500hp not enough? add twins

Im sure most of you guys know about the Saleen S7, the US's first full production mid engine exotic... The only street legal production car in the US with more than 500hp.

Well say goodbye to the the S7 as you know it. And say Holy &%$@ to the new Twin Turbo replacement. 7.0 liter V8, 750hp, 700lbft, 0-60 in 2.8s, 0-100 in a blistering 6 seconds flat, a quarter in a hair over 10. And its more than a horsepower improvement... it has a skidpad of 1.10g's... So make that the ONLY STREET LEGAL US production car with 750 twin turbocharged horsepower. And at $550,000 its half of the 1000hp gargantuan from overseas yet nearly equals it in performance. Saleen is also said to be offerning changes down the road in the boost department to kick you close to 990hp at the wheels... The REAR wheels only.. God help those Goodyears out back

AND Twin Turbo's on an engine with an 11.0:1 compression fed through twin 90mm mass air meters and carbon fiber intake plenums.

And for 550k I would expect better rims... But i guess if you can afford the car then you can afford aftermarket rims too

Those rims must be special, for example I wouldn't be surprised if they are made out of platinum, or have conveniant hidey holes for all your drug running needs. Who knows, for that much money those rims better not be attached to the car and stay in place because of magic. Gotta get your money's worth afterall.
