I have to be honest Frank, I like it.

[the ronin]

I like the way it looks but Hennessey called my car a POS and me a pussy after I asked him to meet me for a little canyon run or some track time, who's the pink kitty ?

[Scuffers]

would be nice to see somebody actually Drive it (as opposed to pootle up and down a short road whilst jacking off)

be interested to see if it can actually meet any of the claims made for it...

[the ronin]

Notice how there are no nose cameras to show the twists in the road because there were none....

[Scrambled]

I do agree with the two of you; needs a 'proper' road test. I know there's beef with you Frank but I would like this to be a good car despite Hennessy's background and past antics.

Frank, did he reeeeaaaaallllllyyyy call you a pussy? You're more of an overly hairy alley cat.

[the ronin]

I guess as the sayin goes you are what you eat therefore Hennessey must be a dick.....

Love it!

I said the same about the Rocket Pig, how can you not, a Lotus Elise/Exige ‘tuned’ up to 11 – awesome stuff.

I was listening to The Smoking Tyre podcast today where they were discussing the Venom GT, apparently it does the corner business but unfortunately, and understandably, Matt Farah doesn’t clip it in the Tuned video.


Regarding Hennesseys ‘background & past antics’ – this is something John acknowledges & regrets but it was over ten years ago when he was still new to business. It unfortunately happens. Since then, he has apparently really worked on the customer service side & has had a great record for the last eight years.

wonder if this is one of the mythical 1200bhp ones

be interesting to see one on a road that is more than a straight line, why is there never anything about one going round a track to show the handling.

Still can't see how they can justify $1m for one, its like all the modified saxo's that you see for around the £15k mark

[GTRene]

not thinking about the price...I would love to own one.

if I was a billionaire I would
then a million is 1/1000 of that persons money...
for 1/1000 of my money on the bank, I would buy it too

so its way out of range sadly, so have to do with a little less.

[the ronin]

A better modified Lotus can be had for 1/10 th the price and I mean a car that is balanced..

So the Venom is the "fastest and coolest car" he's ever driven...hasn't he also driven your car ronin?

Yeah but he said mine was the fastest Lotus in the world with a question mark ??????? I guess since Hennessey says his salvaged Lotus is a kit car oh I mean a venom it is in a different league..

Matt also told me Hennessey would never run with me in the canyons or on track because that's not what his kit car is all about..

I've never made any claims about my car, that was all Matt's hype to get viewers. I did the video to show peeps what could be done with the 2ZZ engine but all the tech info was never used.

I will do my own video showing the new ronin 711 with zero hype, no need to show a guy giggling while going straight in a car.. I want to see and hear the car not chuckles.

I would love to have a go in one. Its going to be fast with that engine in the back. Looking at some of the kit used in the turbo instal I do think it would probably melt on track though but then its a posing car more than a driving car.
