Question on Hennessey VelociRaptor

[NM_Life_Defender]

I know, I know...sounds like most of you are not fans. That said, I'm eyeing a 2018 VelociRaptor that appears to be in excellent condition. Does anyone here have firsthand experience with a Gen 2 VelociRaptor (good, bad, or indifferent)?

Thanks in advance for any constructive input.

I'm not touching that with your 20' pole.

It's not that we're not fans, it's that he is a crook and his s.h.i.t is garbage and not just the Raptors he's brunt to the ground or the engines he grenades, it's anything they touch.

I had the chance to get a '14 VR dahm near identical to mine, did the reading and research here and walked away from it

I appreciate the replies. What I'm really looking for is anyone who currently owns a Gen 2 that can provide real world info on problems, reliability, etc. Thanks!

Welcome to the place. There have been a couple of guys on here, but they were not very active. Best advice would be to look at their reviews online, there is a lot of negativity and also some who worship them. Just remember that there will not be any warranty if that is a deal breaker for you. Good luck.

I wouldn't buy anything their shop touched. Just google the keywords "John Hennessey viper" and that will tell you all you need to know.

Thanks everyone.

Lack of replies speaks for itself. No personal experience but it’s a hefty price tag for a package with their name on it. Best of luck in your search!

I threw in the towel on the V-Raptor. The salesman actually talked me out of it. Purchased a 2019 CPO with less than 12k miles on it. Picking it up Thursday. Can't wait!

I guarantee in the long run you will be MUCH happier with that decision!
