Awesome find! I remember the first Acceleration Nation back in '99 which the Viper won. The Ford GT is just crazy quick for the money. Too bad they used a 911 Turbo as opposed to the 911 GT-2...

Saleen's are nice, but at a price of over $400,000, I'd rather get two Ford GT's! (or a Ford GT and a decent house!)

... And it may well be the quickest car in the world. The Saleen S7 is our winner.

Sonny,

The Saleen S7 is by no means the fastest car in the world - the Ferrari Enzo holds that crown: Road &Track Enzo Review.

The result by Road & Track is actually one of the higher times I've seen - other mags have gotten 10.9-10.8 in the 1/4.

What I was trying to say is that the Ford GT costs about 40% of the price of a Saleen S7 - the GT ran the 1/4 in 11.69 compared to the 11.51 of the Saleen. Is an extra $250,000 worth a 1/4 mile of just 0.18s faster?

-Chike

Ahhh..now I see! Sweden has a new super car prowling the streets...

It'll be interesting to see how the CC8S/CCR performs against the new Bugatti Veyron that packs 1001hp!

That car has a crazy amount of hp. Does anyone know if it's AWD or RWD? I guess it really doesn't matter though - whichever drivetrain it has, breaking the tires loose would be soooo easy!

986bhp (1001 DIN) would do that to a car!
