A Ride In A Saleen S7r!!!!!

[gtsr515]

SPEEDYSTANG, Yes it is very low, and hums beautifully at 40MPH, that's music to my ears, you must remember that the S7R is a purpose-built racing car, it doesn't have the sound deadening material found in the more streetable S7. It is a loud ***** 7.0 427 big block, not a rev happy V12 or V8 like in Ferrari's, and speaking of loud at 40mph, drive a Testarrossa!, Oh! man is that sucker loud, but beautiful, I drove one of the many white ones used on Miami Vice years ago, signed by Don Johnson, cool huh? The reason it doesn't drive like a Ferrari is because in comparison even the top street Ferrari (550 Marinello?, I'm low on Ferrari knowledge right now)) could never compete with the S7R on a race track, it's brakes would fade and fluid boil to a dangerous level, it's tires would melt, and the chassis over time would be destroyed. I doubt an F40 could compete. I have driven one of those, the early ones with the string door handle release, and at high speed, say 150 and up, the F40 was skitterish, needed more down force for the rear tires, the S7R felt more refined and stable, now I didn't drive it, but I'm a pretty good judge of these things being with Skippy.

See ya
