John Hennessey and Vinny Russo

Legendary tuner John Hennessey has been in the horsepower business for over 25 years. From humble beginnings modifying the Mitsubishi 3000GT to making himself known with the world's fastest street Vipers, and now the 273 MPH Hennessey Venom GT, John's business Hennessey Performance is one of the world's largest and most successful tuning outfits. He joins us to talk about his newest projects like the 800 HP Supercharged Shelby GT350 and 800 HP Escalade, teases the new Venom F5, and responds to his most recent controversy.

John is joined by an old friend of ours, Vinny Russo, who has worked in all areas of the automotive marketing and PR industry. He has worked for Lamborghini, Maserati, Spyker, and more. Vinny has recently gotten attention for his $10,000 Dodge Viper project car.
