Thanks for the post.

But did anyone notice that the article says "the S7 Twin Turbo supercar" at the bottom.

The Saleen s7 is naturally aspirated.

Jay, the S7 now comes in a twin turbo variety, for those who don't think 575hp in the stock car is fast enough. The new S7 Twin Turbo was unveiled at the Los Angeles auto show in January. With the twin turbos, it now puts out 750 hp, and 700 lb ft of torque, The Saleen website hasn't been updates yet, but look back soon. And this is the only S7, as the normally aspirated is no longer in production. Just wanted to let you know

0-60 in 4.5...??

That's a pretty poor showing for a 500 hp Saleen S281E. I would've expected more like 4.0 seconds flat.

Estimated........ I could estimate it could go 0-60 in 3.3, but that doesn't make it true either. I think it can probably do better than that.

Thanks I didnt realize that. Just did a web search and found it, looks pretty cool cant wait to see a TT s7 tested.



Does anyone have a closeup photo of the supercharger drive on the 2005 s281E supercharger? Id like to see how the belt is run as you cant see it in any of the photos.

Have you even read the article on the new design of these screw-type super chargers? If not, I suggest you do so. It may answer your question. If you have and you are still looking for the belt, PM me and I'll help you out.

The whole unit is self-contained. Its nestled right on top of the maniforld. I guess that if you wanted to see a belt(?) you would have to disassemble the blower.

I still do not understand. The unit does not run itself, so it must be connected to the accessory drive somehow, right? Are you saying the pulley isn't exposed as in previous models?
