Nice, too bad it's not road-legal.
Despite what the article says, it's not legal for the road, I checked the Saleen website, no mention of it there. And I read an article on a road test of the 750bhp version that is legal, and Steve Saleen says the other's aren't availble for road usage. Oh well, it'll tear up pretty much anything on a track, period.

Nice car, The only problem I have with it is there are no available comparisons with any S7 excluding Lemans versions racing against other supercars.
I really want to see one take on either an enzo or CCX maybe even a Zonda. |

Awesome looking car, but as others have said, I prefer it without the spoiler. The performance specifications are shockingly amazing as well, seeing as the Saleen would probably even take down my dear Koenigsegg CCX. The rims are also very nice, and the car looks stunning in red.
Note: Welcome back zeyk! Im not sure how long you have been back for, but I just noticed now.

I like it , that is one of the best american ever made .
Nice one Saleen . Too bad it isn't road legal . I hope they put this in LeMans but I don't think they will approve it .

Wow, it looks great! I think that LM spoiler matches it. It'll probably kill any competition.....

I think it's a bit silly if you can't enter any races with it. Nobody would buy such an expensive car if they can only use it on a private track... Well, maybe a few.

dam that looks nice, I have loved the shape of the S7 since I first saw it (in a Gillette razor advert
 ) and the black rims add and evil edge to it. The spoiler is pretty nice aswell, shame about the non-road legality.

If I had the money, I'd buy it and drive it on a track. This thing is for serious speed/track freaks. It's very beautiful. The spoiler... eh, I could do without, but if it's gonna save my ass from getting my head crushed after a small "flight", I think I'll keep it.

If I was rich and lived close to a race track, and I raced there every weekend, I would definently consider buying this car.
