Oh, oh, I don't know if I want to learn why they can't look it up by the plaque number.

Really. Having only produced a few dozen supercharged units, you would think they have the data onhand to tie plaque #s to VIN #s.

They actually told me before I gave them the plaque number that they probably wouldn't be able to look it up. I have no idea why they wouldn't record that, but apparently they only do it if the car is registered with them by the owner, whatever that means. I'll give him the vin and get to the bottom of it out of curiousity at this point.

When Dinan issued the plaque #, they SHOULD have entered the vehicle VIN # into their database.

Give Henessey a Viper Venom plaque #, or Saleen a Mustang plaque #, and they will give you vehicle VIN, date build completed, equipment installed, dyno results for Venoms..........

You're telling me only 27 supercharged units and they don't have a record of them?

Now, now, calm down boys, let's not jump to judgment.

Did they sell a few dozen, 27 or what?

27 is the correct #.

Seems shoddy they issued that plaque yet it has no data associated. Unless it is not theirs which makes it worse (for this seller)
