These news were released in summer this year but at that time the car wasn't tested. I don't see the point making street cars soo powerful, where are you going to go 400 km/h??! Not even on the empty highway.

I think that car-producers/manufacturers should make these powerful cars (Veyron, Saleen...) and keep them in museums, to remind them how 'good' they are...

It's all about prestige. These super sports cars gives the manufacturers time to play with their money and strengthen their image. Just the same the USA is using NASA as an organisation where money can be wasted on prestige.

What

The Saleen looks way hotter and sportier than the Veyron. What the hell are you talking about.
Why does it need AWD?

Soul? Haha ha! What do you know about soul? You're from Greece, there is no soul in Greece. AMERICA is where its at, and now, AMERICA will have the best performing car, and that's how it should be.

This car is amazing.

Ha, you answered 3 times and they were all worthless. Good job.

Naah man. The Vayron is way hotter both inside and out. Don't make me fill this thread with gorgeous pictures of the Veyron.

BTW does anyone know anything about how the S7 handles? Is it just one of those straight-line-only performers?

bum-man

The Saleen is as light as a Zonda, so I would assume it could hold its own at handling against other top supercars. But it just looks so damn ugly, they really need to do somthing about the really long rear overhang and the rear end in general.

The Saleen in garbage in my P.O. It's American, can't get any worse than that

Yep thats about as bad is it gets.. like i said before, it looks like a sandwich..
Ohh and i think its a very very hard thing to get into the supercar buisness and to be real player.. and get respect..
We have seen alot of them trying.. like koenigsegg.. saleen...weismann..morgan..tvr..and many more.. they just dont make it...you need something very speciall.. and obviously its hard to put your finger on what that thing really is... cause we dont lack Hp´s or design in many of these cars..
but its still something thats missing.. maybe its passion.. or maybe its the magic..who knows..

It appears I'm going to get flamed for this, but I rather don't care.

I like the Saleen. I think it's a better looking car than the Veyron. And I LOVE the fact that it takes Saleen half the cylinders and half the turbos to come up with the same horsepower. Wasn't it Jeremy Clarkson who said the Americans wasted engine power (in regards to the 8.3 liter Viper)? If so, I think we just proved him wrong (don't get me wrong, I love Clarkson and Top Gear).

I'd take the Saleen over the Veyron. I like the sleek look, the all-American power, the fact that it doesn't take all-wheel-drive to rip off a 2.9. It's more basic, more hardcore, and pays homage to American cars of the past. It's wide, it's low, it's rear-wheel-drive, and it's got a V8. I read in a review of the Bugatti that the only thing that the original founder would recognize on the car would be the grille.

So there, flame if you must.

i think comparin these two cars is like compare cl600 to m6, veyron as have been said million times already, is a luxury oriented missile, and this saleen is more sporty consider its weight and rwd. and i also wonder how long that v8 will last. cuz if you are talkin about 1000hp, tuned supra's reached there already, but the engine wont last long. i have a feelin that this saleen is just like those supras, highly tuned engine that has low engine life-span.
