    Hi guys,

    I was wondering if anyone knew what the car on the gilette 3 turbo challenge advertisements is?

    I can't place it. It looks kinda like a gt40/enzo/f50/zonda cross. :)

    I gotta say - the s7 looks a lot nicer in red and on the tv than it does in any net pics I've seen of it so far. :)

    Agreed, it looks nicer in red. But in general, I think its a horrible car for the $$$

    I think it's a pretty sweet car. It's one of the only cars that comes to my head if someone mentions a American "supercar" Performance and styling wise. It is a little pricey though. But not compared to a car that is somewhere close to it's league like a Enzo or something. Although I guess a Enzo is to big of a comparison for a S7.

    It looks good, but really. It is a ripoff of the XJ220.

    I never thought about it that way, but now that I do, I think you are right.

    Anybody know how these have been selling? And what used ones are changing hands at right now? Haven't seen a lot of these on the market?!

    I'm suprised that people are impressed with it. I thought it was good value at 375000 but I guess not as compared to the mosler supercar. Anyway I read that the Saleen could travel upside down in a tunnel at speeds beyond 160mph.

    In theory yes. It creates enough downforce.

    EDIT: I'm surprised that people aren't impressed with it. I wouldn't mind one myself

    Vik, I wld hazard a guess that fewer than 10-20 cars have been delivered so far, so I doubt they're "changing hands" just yet.

    I see one at Lambo Dallas, that is maroon, everytime I go there. It is always breaking down.
