Default Re: New super car warranty

Charlie, referring to something 13 yrs back does not seem fair. I just checked, and maybe they are not as bad as you infer, as Jay Leno bought a 2011 Camaro from them. I think being able to convince Jay Leno is not an easy accomplishment.

Getting back to what I stated, the dominant reason I would select a conversion, it was based on warranty. Hennessy states they have a 3 yr/36K mile. The dodge 700HP competiton has a 5 yr/100K.

As far as Nickey, if I have to precheck on something that is common-sensical to me, before posting, maybe I should not post here anymore. I read those other specs, and if they (Lingenfelter and Hennessy) are doing something to improve breathing to get some of the horsepower gain, then the balance has to be increased fuel delivery. All of them seem to be polishing the intake flow. I looked at some of the injector specs, and I see 65 lbs for Lingenfelter and I see a 85? for Nickey. So I made the comment, when someone else stated emissions, the Nickey conversion has to likely be pushing more fuel considering they have not touched the heads. I further stated nobody would NOT pass emissions, only pointed to concern. After 2-3 yrs you would be on your own, and some of these cars wont go in to emissions testing until after the warranty expires. Here in the state of Illinois, I believe its 5 yrs from new, and then every 2 yrs.
