Yeah "special" isn't the same as expensive. Yes a Veyron would be insane but just the annual upkeep is enough to buy that yellow 458. Let's keep it real...that Saleen would be more than enough to melt your brain.
I really wish someone would have built a road to test the downforce of this car. It is supposedly so aerodynamic that it produces enough downforce to drive upside down. Truly remarkable car
Why are there always veyron fanboys that talk like it's the best thing to ever happen to cars and all they can say is how it's the "fastest" I can't wait till SSC and the lizard car puts out Bugatti for good. BTW, S7 is one of my FAVORITES!! Awesome!
Well, with the Enzo coming in 2003 and the veyron in 2005. There wasn't much hope for America in this regard. Sweet car though.
No to mention the veyron accelerates quicker, and has a higher top speed..
The veyron used twin v8s because it weights about double this car so it needed double the engine.
Yeah the veyron really killed this car's attention. This is a lot more special than the veyron because they only need a v8 and 750 hp unlike bugatti. Also it's hand built and can actually turn
The car just does not stand out to me that much,just looks like your "classic" supercar
I agree, it kinda flew in under the radar. Still one of my favorites though
I meant to add to my comment that this car hardly had any attention it really deserved. Even the N/A S7 was hardly notices by alot of people
Yea even when I didn't care/know about cars back in '05 I knew about the mclaren f1, but not this. This car is a monster
Description: And because of the S7's mid-engine design, it also has two trunks, which are perfect to store the standard set of custom-fit luggage. Some other features include an LCD screen, rear-view camera, ...

It's an American engine. It'd be easy to work it if it broke down. It's a Ford 427. There are plenty of people who know how to work on them.
Luggage? Don't see these type of cars going on many road trips. Valet, parking garages, and room for only 1 girl. plus, try and get someone to service this thing if it breaks down.
Haha. Break in period. Either they are driven like they're supposed to or they're not.
That means those 1000 miles would have been abuse and no break in period for the engine
Darth Vader has a death star and laser shooting planes he does not need ground transportation what so ever lol xD
Description: The S7 also has an accomplished racing history, having participated in events such as the American Le Mans Series at Laguna Seca, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Grand American Road Racing Championship, ...

This is a bargain considering it's rarity. I remember seeing an S7 for sale in Vegas when it was new for $675,000!
Now that I consider the figures though, that is a steal for a car this fast! Although I stick by my original post. I would have a 458, aventador, or the MP4-12C before I'd consider this.
Ehh it's nice I guess. For that money though, it wouldn't be my first choice
Saleens have always been one of my favorite car companies, too bad they don't make them anymore
I like how you follow the lines with your eyes and you wonder "where does it end?!"
I don't know about anyone else, but I much prefer this to anything that SSC has built. It's just a shame that they never followed it up with the Raptor.
@Jack, that's what she said to me :P but seriously, this car is VERY long. It's ridiculous, but that's what makes it so sexy and unmistakeable
One of the best American made rush machine up to date, a master piece of torque and power!
The back is awkwardly long. But otherwise it's... Uh... Awesomely cool.
All supercars in this class are all long and wide. Great for any track really, but not for the urban track we all drive on.
Lamborghini is also in a completely different car class than this is. This is a hypercar unlike the Lamborghini which are more of supercars.
What a sweet ride! I just can't see paying that for anything but a house. Give me a $150k Ford GT any day.
The Stig, or want to play tag with the police. And kids, of course, will want exotic cars and can't afford them. Which is why they have to mature first and see that speed isn't the only quality you look for when buying a car.
@Jared: So what are you trying to say? That the statement makes it hard for Lambos and McLarens to sell? OK, but the fact is many rich people do buy those cars, and mostly it'll be because it looks cool and exotic. Not because they want to beat
@ Miftah according to your post about the Lexus IS-F yesterday, a mature adult would not buy this car because adults look at the interior first and top speed is second, even the last thought they have. I hope a "kid" can afford $449,000.
i only want the s7 its the only one in the pic worth the money... we don't make to many supercars here but the ones we do have are the best
It can turn, saleen does 24 hours le mans, laguna seca.....etc as mentioned on the article
@Andrew: Hmm. That does make sense. But still, they could make the pockets some lids so they won't fall.
Annnnnnd the American car bashing has begun. The saleen is not an archaic American car, it can take corners, and without cantilevering too. Something the Porsche can't accomplish.
Some companies don't use these doors because, believe it or not, customers complain about doors like this. They don't like how you can't keep anything in the door pockets without them falling out when you open them, or just the impracticality of them
This car would murder that carrera and sing at it's funeral with it's loud twin turbo, and exhaust lol
Why isn't these kind of doors used anymore? Ferraris or McLarens should be using them, goddamit.
It's technically a small block actually...
What is the s5s based on then?
I saw this on cars.com after I got carried away looking for my first car
You asked for Saleen and here it is. Ha ha.
