Cool Saleen S7

Has anyone had any experience or own one of these rare beasts?

Living in the OC, I have seen several. I have met Steve Saleen several times in person as well. Great guy.

But, as you might know, Saleen pretty much went out of business in 2009.

I went to the factory in 2006 and got to see 3 cars being assembled, was a great experience! I love the look and sound of these beasts!

I was lucky enough to see one. It was in the showroom Lamborghini of Miami. Would love to see one in the wild.

Check this one out. Caught in the wild and a unique color.

I believe this one is actually Steve Saleen's personal car.

They appear to be pretty well built in addition to being outlandishly fast. I'd love one but they seem just a bit too impractical to drive on the street.

It is their price that makes them undesireable.

If you had a cool million to spend on a car, would you buy an S7?

There are just too many better options in that price range.

Are they really that much?! I thought they were priced around Murci territory ($350-400K)...
