Corn-fed car sex: Saleen S5S Raptor

[davenpcm]

Didn't see any postings for this and I have a massive hard on for anything Saleen so I figured I'd spread the love.

The concept carries the name S5S Raptor and it features a mid-mounted supercharged 5.0L V8 engine that can burn either petrol or 85% ethanol blended fuels. This engine develops a massive 650hp and 630 lb-ft of torque. The sprint to 60mph takes just 3.2 seconds and top speed is an estimated 200mph.

As this image reveals, the new concept is just as aggressive as the current mid-engined S7 supercar but it will be priced much lower than the $600,000 flagship if it were to enter production. If given the green light, Saleen claims the car could be in showrooms within two years with a price tag of $185,000

I have begun selling myself on the streets immediately to save up macanudos for this.
It's gonna be a long haul.

Badass. Saleen Foci though, do leave something to be desired.

Clearly you are missing out.

On the whole I do agree though. What the fuck happened to cars of the 03/04 S/C Cobra caliber?

Wait I just reminded myself: WHY DID WE NOT GET THE COSWORTH ESCORT?!!?!
Damnit.
