Hennessey Maximus 1000 Final Shakedown Runs

Growing bigger without becoming complacent is very hard in the aftermarket. By adopting the same quality controls as the big automakers, we can wittness a new Hennessey Maximus 1000 final shakedown runs. Each employee is taught the function of each component along with what any possible fault in its appearance.

Alex invites three technicians to listen for rattles and experience the abilities of the latest 1,000 horsepower Jeep. Their supercharger moves 1/3rd more air than the standard Hellcat Hemi, so the transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, and axles must be bulletproof. Launching from a dig we get a view of the pavement as the squat allows for consistent grip while still allowing flexibility in the woods. Due to the complexity in this conversion, they only built two-dozen of the specialized chassis parts. Several have been delivered and more are in-process, so order yours before Maximus is relegated to the history books.
