SilverCash Saleen S7 In Popular Mechanics (pics)
 

A few months ago I took the S7 to the track to go head to head with a bunch of cars in a Popular Mechanics Magazine test. The magazine just came out a few weeks ago and here is the online version of it.

S7 took everyone :)

Big B

What a POS Mike:winkwink:

My bad someday when there isn't so much work I'll take you up on that Until I can reach your status I'm a slave to tne grind...lol

Nice Mike ;)

At $52,720, the Z06 is more than $20,000 less expensive than anything else here. It's the least costly way to gain entrance to this exclusive club. And while you're at it, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that your Vette trips the clocks with the same exact ET as the exotic Lamborghini,

nice :thumbsup

damned impressive machinery:thumbsup

Nice!!

:thumbsup

bitchin' ride!!

#1 Saleen S7 Competition
If you have the dollars--and we mean $447,048 of them--then you can dominate anything else on the road. Anything. The Saleen S7 is essentially a race car legalized for the street. It looks like it just won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it sounds like a Nextel Cup Car and it accelerates like nothing else bound by gravity. Behind you sits a 7.0-liter V8 packing 550 hp and 560 ft.-lb. of torque that is based on Ford's NASCAR V8. Unlike a Cup Car, the engine in the S7 is mated to a 6-speed transaxle. And though the S7 is long and wide, it's lighter than a Honda Civic. It's also lighter than any other car in this test by roughly 400 pounds, thanks to its space-frame chassis and carbon-fiber body. But getting the most from this raw machine requires some mighty skilled hands and feet. The cockpit is tight and so is the pedal placement. The clutch is heavy and grabby. Place a foot wrong and your run is ruined. But get it all right and the S7 is brutally fast. In fact, it's undeniably the quickest car built in the U.S. of A. And it may well be the quickest car in the world. The Saleen S7 is our winner.


:thumbsup

I am exceedingly jealous of you man.. great fucking car. :)

If I haven't said so before, I love that car! Goddam. Congrats Mike, #1 :)

One note.. the track was VERY VERY green. We were running on stock tires and into a slight head wind. The numbers were much lower then expected.
