Even though the S7 maybe faster and more exclusive...I like the looks of the Murciélago alot better...

Lamborghini Murciélago hand down.

The S7 has been and still is a design rip off of the MacLaren F1. The first gen S7s couldn't even finish races because they kept blowing engines. Steve Saleen only knows how to tune cars, not build them.

Yes, the S7 is faster, but the Murcielago looks better and it is made by a more respectable manufacturer. And the Saleen has a V8, doesn't it? You gotta take that V12 over the S7's 8. But, as an American, I must say that it would be a tougher choice considering the Saleen is made right here in the States. But I would just have to pick the Bull.

As before mentioned the S7 has woeful reliablity- thats enough to make me go Murcielago- besides the Italian in me says I have to that way anyway:biggrin:


Provided the S7 never plays up neither is a bad choice

I've never even heard of the S7, so it's gotta be the Lambo.

Lets see here, close to $300,000 for Italian engineering or almost $400,000 for a Ford. The Murci of course.

lambo is not all it is cracked up to be. S7 is a race car for the street with a carbon fiber body and screaming 7.0. And how cool are those 4,000 fully functional vents!

#1 It's $275,000 not $400,000 #2 It's not a Ford!!!! IF you want Ford's SuperCar go look up the GT

I think the s7 more closely resembles this:

'98 Porsche 911 GT1 (LeMans winner):

than a McLaren F1 GTR (1995 winner):

Sure, there are things in common, but the S7 was meant to be one of the closest things to a racecar that you can drive on public roads.

Nah, still looks like an F1 to me. Also the F1 is the closest thing to a race car that you can drive on the street, the S7 wouldn't stand a chance. Then again I would say the GT3 or the Mosler have them both beat now that I think about it.

if you guys ever seen the le mans race back when the toyota gt one was racing, you would have thought the gt one would of won le mans, until they started having bad luck. the gt one was an overall faster car, it lapped faster than the porsche.

for this comparision i think id get the saleen.
