"The Saleen S7 is the fastest production car in the world"
Fastest production car in the world? I believe this is wrong, the bugattiveyron has a proven top speed of 353mph (electronically limited). Should this be changed?
no it should not be changed because the Saleen S7R only tops a speed of 250. Also they were already saying that the S7 Twin Turbo was hitting speeds of 260.The Bugatti should be placed the worlds fastest car because if it beating the McLaren F1 and for that fact it would be placed 3rd on the list. SALEEN S7 550hp0–60 mph 4.8 sec0-100 mph 10.1 secstanding quarter mile 11.7 sec
SALEEN S7 Twin Turbo 750hp 0-60 mph 3.8 sec0-100 mph 7.9 sec0-200 mph 32 secQuarter mile 18.5 secTop speed 241 mph
SALEEN S7R Twin Turbo Competition Package 1,000hp Well you get the point --
I can't find solid answers for two questions regarding this car and was hoping someone else would know.

http://www.rmlmallock.co.uk/RMLTimeline.htmThe official timeline for the S7 can be found in that link.
On RML's website, they clamed full credit for the development of S7.-Baboo
RML provided most of the engineering team as Saleen did not have a sufficiently large engineering staff to design the entire vehicle at the time.
There should be some distinction made of the current turbo model and the first Saleen S7. A little history on the car would be great.

The article seems to give 2 different times - 3.3 and 2.8, elsewhere I have seen 2.7 claimed for this car. Have any of these been independently tested and the time verified? To be honest I think the sub 3 second claims are highly dubious as there are several cars around with similar power, weight and grip, none of which manage sub 3 second 0-60 sprints. We need to find an independent test with digital equipment and then aim to remove the inconsistencies. --LiamE04:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
2.8 is the manufacturer's claimed time for the twin-turbo.
yeah, the 0-60 time is wrong as are all the rest. It differs with the year of the model, but from what I have seen it goes 0-60 in 2.8. There is proof herehttp://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/saleen_s7.asp and herehttp://www.supercars.net/cars/3090.html and herehttp://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=car.php&carnum=967
A section needs to be added that differentiates the performance statistics for each of the different versions of the vehicle.
The S7 supposedally has enough downforce that it can drive on the ceiling of a windtunnel. Would this be (if it is true) worthy of trivia?TVRJomar23:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is an official claim by the manufacturer but it hasn't been proven analytically as of yet. Perhaps we could note that the manufacturer claims it has enough downforce to drive upside down in the trivia section?webwookie
I think this article desperately needs to be rewritten to meet Wikipedia's standards. I am currently gathering information for a possible rewrite; I currently have specifications and anearly completed infobox (for both the S7 and S7 TT.)
Any opinions, contributions, or comments?

I have inserted the re-written article. It is not fully completed, but is a good start to further this article. —Mr Grim Reaper(talk •contribs •email),19:52, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The wide spacing should be corrected, as it makes the page difficult to read.Dragon 28012:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Should the this article be split into separate articles for the S7 Twin-Turbo and the S7R? —Mr Grim Reaper(talk •contribs •email),00:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I will remove the trivia section, once more. Please do not add it back, as non of the information is of any significance, while other information is already included in the main articles. If someone insists on adding a trivia section, please write it as a proper article and not as a list. —Mr Grim Reaper(talk •contribs •email),18:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Removed piece:
Also, this is a part of numberous articles, why are you going against the grain and why should we listen to you again?Klichka20:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Trivia lists are common on wikipedia, and most of those are somewhat relevant to the car.76.25.115.9905:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can the Saleen S7 be considered as a limited production car? —Mr Grim Reaper(talk •contribs •email),19:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The lede says this cr wa s"designed and initially built in the UK by Automotive and Motorsport engineering company Ray Mallock Ltd.[" the infobox claim some other random fake news.Greglocock (talk)05:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not fake. The designer put in the infobox is correct.U1quattro TALK14:17, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The disagreement I have is with this sentence: "It was the first fully proprietary car produced by Saleen and became America's sixth mid-engine production sports car coming after the Pontiac Fiero, Consulier GTP, Mosler Raptor, Vector W8, and M12."
If we include ultra-limited production cars like the Mosler and Vector, then we must also include street-legal production homologation specials. As part of the Ford GT40 race program, a street-legal version of the GT40 race car was produced and sold in limited volume. Although there is disagreement over the naming used, it was either the GT40 MKI or MKIII. See the attached references:
https://www.supercars.net/blog/1966-ford-gt40-mark-iii/
This car was produced by an American car company, and is a mid-engine, street-legal car. As such, the sentence above needs altered to include reference to it- or it could be edited to remove it entirely, as it's unnecessary for the purposes of discussing the Saleen S7.
