0-100 8.2 sec
 
t0pspeed 220 est 
 
hp 550
 
price~ 375,000
-------------
Gt40 
 
0-60 3.5
 
0-100 9.3 (not sure correct me if im wrong)
 
topspeed 205 achieved
 
hp 550
 
price 139,990

Kinda depends on what your looking for. Even though they both have similar performance, the Saleen seems to be more practical, im really impressed with how well its interior looks. Besides the two cars are gonna be inherently similar anyhow, Saleen makes both of them, and Saleen had a hand in designing the GT too.

Angry unfair

first this is very unfair comparision: gt is 150,00 dollars when sallen at least costs twice as much. saleen weighs about 2950 lbs while gt is 3468 lb. nwt time make a compro that makes sense.

actually it does matter and if price does't matter than it would be ok to compare viper with enzo and Mclaren F1. price is the measure that gives u hint of the companys abilility to spend on the project. if u want to compare s7 then do it with ferrari m series. gt weighs more and so power to weight ratio is totally unfair. as for new f430 it is in the samr ballpark as gt and is intentionally aimed at gt because 360 fell short.

I'd take the S7, but I agree.. this isnt a fair comparison.
