Actually, the guy owning the tuned Lotus challenged Hennessey already to have a pissing contest...

Personally, I'd take the Venom, but tastes do differ

I like the Hennessey package as well- boosted, bored LSX.

Frank Profera's Lotus is a monster. I don't think the Venom qualifies as a "Lotus" anymore. There isn't much left of the original car. Frank wins.

Considering that the Hennessy venom just had a guiness certified 0-186 mph or 0-300 kmph test today and did it in 13.4 seconds I'd say the venom wins. Mind you the Bugatti does it in roughly 20 seconds and the agera did it in 14.5 seconds.

Heres a video he wrecked his lotus on a public highway.



Douchebagness at its worst.

Send a message via AIM to Mr. Wyndham
I'm not convinced I'd fit in either of those....

The Venom looks a lot nicer to me

And basically, as has been said, there's not much left that's actually Lotus in Frank's car...
