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.

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
isn't the car supposed to be able do theoretically drive upside down because of the extreme downforce? Yea, it's supposed to make enough downforce once it hits 160

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