What really makes it a supercar. now that i think about it, thats rediculous. Just compare it to a much less expensive Sportcar.

Mercedes 0-60 ; 3.9 sec (someone else said, im just quoting)
03 Viper ; 3.9sec.

Merceded top speed ; 200MPH
Viper ; not positive but new ones around 180 i believe.

Mercedes Power ; 600hp
Viper, 500.

So your paying TEN times as much money for the mercedes brand? Its not much more powerful than an 80k sportscar. Its got a little more power and slightly higher top end. for 10x that of a less prestigious car. Hennessey has shown that if he does the work and if he gives you a completed car (a big if) that the viper can easily be taken to match the power of that mercedes.

I've heard people paying the price for luxory and quality build, but a $650k price tag is a bit steep.

Even for mercedes this thing is way overpriced for its class.
