Please don't flame me :devil: for posting info about cars other than DCX, however I just read the article about the 2007 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. I just wanted to say, I love good old American muscle. These numbers are amazing( not to mention the paint job on the car)

7.0 Litre ( 426 cu in.)
750hp
700lb-ft

0-60 in 3.4
0-100 6.0
1/4 mile 10.7 sec 143.8mph!!!

Sorry if this is not interesting to you, or not appropriate on this forum, but these numbers are staggering when you consider its competition would be a Ferrari Enzo ( $1,000,000 + if you can get your hands on one )
Bugatti Veyron ( 1,000,000 +)

Any you can have this Saleen for a mere $592,700!!!

Well, since you are comparing it to an Enzo, you have to remember that the Enzo was about $600K new, but as you mentioned, they are now worth over $1 million. The S7 will never appreciate like that. There is a reason why people still buy Ferrari's.

I agree with you.

I was just really interested with the performance numbers. For an American Supercar, I would say "performance wise" it is a definate competitor.

Cheers.
