Back in the day I imbibed in my fair share of Hennessy - along with Remy, Martell, Hine occasionally Courvoisier and sometimes the more aromatic brandies when funds were scarce.

I've seen more advertising lately for cognacs as they fell out of favor for a while .

From my understanding in their past it was standard practice to take new customer money to cover old customer orders because of very terrible money management.
This is exactly what Don found.

Terrible business practices.

Ranger Raptors are gay...
Ya know, if I'm pretty sure Ford painting up one of those Raptors is kinda old, this was done years ago in Europe if I remember correctly.

I'm not really qualified to comment on the merits, or not about this upgraded Hennesy Ranger Raptor but this is my theory:
In stock form the Ranger Raptor, at least on paper, looks perfect as is. IF I could spend the money on one I'd probably just leave it as is. In my opinion, these aftermarket packages just detract from the beauty that is the stock form of the Ranger Raptor. SO, if the Ranger Raptor isn't enough for you, to the point you're going to dump 25k on aftermarket customization, just freaking buy a Raptor R and be done with it. What are those, a bit north of 100k?
And if you've got the coin, a Raptor R is probably the most extreme truck you can get, no aftermarket customization necessary.

Curious to know how they have tuned the new Raptor; from my research, these vehicles now run Ford's latest SID212 ECU modules which are completely encrypted, meaning OBD remapping is impossible. Perhaps Hennessey has made their own piggyback unit? I know Burger Motorsports have built their JB4 for the global Raptor with great success. Or I could be wrong and Hennessey has cracked the ECU...

I just drove past those guys. Not sure if they are super busy or have a met going. I've never seen that many cars/trucks parked outside.
