    Hi Guys long time no see. I have been so busy moving my house.. I was amazed by the looks of the Saleen S7 on Sunday when I ran into it on the showroom at Newport European and decided to buy it, I haven't driven yet but the looks is enogh for me , I am sure the performance will be just fine.. so I made an offer and bought it.. can't wait to bring it to CC this Sat. if the wheather permits..

    anyways, I learned my lesson with the F40 crash so this time I am gonna ask you guys for all tips on this animal..I am thinking to have it delivered to Saleen and have them drive it and show me what this car is about... I hope it has traction control..lol

    any input is greatly appreciated... by the way is there a S7 driving club?
    cu all

    Congratulations Manny! Unbelievable collection you're starting. I love your thought process on this one. Maybe you can bring it to Haus on Thursday. I'll drive if you don't feel up to it yet. :)Happy and healthy motoring.

    BTW, I'm pretty sure that's not a turbo.

    Congratulations!!! That is one incredible machine :eek: It is by far one of the best looking cars I have ever seen and I'm sure you will never have a dull moment with it :) One thing of advice: good luck getting in and out!! I sat in one the other week and its the hardest car to get in and out of IMO.


    N/A S7.

    Congrats Manny! Weather should be nice Saturday! Didn't you just get an Aston Martin too? You are slowly catching up to Armen with your collection. Let's see some pix of the whole collection soon!

    wow! I posted the thread before lunch and came back there is so many replies, thank you all, I am so glad we all share the same excitement for cars.

    no this is not the Turbo edition, it is still 0-60 in 2.9 seconds it has 575 hp and 570 torch.. I don't know much about the car and yes I did set in it before I wrote the check!! it is tricky but similar to my F40 as far as getting in and out.

    what is cool is it has a rear camera and LCD to view when backing up.. and it sounds so loud too, yeah I will bring it to CC for sure, will call Armen to come with his new GT too if he can make it.

    thank you all again.

    cu soon
    p.s. Yeah I sitll have my Vanquish, I am also in the market for a Carrera GT and SLR if I Can get a deal on them...

    Actually I have but I forgot about that :eek: I also had to get into some F1 cars (real) and dragsters but for street legal cars the McLaren is the hardest and Saleen comes close in second!!


    Manny hopefully I will see you around this summer!! I'm still not 100% positive but I should be out in Southern California sometime this summer for vacation :)

    Holy **** Manny I didn't know you got a Vanquish too! Wow! I hope you get the Carrera GT soon, those are one of my favorite cars of all time.
    Side note, In your profile where it says wanted cars... "Bugatti" do you want an EB110, Veyron, or a vintage one? Just curious
