The 2 are VERY much the same.Hennessey even built their own version of the S-7 called the Venom.
Show me how they are NOT the same?
The only 2 differences I see are:Age and If I'm not mistaken,?Hennessey is a private company.Other than that,IMO,they are identical...

lol. they do the same thing upgrade vehicles that are already built by another manufacture. Saleen tried to produce it's own vehicle and fell flat on it's face, asked for extensions on failure to comply notices so they could sell off the last of its S-7's. they failed because the tried be something their not. They are not even comparable to Hennessey because Hennessey is building better upgrades on a better budget. 1200hp Cadillac's, 750hp mustangs, 750hp Camaros, and the corvettes. Far more to choose from then the messily three that Saleen is offering.
Hennessey is a full out shop with a school, and clients ranging from the rich and famous to joe down the street.

What do you call taking a Camaro or mustang and upgrading it to have more power and performance? If it's not a tuner shop what is it??? Truly interested in hearing what you have to say!!!

They are not the same, any car guy can tell the two apart. Hennessy adds performance upgrades, slaps on some decals and sells fast upgraded cars and trucks. If that's what your after, he offers a fine machine. They also call themselves a tuner shop. Saleen on the other hand takes a new car and creates a complete new automobile. Installs new body panels, parts, repaints, new interior, suspension, performance upgrades.
The Heritage Collection is far from a Tuner product. SLNN is a specialty car manufacturer that offers the complete package.
