I think the Ferrari would take it, I don't know why, I have nothing to back that up with.
S7 TT, more power, handling is about as good(after all, both came out of some form of racing)

Saleen - significantly more powerful, but not much heavier. Both awesome cornerers
(PS. Huge torque difference! )

750hp twin turbo on 2WD and even lighter? I don't think it'll win without at least a rear wing. Racing specs without racing aerodynamics=bad. And how is it gonna handle that enormous torque?

This is from UCP's own info:
One would presume they wouldn't make the car completely uncontrollable.For 2005, Saleen upped the ante with a twin turbocharged version of the S7. The dual ball bearing turbos increase the power to 750 bhp and torque is up to a stunning 950 Nm. To match the increased power, a modified six speed gearbox is fitted. Front and rear aerodynamics were modified, with changes including a new rear wing and altered diffusors.

Of course the S7TT isn't going to have as much downforce as the S7R, but then again it's not meant to have as much - it's a road car.
If you look at this picture compared to this picture, you can see the difference in the shape of both the wing and cruicially the diffuser. Now I'm not aerodynamicist, but I'm going to guess that you're going to get more downforce from the diffuser of the TT. The front of the TT has also been slightly changed. Of course, these modifcations aren't going to give it racing car downforce by any means, but every bit counts.

0-60 or 1/4 mile race the S7 TT should win but on a road course it depends on curviness of the track and length of the race, the Enzo just might outdo its burlier foe.Originally Posted by Gtek-i

The Ferrari Enzo, because it is a car that exists...
Thanks for all the fish
Eh? I don't get what you mean.

Wow! Is everyone here really lacking third grade common sense? First of all, the Enzo does not weigh 2766 lbs, it weighs 3009. Okay, so now we have a 3000 lb car with 660 hp, and a 2950 car with 750 hp. A 110 horsepower difference. Hmmm... which will win? That's a tough call. I am gonna have to say my Civic would take both of those.
BTW, C&D tested the Enzo @ 11.1 and the Saleen S7 ran a 10.9. There you go.
750-660 = 90, not 110
But anyway, I'm not arguing with you - I agree that the S7 would be faster in most settings.
(PS. I'd love to see some pics of your RX7)

Back to aerodynamics
looks can be deceving
u can hav a smaller wing with more downforce and less weight to a large wing with alot of weight on less downfroce
Chuck Norris
Seriously though, in a race you need HANDLING, not specs, so who here has evr drven either of these cars? see!
