Where is the Saleen S7?

The S7 never seems to get compared against the big name cars, and it should be. I love the looks of those cars, maybe this is crazy, but they kind of remind me of a shark. I wonder why the 599 instead of the Enzo? I'm impressed at how well the 911 keeps up considering the large displacement disadvantage.

Steve Saleen won't allow any official independent comparisons to be done between the s7 and any other car, is why.

Yeah, some of the manufacturers cars are definately less than top end.

911 instead of Carrara GT?
599 instead of Enzo or 430?

I have to admire the W configuration engineering. 8, 12, or 16 pistons fitted into a remarkably efficient cube shape. The valvetrain has to be insane, though. 8 camshafts and 4 or 5 valves per cy. Its amazing they don't have valve related failures more often.

The Veyron has 10 radiators too. 3 for the engine, 1 for each turbo, 2 for the transmission, and 1 for the hydraulics.

Which magazine did a comparo similar to this except it was a standing mile or mile and a half with the Enzo and Porsche GT against a similar lineup, all versus the Veyron?

Is is true Saleen put out a twin turbo version of the S7? Im only asking that because its in Project Gotham Racing on my 360

And that game is all about real life super cars, no modding or anything.
