Today's best supertuners and their machines

 VR1200 Twin-Turbo Coupe
John Hennessey put himself on the map by tuning one of the first Dodge Vipers to enter competition. That machine was featured in publications from Car and Driver to Hot Rod, and Hennessey Performance quickly grew into a go-fast powerhouse. With a 30,000-square-foot facility and an all-wheel-drive dyno, these guys can make just about anything quicker than it was before.
Of Hennessey's supertuners, we're partial to the VR1200 Twin-Turbo Coupe. A Cadillac CTS-V Coupe that features a de-tuned version of the same twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter V8 engine found in the company's famed Venom GT, this 2-door puts 1,226 horsepower to the rear wheels, good enough to bolt to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
