MC12 Corsa vs Saleen S7 TT Competition

Venom 1000 · Aug 12, 2007, 1:49 PM

Once again, we have 2 cars that are designed to do one thing very well: go fast around a track.

Which do you think would be faster overall on a circuit?

MC12 Corsa

Layout: Midengine, rwd
Motor: 6 L, 48 valve, V12
Power: 755hp
Weight: 2646lbs

Saleen S7 TT Competition

Layout: midengine, rwd
Motor: 7 L, 16 valve, V8
Power: 1000hp
Weight: 2950lbs

i dont know what the handling is like on the saleen so im going with the mc12

Venom 1000 · Aug 12, 2007, 2:21 PM

I'm gonna put my vote on the Saleen. I think the standard TT version already beats the MC12, so in Competition form, it would probably still win.

other than one being a full race car and the other a street car i will go with the street car.......

its annoying when doing comps, sometimes you can find some really amazing large pics for one car then the other car you carnt find any decent sized pics apart from a few shity ones.

Joe Prote, you do know that they are both street legal, in case you didn't know.

I will take the MC12 without a doubt in my mind. That car is just amazing and looks simply gorgeous. From the front to the back it is all out racecar, but the best part is, you can drive it on down to your grocery store with an engine that will scare the living crap out of people. This car is awesome on the track judging from its domination in FIA. While I have big respect for the true American Supercar, and it doesn't look nor perform to shabby either. Only thing I would do is probably paint the MC12 a different color, say black or silver.

The S7TT would beat an Enzo, the Competition version would stomp the Corsa. It corners as good or better and makes more power for the straits. The S7 makes tons of down force with a spoiler so I can only imagine what it makes with one. The Corsa is a great car but the S7 is just faster

wait, the Mc12 isn't road legal, like the FFX, and the S7 comp is a package you buy, like a tuner upgrade

But me, i'd want that MC12 corsa, i mean to say you own one, and then to drive one very very fast on a track, thats somthing. The MC12 is a huge success in FIA GT1, so to own a car so similiar, thats cool

I thought they were both track only

civic_VTI · Aug 12, 2007, 3:04 PM

the mc12 is road legal!

sonicadg · Aug 12, 2007, 3:07 PM

^^^nop, its track only

The triton brand plans to build just a dozen examples on a "build to order" basis, and doesn't expect to go through the certification process to for either racing or road use, meaning that Corsa owners will essentially be limited to trackday outings, clandestine late-night runs

civic_VTI · Aug 12, 2007, 3:08 PM

my bad i thought i was road legal because the normal one is

clutch · Aug 12, 2007, 3:14 PM

You know what, I did some research about the legality of the Corsa and I found out that yes, in fact it is only for the track. But if you look at the Edo Competition MC12 Corsa which is basically the exact same car, and it is street legal, so I am confused.

JoeProte83 · Aug 12, 2007, 3:19 PM

As far as i know the MC12 Corsa is the same as the FXX. Used for private track use and exhibitions. How can be that car road legal?

"Maserati has taken the wraps of its $1.7 million supercar, a new track-only version of the World Championship-winning Maserati MC12 called the Corsa and which will only be sold to valued Maserati customers who will be restricted to using their new supercar on private track days."

I read in a magazine called Sports Car International that the Competition versions of the S7 are not street legal. Problem solved. Both cars are track only.
