Re: XP4 Owner?
Peloton, some of the pics you have shared I havent seen, can you specifically make a post, or upload some pictures to a website for everyone to view?
My favourite car is the Longtail Orange GTR! "CIA 4" To see that car would be a amazing! Last edited by payso; 01-15-2006 at 12:58 PM. |

Re: XP4 Owner?
Erik: Noticed that a certain someone is still rather hard headed about the S7 vs. F1 on the Forza site. This may bolster your defense. He likes to quote magazine numbers a lot. (And seems to be a racer...) Well, let the record speak for themselves:
LeMans Qualifying (I took qualifying times since it's the time with the least amount of resistance from slower traffic and always the race times will be slower). 1995: McLaren GTR Best Time: 3'57"18 Ave speed: 206.425 kph (overall win) Best Time ever for Saleen S7R GTLM (2001): 3'52"849 Ave speed: 210.347 kph (finished 18th place) 2002 Saleen S7R: 3'58"833 Ave speed: 205.75 kph (finished 26th place) 1997: McLaren GTR (longtail) 3'45"402 Ave speed: 217.292 kph (1st in class, 2nd overall) An endurance race has always been used to prove a marques pedigree as well as establish one.

Re: XP4 Owner?
I actually became rather disinterested in the thread when all the "this car is better than that car" stuff started. If people want to state their opinions that's fine, but I find debating opinions is rather trite in these cases.
I have my own opinions of the S7 and they aren't necessarily favorable. If he wants to like the S7 more, that's his prerogative and I'm not going to expend any effort to change his mind. >8^) ER |

Re: XP4 Owner?
I have a friend with an S7. On backroad drives, the ground effects suck the car down so much that it grounds out over every bump and ripple. It's horrible to listen to all the scraping and graunching noises if you are following behind. It's a fast car, but it's far more single-purpose than the McLaren. Great illustration of what Saleen was thinking about when making his car (high performance) compared to what Gordon Murray focused on-- overall packaging.

Re: XP4 Owner?
Hello everyone.. The XP4 was in NY July of 2001. I was lucky enough to be there for the delivery and got a few rides in it. It was sweet! I have a few pics of it, but they are not on CD. I will try to get them over to Walgreens and get them on CD, and post them later.

You can also go to kinkos and scan them in if you don't have a scanner.
