2003 Saleen S7 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Enzo and McLaren competitor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the P-Zero's had molding faults and cracked.
General comments?
This car drinks a lot of fuel as expected,
so far I have managed an average of about 9.7mpg.
The car was imported throught a Lotus dealer, the car just was not delivered on time even though my order had be in for months.
Now for a change of tone.
The Connelly leather smells nice.
The very effective heat and air-conditioning systems surprised me, so did the noise of the power steering.
The brakes are great, but lack of anti-lock prevents stops from being shorter.
Overall it's a real work of art and driving it is a pure pleasure.
