Should I drive my Hennessey Twin Turbo on a 2000 mile Road Trip?

[K-80-123]

My truck should be back this week....I have to be in Wyoming on the 21st of this month....since I have not really had any fun driving my truck I thought I would take her on a road trip to Wyoming.

But I need some help.....should I do it?.....Will it make it? Will I get stranded on the highway?

I need to know what you guys think.

 

[RedRamRules]

Yes, thats why God invented AAA

 

[doneo]

although my build was not as complicated.....i took her to the Nats and back to New Jersey for a total of 1430 miles 8 days after i got her back. I figured it was the best way to get used to her and put her thru the paces.

I say ABSOLUTELY

 

[muscletrucks]

I say hell yes..You paid to play, no go play..Enjoy it..

Just make sure your AAA is current (just in case)

 

[ViperJeff]

Yes, without a doubt...

 

[Rice Eater]

it seems like cruising on the high way would be a good way to get your beast used some forced induction....better than beating on it around town any way. but yeah def sign up for AAA!!!

 

[ViperJeff]

One more thing, just remember to talk to Phil (Big Asp) about hills and sixth gear.

I know you have a completely different setup, but that doesn't mean the same thing is not possible

I dont know.....is it still smoking? Dont worry....just drive it .....if it breaks....BURNIT!

 

[OCBob]

What the hell, you've got all this time and $$$ into it. I would give it a try.

I say Fuc**** A, Walt

After all you been through i say a 2000 mile truck ride will make you fall in love with it again


just the gas will be pricy..

 

[mmmmtorque]

Go for it! Just watch out for those cross winds in Wyoming

 

[Manic]

What ever you do, I can't wait for you to get it back!

Hey Walt,
I would drive it and then have the tow truck that Hennessy was going to pay for follow you all the way home.

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

one word Walt...........1fast400......... I wouldnt chance the trouble and the headache..........I love ya bro,but just not sure about 2000 miles maybe 200 to start, not trying to be a dick, just I know it can be pain stranded at 6pm in the evening, watching people drive by in the freakin heat.

 

[Get Bit]

IF he gets stranded in WY, I am only 20 min from the Co/WY border, I would help a fellow member / Owner out! I am sure it will be ok, just might be risky with it being it's first road trip.

 

[ViperPoweredRam]

i don't know what i would do. with all of the problems that you have already had. it might just make you frustrations worse. but then again i would love to get that thing out and drive it. i would prolly just say fu$k it and take it.go for it

 

[Blakewilder]

Take Stinker with ya...i heard he can suck start a Harley!

 

[K-80-123]

Well I am still trying to decide...Stinker thanks I can always get what your really feeling about something when you reply.....just so you know JH says the same thing you said when I asked him.......but what the hell....I think it would be fun as hell to take it....provided I did not have a breakdown...

I just have never really had much fun with it and If it breaks I will send to Boomer......now if it does break how will I get it to him......hmmm....Need to think about that one....AAA is going to be a must.....if I decide to do this I will leave this Sunday and hope for the best........I will make 2 days each way so I will only drive during the day.....just in case it takes a dump on me.

I am still trying to decide.....thanks for the input I have the rest of this week to make up my mind.

Tony nailed IMHO.... 200 miles.... tough call.

2000 miles... could be some real fun.... could be a bigger nightmare.:dontknow:

IF it were me Walt, I would let them ship it.... just from the potential reliability issue.

Good Luck.... I really hope she is finally complete, and gives you "happy ending".
