MC12 Corsa vs Saleen S7 TT Competition - Page 3

S-Tune_S1 · Aug 13, 2007, 5:33 AM

based on the looks and spec , i think the the S7 would win in any track . its got more power + its TT .

S7TT · Aug 13, 2007, 5:33 AM

I chose the S7 because it's my name, it looks a lot better, and it's just American.

ps: Nationality has nothing to do with it. I just thought I'd throw that in there.

Also, it's in my avatar.

Having turbos doesn't make it better

When polls are this close, it has to be a good comparison

not generally , no , but on a car like the Saleen it does, because it gives that extra edge/rush when needed.

But power is power. A 1000hp turbo car would be no better than a 1000hp NA, assuming they have the same torque and everything.

S-Tune_S1 · Aug 15, 2007, 4:55 AM

its how it approaches the power.

in a 1000hp car with turbo, the max hp is acheived at a lower RPM compared to a NA car with 1000 which will have to rev a bit higher.

the mc12 corsa it might have less power , but i think how its based on a ferrari supercar it would handle better and would do a better since its a little lighter

i thought it was the other way around

1000bhp for a track machine is just too much.
755bhp is already enough. I'm going with the MC12 Corsa.

I can't say much from look. Both of them have the look.

Depending on the size of a turbo, the peak power can be achieved at low or high RPMs. I saw a Veilside Supra (F99) with over 1000hp and it developes that at very high rpms. Close to 8k actually.

I'd bet for the Corsa. Lightweightness means for a hell of a lot when you are on the track (so do a lot of things, like suspension, aerodynamics, loads of other things) but if you have a heavy car on the racetrack against a lighter one with similar torque levels, it will get bogged down and it will be out accelerated, so that's why I am going to go with the MC12; the stock version was already a beast and one of the fastest cars in the world, and this one is even faster.

Kind of difficult to choose between 2 extremely reliable and speedy sportscars, but I'll have the 'S7 TT Competition. The horsepower just gives it that huge advantage, 1000 horsepower is somewhat really huge, a 7 litre V12 engine goes well with it. Both cars look extremely bad-ass, but the front of that Maserati is really good looking.
