Its cheaper than an Enzo :engarde:

just wait for the new z06 get some lower compression pistons and get a cam and blower their u go

I like how they didn't even bother with the mpg. If your gonna buy that car, you don't care.

Oh, well that settles it for me.
:bomb:

Yes, but the Enzo will appreciate in value as with all special limited edition Ferraris. Will the S7? For $555K I'll wait for the faster ME412.

The ME-412 is not going to be made.

The Saleen is nearly the pinnacle of American supercars, and it will probably appreciate.

Hmmmm, house , supercar? House , supercar? Put a mattress in it it , I'll take it!http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif

Don't know if I'd want it, just for the sheer fact that all these cars were custom made to order for the driver as far as seat height, pedal placement, etc.....If I was gonna pay that much for a car, than I'd want that as well.

looks great, i always liked the look of the S7. kinda strange that such a expensive, and well built motor can only spin to 6500 rpm. also the turbos are only set to make 5.5 lbs of boost max. you could bump the boost up to 8-9lbs and have a sub 10s car right off the show room floor. its pretty impressive to me, i would take one over a porshe or ferrari just b/c its american muscle.

:drool: isn't the car supposed to be able do theoretically drive upside down because of the extreme downforce?

i could care less about the price if i could afford it i would definetly own it. imagine a car that can de-thrown Ferrari and is american made. if you can beat 'em join 'em by slapping in a set of twin turbos and look at that power from 500 to 750. has to be the baddest mid-engine sports car ever.

If the street car has as many problems as the race car, then no thanks...i'll stick w/ a built up vette. For 555k, its a steal in the supercar world, no doubt. And its american made which is another plus...but for the sheer fact that their longeviety on the track hasnt been a shining star would make me think twice.

If you're getting that car, money isn't a factor. I would trade a kidney to have that car in silver

Yea, it's supposed to make enough downforce once it hits 160

If I had half a mil to buy a car, I'd just buy a couple Ferraris and a Lamborghini! :D

I saw the car at the Detroit Auto Show. Very nice, but not for me.

It's 11:1 compression... I don't think turning up the boost would be your friend. :bomb:

6500 RPM is pretty high to spin a pushrod, 427, forced induction motor.

This car is absolutely amazing, and so damn sexy... I can't believe some of you guys are acting like it wouldn't be a welcomed addition to your garage...

0-60 mph:2.8 sec
0-100 mph:6.0 sec
Quarter Mile:10.7 sec @ 136 mph
Skidpad:1.10g

Very nice numbers. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif

I rather spend the extra money for hte Enzo. . the enzo can actually handle. . .

That comment is... :supergay:

Okay reality check....... you could build a 10 second car for a fraction of the cost, if thats what you want. Or you could have 750 HP in your F-body, still brings up the point:
Where are you going to drive a car like that.....public road, highway.....how about a nice side street :)
Its all about blowing more money than you know what to do with and a car (or item ) like that just reinforces the wealthy egotisical lifestyle, damn right I'm jealous!:jest:

ok I'd rather drive around in a saleen, then a camaro....its sooo much more better looking and attention grabbing.

It doesn't look like it's intercooled either. So definately don't want to turn the b00st up too much.

Then there's the fact that EVERY cop in America would spot you too. I'd rather have annonimity. :secret2:
