Other Vehicles
I did a short search here and I didn't see this thread in my search. If there is one please forgive me. What are your other mechanical pride and joys? For me it is my 1994 Hennessey Dodge Stealth R/T twin turbo. Yes Hennessey tuned the 3000GT / Stealth, it was actually the platform that got him started.
Yes I know that there is a VERY shady past tied to this name. I acquired this car back mid-summer 09 with just over 25,xxx miles on her and this was the sticker on the intake "Y" pipe that got me hunting for more info.

What I discovered is that the original owner of this car was also the owner of the dealership. He wanted "more" from the car and sent a mechanic on a quest to find what was out there for the platform. Hennessey was bankrupt at this time, so everything that was done was bought from Hennessey and installed and tuned at the dealership. Given Hennessey's history that might have been a good thing. I have been able to visually confirm that my car was built to Stage 5 minus the Vein Pressure Converter. As I have modified the car I have kept two factors in thought, 1: What would Hennessey do if this was still a car that they tuned. 2. Put more emphasis on the Track portion of the R/T. Below is a list of what I have done:
