O.K. guys is there another Hennessey edition, because I saw one in some
magazine that got 750 horses, had top speed 200+ and it cost $150,000. It
may be a race edition, and may not even be available to public but I know
they make it, I saw the pictures, it looked awesome. has a huge wing on
the back to keep rear end down, any of you guys know anything about it?
