I must admit, the Saleen S7 has always been held pretty high in my book in reguard to supercar standings, and today when I went to SVAG. I finally got the chance of my dreams as a non-licensed 15 year old kid. Getting to sit in the super cars of my dreams. First being the Saleen S7, then Murcielago, then Gallardo. The seat time in the Saleen however crushed my dreams. First of all I had to contort my body into a pretzel to get myself inside. After that it was all down hill, to having my feet too big to only touch one pedal at a time, to my feet not being able to even get on the pedals without taking my sandals off. Lastly I made a complete fool of myself trying to get out. Sigh. Then the Murcie felt like a luxobarge with plenty of room. The Gallardo being even larger than the aforementioned.

I guess I'll be stuck in a Lambo, and no Saleen for me. :'(

For all intensive purposes, the S7 IS a race car, for the street. When you purchase one, Saleen flies you out to the factory, you stay at the Ritz-Carlton, and they bring you in to fit you for the seat, and pedal setup. The seat is fixed for ONLY the driver. As for Lamborghini, I've been in a Murcie around a racetrack (riding), and its impressive, but you can feel that it weighs alot. After that ride, I went in the Gallardo. Now that is a fun car to ride around a track. Very zippy, light on its feet, and very tossable. You can feel the weight difference between it and its big brother. Lamborghinis are nice, but for less money, give me a Ford GT, use some change to do a pcm reflash with a new tune, an exhaust, and new Whipple,and I'll dust both the italian cars.

I have two brands I am very loyal to:

1. Ford - I love the Stang (especially the Fox chassis's), they have the best trucks IMHO, I really like what the company does for a lot of charities, and I personally have always had a positive experience with their vehicles. I certainly bleed blue.

2. Subaru - I know this company is kind of the opposite but I love my Subie's too. Absolutely bulletproof vehicles through and through. I love the ability to drive a sporty car all year round with the AWD, and the their WRC history is extremely impressing. Plus I like how they are smaller than most automotive companies.

My plan is to buy a WRX for the winter and then start looking for a 1989 LX notchback when I can for the summer.

I know all that was posted above, but the seat was right up against the firewall, so I see no place to which they could move the seat giving more leg room. "/

On the other subject on brand loyalty, as you all know, I don't own a car and therefore I am not really in a position to claim loyalty, I'm not even really sure where that outburst came from (?)

But anyway, when I'm rich and famous I figure I could just make Arin weld me up a new footwell.

"Future9er24: yeah sure petey, whatever you say"


^see?

A boy can dream..

But anyway, the turbo is able to pull a 2.8 second 0-60, what does the Veyron run?
I'd still take the Saleen S7 over any of the other supercars on the market. More beautiful than anything, and the seats are very comfortable unlike the Murci whose were not nearly as comfortable.

i think about 2.9
