New American Supercar: Saleen S5S Raptor

Yep, I thought the same thing... It's actually a cross between a Gillardo and a F430... :hmm:





..... Nice looking car.

 

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

elvicsmilieys::drool:

I choaked on my coffee!!!!

I have markus :love:

 

yea thats right you going stright to hell!!!!

now get on my bed and strap youself in!!!!!!!
its gonna be a long ride!!! :aggressive::love:

 

its still a saturn!!!:nerd:

 

lol, youre just a tease.

 

I like it a lot...but not in yellow as much as in black or even silver with some dark ass tint. Good job on it. Wonder how small it is though.

 

front end screams Lotus, back ends says Gallardo

 

:sick:Looks like the sick love child between a Lambo & a Lotus, stamped with a Saturn badge. I like Lotus' and Lambo's but I don't really like this. To me it kind of looks like one of those Superformance or Factory 5 kit cars (not the Shelby Cobra kit, the C5 based kit).

 

Further proof that American car companies have run out of original names.

 

I would rather have this "American Supercar"....

 

Chevy ran out of original names and numbering back in 1997.

"ZR-1"?
"Blue Devil"?
Come on.
F-ing try.

 

You guys are crazy! You mean to tell me NOBODY likes that new Saleen? Whew! Tough crowd! I think that thing is BAD FUGGIN ASS!!!!
Chase

 

You could give me one.
I'd Ebay it and buy a Sledgehammer and whoop it's ass up and down, left, right, top end, insurance, etc.
:grin:

 

As opposed to the Charger or Challenger....Last time I checked, they were used once before too.

 

i said i loved it...:huglove:

 

Very true.
THIRTY YEARS AGO.
Plus, those names under that brand have an amazing history.

Raptor....not so much.

And the last time I checked, that new Corvette is the 3rd ZR-1.

 

So the corvette doesn't have an amazing history?? It's only been in production for 55 years.....guess that doesn't mean squat.

Hey...isn't that the second time Dodge used SRT-4....or how about the SRT-10 moniker.....

The name doesn't have to be original to make it good, does it?? Cause to me, that seems to be your whole argument...

Could be worse...anyone remember the thunderbird....bleeechhh

 

If they were all called the ZR-1, then it would mean squat.
Unfortunately, they all weren't.

I'm not sure this works into the discussion well. The SRT designations are sub-groups within models.
If you were to compare it to something Chevy did, the closest you would get would be the Z-series (Z-24, Z-34, Z-36, etc.). Cavalier, Beretta [yikes], Monte Carlo, Impala, etc.
What Chevy did NOT do was re-use the Z-xx on any of those models.
Except for the Corvette....which is now on it's 3rd tour using the ZR-1.

For a 6-figure car, a TINY bit of originality would have been nice.

Point.

 

And the ZR1 is just a variant of the Corvette....Just like the SRT is the variant of the viper/ram/charger..etc.

But, name aside, it is one bad-ass vehicle.......
