Gee, I wonder what my thoughts would be IF I did have that much money?! The
looks and uniqueness of the vehicle would have to be first and foremost in
my mind. Performance would definitely become secondary. No matter how you
put it the S7 is a nice looking very unique car, not saying that the GTS/ACR
isn't or that a 650R isn't but when you get into those price ranges unless
you're a racer and all you're interested in is how fast you get around the
track, looks and uniqueness start playing a very important role.

Ron,
They did a test of it in either MT or C&D. They got perf. numbers. The price
liste dthere was now raised to $395,000. The specs are in NO way impressive
for a $400,000 car.... It barely beats a stock GTS/ACR..... And has no
chance against a 650R in handling or power.......And you could buy 2 650Rs
and still have 100k to buy a bone stock RT/10 and Dak R/T.....
Ridiculous..........
