There's a Saleen S7 TT that's about $550k. I think regular Saleen S7's are like $380k.

*yawn*
I don't think the driver knew what he was doing...
Or that car is just slow. Gorgeous car, but if I am going to spend that much on a car, it better be running like 10.0 atleast stock!

Yeah but, someone that owns a car like that can afford to have that car and a few other's in that price range along with a few houses.

S7 is an amazing vehicle, but supercars do not belong at the dragstrip. god forbid you miss a gear or drive it conservatively (to try and avoid putting $650k into the wall). now every redneck at the track and benchracer on the net thinks their pos is greater than all
