Weathermen and weatherladies sometimes use the Fujita scale to describe storm levels. The highest point on the Fujita scale is F5, which refers to wind speeds of between 261mph and 318mph.
Why do you need to know this? Because it explains the Venom F5 name chosen by American fast car specialists Hennessey for their latest madness machine.
How mad is it? Well, it has a claimed top speed of 300mph-plus. All this from a road-legal car with number plates and indicators.

I’ve read some very negative things about Hennessey and the way they do business. I wouldn’t give money to a tuner anyway - any mods I’ve ever done to my cars have been minor things I could do myself - but anyone planning to hand over a big check to any tuner should definitely do their homework first about the company’s track record of business practices.

That was the PERFECT response!

Looks great! Like it might just possibly be fast enough to get that damned Costco parking space ahead of the Chinese women in Lexii racing for it 😈😈🤡

Ever drive in MA? I swear they’re the best drivers. They know to an inch where you are from their peripheral vision but never let you know so they can scare you out of any conflict situation. Rarely see accidents in MA. Used to see at least one per day on the Outer Drive in Chicago.

If they are going to sell the car in Florida, they can dispense with the indicators.

Speed on the highway all comes down to 2 semis running side-by-side, slight uphill grade, at 65mph for 15 miles — and you are behind them. Grrrrr

Meh. I’m a Studebaker guy.

I prefer this Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which
clocked a speed of only 267.9 mph.

Must be great fun over speed bumps.
