Thanks for posting pics!!! What was ya'lls overall impression of the fit and finish build quality of the S7 cars? Looks like a pretty nicely laid out tour of the vehicle

overall, i thought the process was really cool and it seems like they take great care in building their cars. my only concern is that the car is so exotic and so wicked fast, that i don't see any practical use of it, not even on weekends.

btw, the 1000hp version goes 0 to 60 in 2.2. that's insane.

If your too LAZY TO CLICK ON THE LINK HERE ARE PICS I POSTED ON THE OTHER THREAD....

Yesterday was the SALEEN tour that gductus997 organized for us socal 6speeders we had the pleasure to go inside saleena nd see how america's super car was built.

i twas amazing to findout the whole car was assembled and finished in saleen's factory in irvine, all the fab work was done by them also

When you arrive you are greated by the Saleen Logo



After evryone is signed up we were shuffled into a showroom/garage area where the s7's were displayed

One of our guides was Little Nicky hahah (adam sandler movie)


Tour


Look at the wicked cf intakes... yummy


When u look to your right this is waht you see


Saleen S7 assembly line



A couple of s7's were ready for delivery



Here's one that is halfway done



Then we were shuffled to the body area where u can see the car in its raw carbon fiber form
