lol sebba just got pwned

 

hahaha, at least it was a good one... thats sweet though!

 

What in the ****?

I said the Saleen S7 has nothing to do with Ford... and it doesnt. There is ZERO Ford components in the car.

I was stating a fact, no need to be a ***** about it.

 

yes they do!!!
they use ford blocks and headsbut from that point on they use their own components.
they buy the ford blanks and the machine them in house.

and for a fact... that saleen in the background
uses a stadard 5.4L 3V with some beefed up internals , Saleen spec ECU calibration and a blower
and thats as far as the drivetrain.

Thank you. That motor has nothing to do with Ford. I had this discussion with someone already.

Dont be a *****, usually i dont state a fact unless im 100% sure, and on the off chance that im wrong, i will step down and admit it. RIght now your just proving to everyone how much of a ****** you are.

 

tru dat

 

Lets give the guy a little credit at least. The interior has 'ford' aspects to it, such as the air vents that look like they came off of a ****ing V6 mustang. The brakes are awesome, bu they squeel like a raped pig. Hmmm...

I was actually defending Ford by saying the motor had nothing to do with them. Im not a Ford lover, i dont need to butt love Ford, i just like the facts. I was always told that the original n/a Saleen S7 had a Ford 'inspired' engine, but that was as close as it got.

Yes, i understand Saleen like to take Fords already existing models and **** with them, but thats not the case here. They cut corners on the 'unimportant' parts and cut down to the *****. In a way i kind of like it, but for that much money? I think a little more attention to detail was in order.

Example, a Lotus. It has those same ****ing ugly *** vents in it. However, the car is also a 10th the price. Now that i can understand, and live with. Not to mention the brakes dont sound like nails on a chalk board.

Now, please quit being a vagina.
