You should have used the word "stock" in front of the word Porsche.

I'd take an S7 over just about any car out there. There is a guy in my neighborhood that drives his daily. It's a very pretty car!

Pretty is not the word that comes to my mind. The ones I saw at the Concourse Italiano show reminded me of a woman with way too much make up.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Wasn't Saleen the company that needed a large cash infusion a few years ago, as they were going bankrupt ? You might be buying the next (albeit expensive) DeLorean.

In some gumball footage I once saw there was this guy talking big about his S7, he was saying how its faster then any other car in the gumball, faster then the ferraris, lambos, porsches etc... Then 1/2 through the rally they find that same guy with his S7 at a gas station with steam pouring out the back and a huge pool of oil under the car. Whoops, guess it couldnt make a cross-country trip.

**** talking aside though, you gotta give credit to a small company like saleen to build such a monster of a car.

I think I prefer my Noble for about 25% of the cost. I notice there was no mention of a Noble on the shirt.....

the Noble is sick a car. is there a way to order a Noble without that huge wing? I've never seen one without, but damn it would be so much sexier that way.

Yes, you can order it without the wing, but it won't be as sticky on the road above 100 mph without it.

It is also removable......

Saleens are fast and proven on the track to be worthy. It is very raw and not refined as a street machine. It's also very expensive. Someone buying it will most likely use it on the track at least as much as on the street.

In everyway, it's a serious contender and alternative to F, L and P cars in terms of refinement. In terms of performance, S7 will probly take on any F1, Enzo, CGT and fit right in.

I think the styling is outdated a little and I never liked it to begin with.
