Yeah, that was me. I'm going to burn them all as fuel for my power station. Ironic, isn't it?

Saleen announced a new model, S5S - Raptor, will show it's face on the New York International Show. Looks amazing. 0-100km/h in 3.2s from a 5.0l supercharged engine, producing 650HP and 630lb torque. Impressive.

It looks great, but some parts of it remind me of other cars. I can see a bit of Audi R8, Mitsubishi Eclipse and Evo X in there...

The rear looks a little ugly. And I do see some R8 resemblance in it.

:shock: WOW. I personally haven't liked most new cars (the "futuristic" look is too novelty-esque and doesn't look as good, in my opinion... best looking cars were made before 2005) but Saleen pulled it off well. That car looks sweet. Now, if it's got the HP to back it up, it's awesome.

hmmm, the front DOES look like the OLD NSX, but way more futuristic.

I didn't know there was going to be a 2nd Generation NSX!

Any pics!?

Note the use of 'THE', not a...

okay, no new NSX...

I was so excited for a sec...

Oh, and I never said it was a NSX either. I said that it looked like a NSX, and, on a completely different point, I was wondering if there was going to be a new NSX.

so there

Ahem, more like SSC Ultimate Aero 8/T Killer... The Veyron isn't the fastest Production Car any more.

I like Porsches, but I do not like what they did to this one. :-& And 0-60 in 4.2? I know an electric car that can go faster than that. :wink:

SSC Aero is capable of 257mph, this GT9 can only go 254mph which is just a tick above the Veyron...

You try getting traction with one in gears 1-3 and see if you can beat 4.2 seconds. It's RWD, ya'know?
