Hennessey Motors sells their IS-F
I was skimming ebay motors and I noticed that Hennessey Motors put the Silver ISF they were using for testing performance upgrades up for sale. I guess they abandoned the idea of testing performance parts for the ISF. There asking $56,900usd.

John Hennessey owned the car personally and he hated it. I guess he was expecting brute TQ at 2k rpm like he sees outta the SRT-8 products he's used to. It really just wasn't his cup of tea.

It was more like he didn't know how to break the code for the Toyota/Lexus ECM.

or maybe they figure it's harder to "take" money from is-f owners?

That's not a bad price, but probably could get that deal at a local dealer at this point if you negotiated well enough.. Not to mention they probably used and abused that one..

It's easy to jump on the "bashing" bandwagon when you see Hennessey's name. I can tell you that the inferences made here are not the case. John truly disliked the car, period. And guess what? That's ok! He bought the car for modding potential and figured out that exhaust and intake mods don't have enough potential for him to dedicate the time/money, on top of the fact he doesn't like the car, so he's selling it... Other than about 20 dyno runs, the car has not been abused, his wife put almost all the miles on the car (and she loved it by the way).
Of course he and I disagree b/c I LOVE the car and think it's the best thing since sliced bread...

Because I am selling my house and looking to double in size (and probably in payment). My house and and family is much more important than my car. In addition, like I state in my F/S ad, it's NO big deal if it doesn't sell, then I will keep it. Anything else unrelated to this thread that you need to know? Pretty bold for a newb I must say....
