I agree - seeing it in a showroom/garage is one thing, but seeing it take up a lane (or two) on the road is a whole new sight to see.

I am kind of suprised that Condor, RufMD, Silversurfer, or et al don't have one in their stables.

The silver one looks so incredibly modern to this day (with the exception of the interior). The shape really reminds me of the Saleen S7.

It would still put a serious hurting on most supercars today in a 200mph drag race.

My old roommate's cousin used to have 2 of the S models. One was black and the other was a pewter color. Really really hairy cars to drive. Lots of lag, lots of boost and insane top-end. Lousy and piggish at anything under 110 mph and not a very good handling car, but when you laid into it around 90mph, the boost would hit like a sledgehammer and with a couple shifts it would easily get up near 200mph.

That orange 220S is insane, I've only seen the regular version on a few occasions; impressive car for sure.
