I just registered as a user so i will fix my profile and put a pic of it on there

Ive had this car doing 212 on freeway 35 w and i must bow to it for this car is a god. and i know this because i normally ride bikes my baby is a 05 yamaha r1 with nos and this car would give it a run for its money if not whip its butt.

I read somewhere that the car has so much downforce at some freaking ridiculous speed (don't remember the exact figure) that it would be able to drive up-side down!!! is that not insane

And the badass thing, is that the S7 gets just about all of its downforce from ground effects, which produces less aerodynamic drag than spoilers/wings, etc.

This car definitely makes you proud to be an American!

I have heard a few in person. I must say that the first time I saw one one the street, I was shocked. I was in a subway getting a sandwich, and I hear this loud rumble. I look to the street and there is a Saleen S7 getting on it. I must say that thing is LOUD, I could hear it fine in the store. A few months later I heard one at idle on the street. They sound absolutely MEAN!!!! It has a lopey, loud, race car sound. I have heard cammed LS1's that don't sound that mean.
