[twinturbo3150]

The Saleen S7 is a wild ride. Is the engine a twin turbo 427 with 550 hp?

 

[twinturbo3150]

7.0 Liter, Twin-Turbocharged, all-aluminum, 750 bhp V8, and this is for the 2005 S7 Model, I heard the 06 will have 1,000 hp but not sure,

 

[Need1]

I wonder how drivable the Saleen S7 is... I wonder how much maintience would be? Where would you take it to get serviced? I heard it also is so low to the ground, you can't even drive it around town on streets because it won't clear speed bumps... Track only? Man, if I had the money i'd buy one, but to me it seems like it would only be a garage queen or track monster...

 

[twinturbo3150]

I actuall watched a episode of the saleen being built from scratch, and when it it built, steve saleen personality takes it out for a test drive. The one he was driving he would hit a button and the hole car would rise just like the enzo, so speed bumps were no problem, and to prove how versitile it is, saleen went through Mickey dees drive though and orderd a value meal with a coke. It was a pretty kewl show.

Ward puts about 500-1000 miles a month on his S7.

that is trick

I wonder about maintience though... Where would you take it? Especially if you lived out of Southern CA where the Saleen factory is... And do you think it costs more or less to maintain than a Ferrari? Its so hard to find the answers to these questions about this car, i've tried google but like nothing exists, I couldn't even find a Saleen S7 club, or anything like that.

 

[twinturbo3150]

Im sure there are authorized saleen dealers, who have onsite saleen tech's in cally. I have no clue to what the maintance is. But Im certain it is VERY spendy. I think the reasoning for no Saleen S7 club's is because you would probably be able to take all the Saleen S7 owners and put them in the palm of your hand. I have a 1999 Hummer H1 and just had the brakes done and it cost me 1500 dollars,

I suppose you could have guessed it by the cars I collect.

I bet you'd buy up all the Vipers in Dakota so that you can claim you own them all!

Not harder than driving and Enzo but on the same level. Mahattan Motorcars services them and one guy drove his all the way from Florida to get it services. Even drove it through the city. A funny site indeed to see a car like that in NYC since it is so wild and low. A few other dealers in CA service them but there are only a few since only a handful sell them. I only know of two dealers to tell you the truth. Manhattan Motorcars & Fox Valley Motorcars.

Jaguar XJ220 enough said. I hear that they actually have new ones undelivered in England, sitting and waiting at the Jag factory. Original cost over $1,000,000. I am sure that they would love to make a deal on one.

[SandViper]

had a line on a wrecked ENZO for $250k. I was $249k short, but still,, buy them wrecked and then repair yourself, really stretches the budget.

Must have been the one that Actor crashed when the movie Redline came out!
