Default Saleen S7???

Why hasn't top gear tested the saleen S7. It is one of the best supercars in the world, on paper THE best (besides the bugatti veyron). So why then has the show that benchmarks the fastest cars not tested this one. On the show they've claimed the Ford G/T is the only american supercar, but frankly everything about the saleen s7 is american.

Just wondering what everyone thinks about this and the car
Sorry if this is a repost

Specs of saleen s7 vs other supercars:

I think its one of the nicest looking supercars as well

Lets all write angry letters, apparently the TG ppl read them.

They've tested cars that they dont get in britan before. i think that the S7 is ever so slighty more exiting than the honda element or the nissan cube
