i think this can go more than 200 mph to be honest look at how fast from 190 to 195. this car has more potential, but needs to change gear ratios. And to people saying Hellcat is faster please watch how this car accelerates again with glasses.
That is what separates a regular boss from a leader. John Hennessey has the balls to test his own creations. Not hire a driver to do it. He is actually endangering himself for the sake of the team, and that is why I have massive respect for that man. Keep up the great work!!!
clearly the car is capable of soooo much more. its funny how so many "supercars" with gobs of aero in there deisgn simply crawls to get near the 200 mark. while this thing is barely in full stride when when it slams into the limiter. mechanically this car seems like it could push a near 215. Thats huge considering this car doesnt even have the fully meat and potatoes exterior treatment
please dont defer to the Jeremy Clarkson knowlege base. yes in general weight is bad, the less you have the faster you go, unless there inst enough weight to accompany the friction needed for traction. which is what aerodynamic downforce is all about. delivering enough weight to enable the tires to do there job (create friction) better. As well as stabilizing the vehicles body of mass traveling thru the air. when you talk of downforce your talking hundreds of pound of force (weight) applied to the vehicle when its most need. F1 cars couldnt make a turn if not for all the aero bit on and around the vehicle. I too was very much disappointed with the mustangs weight gain, oppose to the weight loss that was promised by Ford, But this cars performance is far superior to the outgoing model, why is that? its not that much more powerfull than the outgoing car, whats different is how its weight is distributed around the vehicle, its center of gravity is lower, it now has a proper sports car layout, (wheels staggered out occupants in the center of the wheels (pyramid) in stead of on top (box) its proprtions has finally been addressed. lower wider sleaker opposed to tall stubby boxy. GT350/R takes it all a bit further lengthening and widening the car, (staggered front to rear wheels) lower front end etc.
A statement has bee made: 1. Hennessey prayed to GOD for his team, their efforts, their vision and goals. Any one who has seen this video with not be surprise of the 200++ mph once Hennessey and Company (HennCo) let loose this 2015 Mustang Mean Machine, 2. HennCo achieved 195 mph with their 2015 Mustang 700 horse power (Their Camaro 1100 horsepower at 203 mph and Cadillac CTS-V 1200 horsepower at 220 mph. 3. 195 mph on an Oval with a 1.1 mile straight. The Camaro, Cadillac(Toll road) and other high end performers were done on straights 4 to 5 times longer than a 1.1 mile straight. 4. Hennessey not only drove his 2015 Mustang to and from location; by fill up with consumer gasoline. Fresh oil change; and you know a little used oil in your vehicle performs better his oil. Those other top end performers vehicles are carted (towed) in to performance location. 5. Not only did he drive his 2015 Mustang 200 miles for an top end assessment; he drive it home after the assessment. Any you car junkies rave about the Honda/Acura NSX being a daily driver. A very strong statement made. Ford Racing and numerous tuners may have been caught sleeping. Perhaps not; GT350/Shelby GT500. I cannot wait until HennCo touches the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost. I am saving my change.
Although I'm not a Mustang loyalists I must admit I'm impressed with the 2015's, especially since the IRS. But what I'm most impressed with is how discreet Hennessey keeps the appearance and noise. I might not WANT you to know I've got 700hp.
153 people must drive a prius ! Chevy and dodge look out because FORD has got you beat by a long shot! #fordnation #mustangnation All you chevy fans just got embarrassed ! Exactly why I love ford!
@Robert Wolfe Yes, he ran out of gears. But I'd think they would change the ratios, allowing for more speed in 6th instead of converting the transmission to a 7-speed. I'd honestly say this thing is capable of doing 215mph with enough room & correct gearing lol. Also, it makes ~700 horsepower at the crank, so maybe 575hp to 625hp at the wheels to account for drivetrain loss.
Agreed. The car pulled hard to 195 and seemed like it had a lot more left in it for a an 200+ mph run. The engine makes 663 hp but I'm not sure if its at the crank or at the wheels. The video is on this channel.
