haha, yes, we've discussed it before.
He was a 360 customer looooooong after the crap started at 6speed and mbworld, I'm glad things worked out for him, but Jordan was quite the entrepreneur.
Not to mention the various iterations they went through to distance themselves from their name while all but ignoring every tough question. It seems they've turned it around so kudos to them. They continue to make some pretty amazing wheels...can't knock them in that respect. Same exact story with Hennessey.

hennessey is now based out of my hometown of sealy, tx. john hennessey no longer owns the company. hennessey does some of the highest quality work available...i am biased because if have friends who work for the company and they will also be doing work for me on my TT engine build...as far as their reputation being ruined, that b.s. maybe among some supra owners, but as a whole that's a load of crap.

...remember, just because you read it on a forum doesn't mean it's true.

That whole bit about the original owner longer runs it blah blah..only idiots buys that crap. I don't believe for a second any of the companies that screw people over will continue to use their original name if the owner wasnt still in it. What's a name if it's already ruined.

This thing is a kit car AT BEST. Anyone with a capable shop can make this and actually be able to drive what their money pay for.

The dip **** Mark from SGP which has a chunk of my money lets say a nice down payment on a new car is now @ Hennessey supposedly according to numerous people who have seen him up there working.

None the less the car looks bad ***.

Amazing how shady companies can continue to operate as long as they got thick skin and ignore public opinion.
