March 25th, 2006 - Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) began testing the Venom Competition Coupe at the Texas Mile - a standing mile event held in Goliad, TX (about 2.5 hrs southwest of Houston). The Venom Competition Coupe (VCC) with just 480 rear wheel hp ran 161 in the standing mile. By removing the rear wing the VCC ran 170.8 mph in the mile.
