It doesn't look great?

I'm not that big of a fan...sure I love to compare it to an Enzo but why that when you could buy a Koenigsegg or Carrera GT.

S7 is completely made by hand, not machine. takes 2 months to make one S7, and now all sell out. Even the customers order the car before they starts making the car.
580k, eaper than Enzo, 0-60mph in 2.8 second. That is really fast. S7 has 3 tiny little trunk. Acturally it's very very small, cant even fit in a laptop computer. This is the pix of trunk at the back. Other 2 at the front is way smaller than this one. So...useless lol.images/smilies/tease.gif
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/209371/20060622/b_150434.jpg
And they also starting to change the Ford GT, they said they will make Ford GT can go fast as the S7(I dont think so), and they have a GT is ready to change. They already paste the "Saleen" on it. Because they change Mustang to become Saleen Mustang very successfull, a Saleen Mustang have more than 500hp, and is cheap, 50k only, with convertible, much better than Mustang Cobra (that's what they said).
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/209371/20060622/b_145518.jpg
HAHAHA, not any different than the regular GT. Lets see after a few times what will they comes up with.

Kinda unusual of Saleen to start work on a vehicle that's gone out of production already.

Yeah, I don't get excited by them as well...
But I hate american "Performance cars"...except for the Ford GT...
The old Mustangs and Chargers etc. are fine, but when it comes to "performance/race" cars, I just can't take it...

Acturally the real car they test, 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds, not 2.8. but it still fast.
