I emailed this page to one of the engineers from Saleen, and this was his comment:

"The "ford 90 degree v8" is entirely incorrect. The cylinder spacing is borrowed from a ford, but the block weighs 14lbs lighter than the lightest ford v8 of 7L displacement."

"Mallock took scale models of the S7 to Scotland and the University of Glasgow's wind tunnel to work on underbody aerodynamics, operating on the theory that what goes on underneath is more important than what goes on up top." " He insists the S7's sculpted undertray helps generate downforce equal to the car's weight of 2750 pounds at 160 mph. That means it could run across a ceiling at that speed. Fortunately for him, no insurance company will underwrite a car magazine willing to test that assertion." " -C&D (10/00)""
