    0-150 in 12.x seconds.

    In the newest Road & Track. Yes, I can see this brutalizing any "supercar" that has every been produced. BTW, Radicals are not supercars (and hell, it's probably faster than all but one or two models of the radical lineup to 150mph). :)

    They're 20 years late, though.

    Nowadays, supercars are like the Enzo, the Zonda, upcoming Veyron ... or 10y/o McLaren. They have to be ridiculously fast, but people expect these cars to be nice for cruising around, with slick gear changes, soft clutch, "good" visibility ...

    The S7 doesn't do all of that. It would have been cool back in F40 days ...

    I think the S7TT did it in 12.1(can't remember from the R&T article)...plus of course the S7TT would absolutely brutalize a McLaren 'in da twisties'.

    The Yellowbird did 0-150 in 16.9 and thats for a car made in 1986. Not bad.

    Not only is it VERY fast up to 150 it can not be touched on a road course. But you uys are right, its not really a "street" car... though i have heard of a few poeple driving them on the street. actually someone was daily driving one for a while

    but why do you need 0 - 150 in 12.x seconds? unless your on a track, where do you use it?

    While the S7TT is roughly as fast as the Mclaren F1 to 150, it is 5 seconds faster than the F1 to 200 MPH!!!!