Of course they have to pray to the mighty GOD what would happen if a tire exploded in that sort of speed he would of died instantly in that Ford Mustang it's just a split second that can take away your life so don't talk SHIT guys in your comments below. Nick22
He has been to good to me...Jesus Christ is the Holy son of God and ALL the glory and praises belong to Him alone..oh and on a lower level, I love mustangs to lol
Excellent !! When the road surface is taken into consideration, the car actually exceeds 200 mph [example: if this was done on the German Autobhan]. Then Sir Hennessy was running on the VERY EDGE OF THE ROUGH TRACK [i.e simulating the Left/Right lane on a public road]. This car is in the league of the very best supercars. EXCELLENT !! I love the prayers. Keep it up. Hope you make a couple hundred thousand sales Sir Hennessey.
0:41 I see you guys stopped in my home town.... the nice quiet town of Sabinasty... I grew up a couple of blocks from there... great vid... big fan of everything Hennessey!
Hennessy what an Awesome company. .. I really liked the way they built before I seen them circle up and say a prayer before the run very classy impressed guys.
ADeliciousBurrito It would take less than 200rpm boost to crack 200. Seems like a small risk to me if they only want to hit the number. But changing the gearing is a better option overall for a car with that much power.
thybigballs Neither really. The gearing was a bit too short in order to get the car to 200mph, so they need to change the 6th gear ratio around so it's doing lower rpm's at the same speed, which will allow the car to go faster before hitting the rev limiter.
tamapalagi The car was going really strong just before 195, so i think aerodynamics aren't the reason it couldn't go faster, you can even hear the rev limiter a bit in the video. I think this'll do at least 210mph if they can get a straight enough road and different gearing.
Man, that thing sounds good! Imo, considering how well it was still acceleration when it hit the rev-limiter slightly taller rear-end gears is probably all it needs. If it currently has the optional 3.55 rear gears, if they swapped them out for the 3.15 gears that should get them to 200mph. Furthermore It would probably even have better off the line traction with the taller gears considering all the power it makes now.
Just need a little bit taller gearing. Seemed to still be pulling hard and there's no question whether it had enough power to hit 200 or not. You'll get it next time guys!
A 3.31 rear will get it to 210... and then you can tinker with the rev limiter, a 7.4k rpm should be very possible. Extremely fast car!! Great job guys!!
Wow! What a car! It takes a real man to show his respect for the Lord by showing who he puts his faith in. I'm impressed not only by the car but for John Hennessy the man. 8)
Can you explain what "hitting the limiter" means? Isn't the speed limiter removed? I would guess the factory limiter is set to 155mph. My first thought was ran out of gears and needs a 7th to achieve 200mph. Great run! What are the dyne numbers?
Can somebody please fill me in on racelogic data box in this car? I love that look over some of the other recorders. Would like to know where to get this one
***** I think he likes making any vehicle platform perform better! But american cars are in his backyard but he'll tune any car that is brought to him ...
***** lol! Well you call them back and you say," listen you sons of bitches,you gods of car tuning and bolt on performance ! You tune my fucking jag or I'll take a fat sloppy diarrhea shit and mail it to your shop and kids school for a year ,while I plan for the second year of insults, you take my car and make it offensively fast ! Oh'yah, do you have 30 grand available ? Because if you don't ,then this will just look silly!
The new S550's in all black look real badass love the blue and white but if anyone wants a badass looking color go with the black its right or this car. Can someone explain why the limiter was it from factory ?
If your car sounds like a plane when it drives by at extreme speeds you have won at life
i think this can go more than 200 mph to be honest look at how fast from 190 to 195. this car has more potential, but needs to change gear ratios. And to people saying Hellcat is faster please watch how this car accelerates again with glasses.
Considering the way it was accelerating, 200 MPH is absolutely possible! I bet even more.
That is what separates a regular boss from a leader. John Hennessey has the balls to test his own creations. Not hire a driver to do it. He is actually endangering himself for the sake of the team, and that is why I have massive respect for that man. Keep up the great work!!!
