    S7 without a fcking doubt. It's up there with the Zonda and F40 for me.
    I would say Enzo also but it's on a lower bracket than the Zonda and F40.

    You think the Callaway is gorgeous? I must disagree. Saleen all the way!

    Damn the lines on the S7 are sexy I just had to post again. Also the interior is so soft to the touch I could use it as a bed. It's up there as one of three of my favorite cars ever.

    I don't say this often. But I would take the S7 over the Enzo. It's sexier and just as fast.

    S7 100% of the way. The C12 just looks like a vette with a bodykit. Which it basically is.

    I'd take the S7 over the C12 anyday.

    S7 > all

    Looks like they're going Twin turbo for 2005. 750hp and 700lb-ft of tq. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

    This is by far the best looking vehicle sold today. Pics and specs below. I especially like it in this red'ish color.

    Spent a few days with the new TT S7 and can say its an absolutely beautiful machine but its absolutely not tractable whatsoever - in an everyday driver sense at least-- extremely low clearance, the passanger seat has room for a midget with no right leg, I don't remember a trunk, etc.. Great track car I'm sure..

    Definitely the S7, the C12 doesn't look that good, and its really not all that fast.

    Those pictures of the S7 are great, do you have any more? Thanks.

    Can you tell us any more about your experience with the S7? I'd really like to hear what its like to drive, as there is very little info out there about the S7, and in particular the TT S7.

    It's not what you'd want in a daily driver, that's for sure. I was just reading that article in the link i posted earlier. The S7 TT is only 41.0" tall/high...wow. By comparison, the The Enzo's height comes in at 45.2". Is their a lower car in production?

    S7 without even a glance at the Corvette. The Vette is nice and all that, but at the end of the day it is still a Corvette. The S7 however, that a rolling work of art. A very FAST rolling work of art as well.

    And the Twin Turbo's make it all that much more enticing.

    The movie is boring but man does the S7 sound nice. You can't help but to have a smile on your face when you hear that.

    For those above who would rather have an S7 over an Enzo...........you need your heads examined.

    I love the S7's long, mid-engined proportions. If one could be had in the high 200's-mid 300's in a few years I would consider getting it...

    so true dan...finally a voice of reason....a top of the line, exotic ferrari 12 vs an american v8...the s7 does look cool buts it not an enzo!!!!i see an interesting poll question coming up...i havent drivem either car but i doubt the s6 would have the enzos steering feel, engine sound , etc...

    The Callaway's always look like they are just an afterthought in design. I have not seen a good design from them since the c4 days.

    Callaway-wise, more a fan of the Sledgehammer or ZR-1 TT Speedster. Re: S7 TT, time for a paid professional to have a gander at my dome, from the sounds of it.
