American Beauty

[HungryForHertz]

Saleen S7TTC for me please.

[IanY]

True. Beautiful. But give me a Pagani Zonda S anyday.

[pissboy]

I'm so glad this wasn't a thread about some stupid high school kid taking a video of a plastic bag.

[Soulburner]

Good looking? Sure, about the front 50% of the car. From that point back, its ugly. The way the quarter panel bends around the rear tires and around the back just bugs me.

Beautiful? Not quite.

[trance565]

beautiful in my eyes, but soul is right, it needs to go straight down in the back, kina like the vettes, well, less exagerated like the vettes.

[Nanometer]

IMO, the only good looking American supper car.

lol go zonda!!!

[nn_step]

Strangely it just seems to remind me of these

[trance565]

im not sure a zonda could compete, especially with that "alien" look it has

[Nanometer]

Uh, you have a problem with aliens? lol

[comrad]

Looks crazy... (sorry about large images, to lazy to resize them...)

[HungryForHertz]

Ugh the profile shot of the Zonda is HIDEOUS. good GOD! MY EYES!

But seriously, the Saleen (S7 Twin Turbo) produces enough downforce to drive upside down at 160mph. Just for reference to show you how amazing that is, the FXX can only do that at 200mph. Astonishing.

My biggest love is the McLaren F1 but ugh, the S7TT blows me away.

[trance565]

lol, dont get me wrong, i like the zonda, the mirrors just piss me off being where they are positioned, and that downforce is the s7's down fall in top speed lol, although noone has been able to reach topspeed in one because noone has taken it to the salt flats lol.

[clayton]

Wow nice...

The Saleen S7 is in my opinion one of an extreme few American cars that could ever hold the "supercar" title. Now if we just had more car manufacturers like Steve Saleen maybe our auto industry would get a revival, but I doubt it.

[IanY]

The Zonda's ugly? OK. I guess to each his own.

What I like about the Zonda is its overall performance. It doesn't have a lot of horsepower, but its light and it handles like a charm (not that I would know because I haven't driven one fast.. yes I have driven one sedately.. as in boring speeds). The mirrors are still more effective than the original Testarossa. I remember lots of people ooo and aaa -ing about the high mounted mirrors when it first came out. Couldn't see squat.

Of course, I am partial to Mercedes engines.

The S7TTC (not in the pictures as I can't find one) is 1000bhp (and PLENTY left in boost apparently) and has an even more agressive aero kit meaning it could stick upside down at even slower speeds.
Also, the standard S7TT starts producing downforce at, wait for it THIRTY-FIVE miles an hour.
Anyway, lower the Drag Coefficient of the Saleen and I reckon it could go on to 260 odd... then pump the boost

There are shots where I find the Zonda be good looking.

Also I agree with your point on its overall abilities. It's why I love cars like the S65, RS4, Subaru Impreza STi and Misuibishi Evo. Because they are brilliant all round (apart from the pocket).

As for driving a Zonda. Bastard.

Sat in and heard a McLaren F1 though.

Mercedes engines? AMG :p I do love their engines. Apart from in F1 recently *cry*

[IanY]

Do you know what its like to sit beside a beautiful naked woman and yet not be able to at least fondle ? In my case, my eyes were also blindfolded hahaha... I tried to open it up just in second gear and the owner gave me a stern look hahaha rofl.. It was in Germany.

As for McLaren, the short time I was in an SLR, I almost went through the front windscreen. All I did was brake for a darn traffic light hahaha

I believe that AMG has nothing to do with the Formula One engines. I have the itch to trade up the new sedan now, thanks to you

This is when you open the car door and push him out of it, and floor it leaving a fat number 11 to take the car to the boat you arranged to take it to the US where it can be reregistered under your name legitimately?

[IanY]

Yeah. The GSG will be there at the boat dock with their H&K. I think you've been watching too many Bond films lately lol Im not Daniel Craig or Pierce Brosnan.. and another small problem.. the guy's built like the Arhn-nold

[NickS]

That thing's faster than a bat out of hell.

[HungryForHertz]

Then I'm disappointed :\

I'll have my Saleen in the burnt orange/bronze pictured^ I think or all black

if you could make the downforce 0 and upforce 0 then it could easily get 260 probably faster if you had the road to do it. the TT is at 6psi of boost, while the TTC i think is running at like 9 or 12 something like that with an intercooler. if you felt like it, you could see about forging the already awesome internals, and up the boost to like 20psi possibly 30 if you get new turbos, and you'de have 1500+whp.

also, the s7 comes in at a wonderful curbweight of 2950 lb, about 200 lb more than my acura integra, which has less than 1/5 the hp.

Ever seen a car fly? There is a reason we have downforce...
