis but its supercharged four-cylinder engine has been replaced by a handbuilt twin-turbo 7.0-litre V8 that produces in excess of 925kW and, unlike the all-wheel drive Veyron, transmits the outrageous amount of power to the ground through only the rear wheels.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Hennessey plans to build a total of 29 of the carbon fibre Venom GTs - coincidentally one less than Bugatti's Veyron Super Sport edition - each costing a little more than $1.1 million. It claims that more than one-third have already been sold in the United States.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Hennessey's position goes against the current trends from traditional hypercar brands, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren, which have all admitted the Veyron's top speed mark has become unbeatable, but also irrelevant.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Instead, McLaren believes its new plug-in hybrid P1 flagship has been designed to be the fastest car around a racetrack while Ferrari has headed down the same path with its LaFerrari.

| − | I agree. It has none of the refinement and sophistication of the Veyron. That's what makes the Veyron so brilliant. It's not just a seat strapped to a buggy and then fed horse steroids.

| − | Why are people so stupid? I have never commented on anything before but this just made me, this is a production car it can be ordered, bought and driven by anyone who wants it bad enough. The reason they have used a lotus is because its a good base and a good car to improve. Bugatti has V.W Budgets to play with if they couldn't get it right then they really would have problems. Don't be upset just because Hennessey is kicking goals and your walking around kicking cans.

| − | I would be more impressed if the body didn't look like a stretched Lotus.

| − | Which part of "Lotus-based" did you not understand?

| − | I agree. It has none of the refinement and sophistication of the Veyron. That's what makes the Veyron so brilliant. It's not just a seat strapped to a buggy and then fed horse steroids.

| − | I'd be enormously impressed if a stretched Lotus didn't look a bit like a... stretched Lotus...

| − | I think he gets it Relentless, but I too have a problem with this being a stretched version of an existing Lotus vehicle.

| − | Looks ok, but it looks more like something you see at a custom car show, not an ultra exotic hypercar competing against bespoke works of art from Zonda, Konegsegg, Bugatti, McLaren and Ferrari

| − | I wonder if they kept the Exige's inherent superior handling? That would be one thing it can hold over the Veyron if it did....

| − | How the hell does making SIX vehicles qualify as a PRODUCTION car? When the military makes half a dozen new fighters, they're called prototypes - until a REAL production order is forthcoming.

| − | Why are people so stupid? I have never commented on anything before but this just made me, this is a production car it can be ordered, bought and driven by anyone who wants it bad enough. The reason they have used a lotus is because its a good base and a good car to improve. Bugatti has V.W Budgets to play with if they couldn't get it right then they really would have problems. Don't be upset just because Hennessey is kicking goals and your walking around kicking cans.
