Fresh car, but it's not the fastest anymore... Kinda far behind...

1.) Bugatti Veyron, 253mph+, 1000hp
2.) Koenigsegg CCR 248mph+, 950hp
3.) Saleen S7 243mph, ???hp...

As you can see, it's very close in the top speed, but it more that only the CCR and the S7 are raceable, becuase they're light... But the Veyron and the CCR both keep running out of room to top out, oh, and the Veyron has a limiter, as the tires shred and explode at speed...

[civic_guy]

Actually Saleen has a 1000hp package now...it was originally 750 hp. The new 1000 hp version is called the "Saleen Competition S7"

I think it's the best lookin exotic around (other than the Murcielago) the Veyron is just plain BLECH. The CCR is alright...

[V8lover411]

Xmodracer1 you live in new york right they have a saleen dealer out there in long island

[Stampedekid]

yeah i think theres one here on LI, im not exactly sure. no asphalt urban gt doesnt count cause ive played as the saleen s7 on it. the graphics are bad, it was my first ds game...lets not get off topic

[V8lover411]

im not sure if they only sell saleen's i saw a couple bentlys and ferrari's also

[Stampedekid]

i know theres a ferrari dealer over by where McCarville Ford was, also theres a ferrari dealer someplace in Nassau County

[V8lover411]

theres a bently dealer over there to thats where me and my pops were lookin at one

[r/cdrifter7]

yeah i saw one in florida when i was visiting someone. it is a tight car and one of my favorits.

[mustanglover]

i live in florida if you go to the north of flordia they have some nice cars up in that part of florida!

Well, no. You're opinion is wrong. It's not an exotic. Exotic is imports, from somewere else. The Saleen is American, so it's domestic, and thus, can't be exotic....

I like the CCX more than the CCR, but both look fresh.. Lambo's are just too played out, everyone has one, seen to much, not that special anymore... The Farriri's are cool, but the same with the Enzo, they're too common, but less common...

They veyron is ugly. Looks kinda like a turtle... The Saleen is too long for my tastes.

[civic_guy]

Well when I mean Exotic I'm referring to a car I'll probly never be able to afford. lol. I know it isn't an import but it's really not a car...it's a freakin rocket ship!! Imo the only Lambo that's played out is the gallardo I've seen so many of those in Houston it makes me sick... I think the pics make it look longer than it really is though. Anyways it's a freakin awesome car and I'd sport it any day of the week! :D

^ I was gonna say that! ^ lol Iove the S7

[civic_guy]

I just ordered a Blue Saleen S7 body on ebay that'll fit on an Xmod...just because of this thread....thanks a lot guys. :p


im jk...it's not the threads fault. I really did order one though. :D

[Sweed]

The proper application of this term is subjective...

Okay. Let's drop the discussion.

[ferrarip4.5]

ok you people are really outdated, at least one of you.

ok the s7 have a new version called the s7 TT, which makes 1000hp.
the koenigseg ccx and ccxr are faster than the original ccr.

and one thing to mention about the ccxr, its got 200 horses more than the ccx, so if geared right it can pretty much be just as fast as the veyron, if not faster.

and the tires dont explode cause veyron uses run-flat tires.

and sweed, ccr doesnt have 950hp, it has 806hp.

[streetballerzz3]

i know theres a ferrari dealer over by where McCarville Ford was, also theres a ferrari dealer someplace in Nassau County

yupp i live in nassau nd there is an autosports dealer with the saleen s7

[V8lover411]

yeah thats where i remeber seeing one i live in elmont

Idiots. gonna try to tell a Sweed about Swedish cars...

The CCR makes around 806, I've seen it more than that.. It was the CCX that makese 950hp+...

The Veyron has the same problem as alot of cars. The tires EXPAND at such high speeds, and some have 'exploded', aka shreded at speed. That's why the top speed limiter is there...

The CCR and the CCX can both take the Veyron, if they have tall gearing, and enough room... The CCR ran out of room during testing, and didn't top out...

The CCX spun out on the TopGear test, becuase of the rear end being so light at speed..

Heh, I find this funny, because you were just trying to tell Americans about American cars.

The Saleen is an American car? (Crosses it of list...)

I know it's american, but still. Fair game.

Nah, I'm kidding, it's more a thing were it's like YOU (an American) are trying to tell ME (as Sweed) about a car you have NEVER seen, while both of us have seen a Sallen?

Heh, I get you, I was just razzing you. Actually I have never seen either of them with my own two eyes. Just mainly on Top Gear.

[civic_guy]

You guys have never seen a Saleen?? I see em all the time at car shows. Never seen one on the road though....when I do I hope my camera is with me. :D

Nope, I have never seen a Saleen, at least not an S7, I see Saleen Mustangs all of the time though. Actually though, I have never been to a real car show either, so that might factor in.

[Stampedekid]

hey have any of u guys been to Baldhill Carshow here on LI? They have ricers, muscle cars, some drag cars, and some exotics especially Ford GT's. i swear i have seen at least 6 at one of the shows..only 1or2 Saleen S7's..same for Ferrari's. But if you like many mustangs and other awsome cars...then try to go to this carshow, i think the shows start up in a few weeks...im not sure :) So if your on LI try to go to one of these.

[ferrarip4.5]

they fitted a wing on the ccx and tested it again and it was fine.

[Stampedekid]

i live in florida if you go to the north of flordia they have some nice cars up in that part of florida!
the cars there are nice, i saw a couple of exotics when i was visitin florida a few weeks ago

[coolcar24th]

There is a dealer in N.c. that sells exotics. I remember seeing a saleen ther. They also had several Ferraris and Lambos.

cool do you know what dealer it is? i would like to know.

[civic_guy]

Usually an exotic car dealership will have them. Like here in houston, Lamborginhi of Houston has Saleen S7s and they alway bring a S7 to the Houston Auto show.