Love the car mad respect. These guys are the real deal. Liked the prayer. Don't listen to the hatters keep up the positivity it's refreshing.
My favorite part is where you pray at the begining. Thats awesome.
God bless America..... and American muscle.
Amen! Keep the prayers up!
Absolutely
clearly the car is capable of soooo much more. its funny how so many "supercars" with gobs of aero in there deisgn simply crawls to get near the 200 mark. while this thing is barely in full stride when when it slams into the limiter. mechanically this car seems like it could push a near 215. Thats huge considering this car doesnt even have the fully meat and potatoes exterior treatment
heck, though daily conditions vary, this car even out pace the Hennessey c7 stingray!

you won me over with the prayer...that's why your so successful
he's successful because he's smart and knows how to make power.
Although I'm not a Mustang loyalists I must admit I'm impressed with the 2015's, especially since the IRS. But what I'm most impressed with is how discreet Hennessey keeps the appearance and noise. I might not WANT you to know I've got 700hp.
Love the car and the prayer John Hennessy makes me proud to be a Texan!
I love the way new mustangs look, so evil looking yet so beautiful.
This car was pulling quick up to the limiter. I definately see this car going 200+. Great job Hennessy. Keep praying and it will come.
Love these guys! And it's awesome to see them pray! Right on Hennessy performance!
I like how you guys pray before you went out and did anything and put it in your video :)
153 people must drive a prius ! Chevy and dodge look out because FORD has got you beat by a long shot! #fordnation #mustangnation All you chevy fans just got embarrassed ! Exactly why I love ford!
Great job John and HPE team!! You guys never fail to impress. Im sure Carroll Shelby is looking down smiling from ear to ear.
Loved the prayers before the run!!! I respect a man of faith!!!
I love the Glory to God in the HIGHEST!
@Robert Wolfe Yes, he ran out of gears. But I'd think they would change the ratios, allowing for more speed in 6th instead of converting the transmission to a 7-speed.

That power... And with the way it pulled a few more revs will see that 200 for sure!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I dont understand why 50 people dislike this video.......
Best part of the video is the prayer to God
change the exhaust, it will hit hit 200
God bless you guys !!
Excellent !! When the road surface is taken into consideration, the car actually exceeds 200 mph [example: if this was done on the German Autobhan].

I love the prayers. Keep it up. Hope you make a couple hundred thousand sales Sir Hennessey.
Is awesome, congratulation Henessy and nice AmericanMuscle
The car got to that speed pretty easily.
I love the new design of the Mustang, and with the HPE700; it's just AWESOME!
This man and his company has done so much for the muscle car world and Auto car world in general. Way to go Hennessy.
Wow. beautiful
Impressive how it was still pulling even at 190
Good work. A few tweaks and I see you guys hitting 200mph. I can see this thing eating Hellcats with no problems at all.
That takes some serious balls, hats off Hennessy team.
0:41 I see you guys stopped in my home town.... the nice quiet town of Sabinasty... I grew up a couple of blocks from there... great vid... big fan of everything Hennessey!
3:19 for the good part watched like 5 times in a row
Uvalde, Texas?!! Whoa! That's just an hour away from where I live!
Excited to see some car guys that still pray keep it up John. God's obviously been watching over you
Hennessy what an Awesome company. ..
I really liked the way they built before I seen them circle up and say a prayer before the run very classy impressed guys.
What a ride! Thanks for sharing.
On a factory Exhaust.. wow. Ford is getting big these days..AND no gov't bailout? Pretty strong statement here.
Really like how u guys prayed first...pretty respectable!!!! Awsome video!!!!
If Hennessy wanted 200+ they can certainly do that.
Absolutely beautiful!! Although I would've put it on a dyno before to check where the gearing maxed out to make sure I'd hit what I wanted...
Man I drive through Hondo all the time! I hope to see this car in person one day!
Hey, guys. Thanks for representing the State of Texas very well.
Extending the Rev limiter would let it go faster, righttt?
