Wow. You are a moron. Have you ever heard of a thing called downforce, the resulting aero drag, or maybe something about how much power it takes for a few more mph at speeds like that?

I've heard of all those things and it still does not change my opinion,though your dedication to Saleen can be admired...I guess.

I'm not really that dedicated to Saleen. But if you can't understand that the S7 isn't a top speed queen, and the downforce required for it to maintain its purpose, track monster, stifles its top speed, then you're stupid. Fact.

The standard road legal S7TT (750 bhp) is probably only capable of 230 mph. At Road and Tracks standing mile event, it recorded 224 mph and was still accelerating.

Road and Tack ran the standing mile with the twin turbo version, and kept running after the mile was done, and got up to 224 before running out of airfield, and they didn't redline.

top speed is not important for this car at all. its a track car-"competition"
same reason F1 cars dont have high top speeds, its just not necessary

The S7TT (750hp) has a estimated top speed of 248 mph and "Car and Diver" estimated the S7 (550hp) at 223 mph.

250mph eh?
Well its got 1000bhp,a skyline with 1000bhp will hit 230mph easily enough,but wont really go any faster.
This thing is slippier than a skyline,so should go a bit faster.
The downforce from the wings is what will be limiting its top speed.
