It must be difficult to get all the power to ground when accelerating and the car is probably scary (and very dangerous) at speeds over 200 MPH.
The Veyron has multiple tests of hard acceleration and 250+ MPH with no issues at all.

Agree with this 100%. Plus Hennessey's battered reputation does not help either.
