I wasn't being picky, just curious as to why, I know that there is some power loss from the motor to the wheels, but 144hp is big loss.

Any tuner that can create that much power is amazing my books, underground racing and various others. And I'm a huge fan of the Vemon GT. So I have great respect for Hennessey.

So before you bash someone, keep in mind we not all as clued up as you, so how abotu you get off you high horse and give a reader the benefit of the doubt and try to be a little polite.