Yeah, but at increased risk of blowing the engine. they'll probably change the gearing around to accommodate a faster speed.
Was it the rev limiter or speed limiter?
ADeliciousBurrito It would take less than 200rpm boost to crack 200. Seems like a small risk to me if they only want to hit the number.
But changing the gearing is a better option overall for a car with that much power.

Hennessey has always been a top speed chaser. He started with his 3000GT VR-4 almost 25 years ago.
Man, that thing sounds good!
Imo, considering how well it was still acceleration when it hit the rev-limiter slightly taller rear-end gears is probably all it needs.

Been watching vids of this car all night. This is one of the sexiest vehicles i've ever seen. I need one in my life.
John is my favorite figure in the automotive world. He just seems a car guy with no bullshit (well apart from the praying bit)
Everything is better in TEXAS where Mustangs run free.
why are they using that shit motor oil......
I just loved this video! Beautiful car. I love America. God bless
Pennzoil should DEFINITELY use parts of this video for there next commercial lol
yes! all in my head and heart... your right thx😇
Things can get sketchy real fast at those speeds, especially with car not exactly known for being the most aerodynamic. well done!
Wow! What a car! It takes a real man to show his respect for the Lord by showing who he puts his faith in. I'm impressed not only by the car but for John Hennessy the man. 8)
Hennessey is a Great Man !!
The cover picture of this video is dope af 🔥
Such a beautiful car !!
is this a Pennzoil commercial?
*Unpopular Opinion:*
It hit 195mph. It's fast enough.
Hennessy Making it happen again Great work
That's fast.
Very cool thing is, that you can do this speed legally, on many highways in germany.
the engine looks sick!
Well, why didn't you disable the limiter?
do they install the supercharger kits or do they only seel their own cars with all of thta installed?
I can't be sure, but it seemed you are revving close to 8k, am I correct??
make a video like this for all of the cars and trucks you guys tune.
New gears are needed... great video!
LOL 0:36
I want to know how much the HPE750 costs total..?
❤️
what gear ratio?
epic, God bless yall.
@3:13 OMG it sounds like a jet!
True masterpiece!
Can you explain what "hitting the limiter" means? Isn't the
speed limiter removed? I would guess the factory limiter
is set to 155mph.
My first thought was ran out of gears
and needs a 7th to achieve 200mph.
Great run! What are the dyne numbers?
Beautiful car
Omg sounded like a spaceship lol amazing love this car
Can somebody please fill me in on racelogic data box in this car? I love that look over some of the other recorders. Would like to know where to get this one
I'm confused about the oil, was it Royal Purple ??
Wandering if hes still using the 2 piece driveshaft??
Very impressive.
Thanks for sharing.
Is higher horsepower necessarily mean higher top speed?
Why Not german cars ???? Like BMW or Merc. They have also Lot of tunig potential
They have done European cars but Hennessey likes american cars because that's where he's from and is proud of american heritage!
***** en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hennessey_Performance_Engineering
***** I think he likes making any vehicle platform perform better! But american cars are in his backyard but he'll tune any car that is brought to him ...
Thomas Gardner I do believe I asked them to tune my Jaguar a long time ago, and got no response.
***** lol! Well you call them back and you say," listen you sons of bitches,you gods of car tuning and bolt on performance ! You tune my fucking jag or I'll take a fat sloppy diarrhea shit and mail it to your shop and kids school for a year ,while I plan for the second year of insults, you take my car and make it offensively fast ! Oh'yah, do you have 30 grand available ? Because if you don't ,then this will just look silly!
The new S550's in all black look real badass love the blue and white but if anyone wants a badass looking color go with the black its right or this car. Can someone explain why the limiter was it from factory ?
Sounds insane
What are the mods done on this thing?
Any plans with the 5.2 Flat Plane Crank motor?
Not yet but I'm working on it.....
210+mph is not a very hard goal for this car, MUCH MORE THAN CAPABLE.
Thats just gear ratio limiting the top speed. Work of art on that engine!
