2006 Saleen S7 review from North America
"Useless + pointless + dangerous = fabulous"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
I work at an exotic auto dealership in south Florida, we received one of these babies early 2006. The car was shipped to our warehouse Orlando from the manufacturer in Irvine. We had the honor to pick it up. The thing was towed of course. But we always take every new car for a spin before selling call it "quality control".
This thing is scary!!
Power borders on the absurd!! The cabin is tiny, there is no space and no external visibility at all.
We manage to hit 150 in less time than it takes to right this sentence. It is good they don't sell many of these, they are saving peoples lives.
Racing a Porsche, a Corvette or a BMW is a waste of time. If you want the ultimate, buy one of these. You won't regret it.
