Steve Saleen's Saleen S7 is a totally bespoke, hand built superduper hypercar that in twin-turbo, 750 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque form could go about 250 mph. And it was capable of generating enough downforce to (theoretically) drive upside down. In competition, the S7R has been one of the most dominant vehicles ever fielded, having been "raced in over 264 events, with 218 Top Tens, 166 Podiums, 105 Wins, 86 Poles, 78 Fastest Laps and 9 GT Championships."

Wooden wheels for the guy who doesn't have everything Dan Roth

Porrera: Beetle-based faux 911 2 years ago on Autoblog

I like Bugs. I like Porsches. Not together. Taking a historical bent, you could draw a line from the Porsche 911 back to the Volkswagen Beetle without it having too many kinks and corners in it. The flip side of that relationship is that while there are some similarities in the broad-strokes sense, ...

Car Costume: Audi 90 Quattro becomes Audi 90 IMSA GTO 2 years ago on Autoblog

eBay Find of the Day: General Zee Camaro not even John Schneider could love 2 years ago on Autoblog

Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land! Some things are just unnatural, and should never be attempted. Does the paint job give this car any pop-culture cred via osmosis?
