Got back from Lost Wages....didn't make enough to SC the Dak but enough to
pay for the trip and an extra G for my effort. Course, now I'm
sleep-deprived. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Anyway, before I dozed off yesterday, I was
perusing my mail and thumbing through the most recent Pop Sci mag when up
pops this street-legal supercar. Now this car looks like it belongs on the
track. It's got the stance of a Viper...maybe even a little lower, 41
inches to be exact. Then I read further. The car is a concept car built by
Mr. Saleen, builder of highly modified Stangs. Well, he built this one from
the ground up, right here in Irvine. It has a midship V8 running 550 hp at
6,400 rpm. Top speed is 200+. 0-60 in under 4 seconds. The car is
slightly longer than 15 ft. Space frame chassis with all carbon fiber body
panels. Rear view mirror has been replaced by video screen and a camera
mounted at the rear. There is storage space, both front and back, but not
big enough to hold a set of golf clubs. Steve's going to build 100 of these
a year, but better start saving now....the cost is $375,000.00. It's called
an S7. The production run will be four years starting next spring. Hmmmm,
I guess I'm gonna have to go back to Vegas to get the money for this one!
