Impressive figures, too bad it doesn't look like a "hot" supercar... hmmm :?

I'll take a CGT over that anyday :wink:

Instead of quoting numbers, wouldn't it be better to link the review??

There you have it... the heart of the beast is what many folks are running in their C5 Z06's... and pretty soon C6 Z's... ;)

Turns out pushrods are not the tool of the devil after all ... ;)

^^^ well i am surprised that you didn't bash this RC45 ;) But i put up numbers only b/c most people run their mouths about what is the fastest supercar blah blah. So this is more or less here for furture debates. :D

And Nthfinity can back me up on this that this is the slower version of the TT-S7 the guy at NAIAS confirmed the 1000+hp version.

Why would I bash a decent car? ;)

Fast car ? yeah, but I don't like it and never will, and besides all its a twin turbo, bah, NA anyday...

Its pretty good bargain when you consider its price compared to the Bugatti veyron, and thats its top speed its almost just as good. Im not really a fan, but I gotta respect it.

It's amazing what an intercooler or two and some more boost will do. I like this thing, though it is a little busy-looking.

the 0-60mph figure in the first post is actually slightly slower than the original S7's numbers from some magazine (which was 3.3 seconds). taking into account different drivers, conditions, etc... the times are roughly the same, so is it fair to assume the new power of the S7 is pretty useless in that lower speed ranges?

60mph is not where races are won and lost.

boooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiii innnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg

Is that the most expensive American car or what?

naw, your just a fan boy looser :wink:

my fuck its easy to get you yanks all pissy :lol:

Mission accomplished lol

Procced the circle jerk :wink:
