Message	Many of you people don't have a clue. Do you honestly think a Z can compare to a $500K supercar in any way? You can make anything fast, but it still won't be a Saleen. You don't buy a car like that to get down the 1/4 mile the fastest. If we go by that theory, then $500K should get you a car that can do the 1/4 mile in 1.2 seconds. The Saleen was designed so that, if given the right conditions, the car could drive upsidedown. Spee's view on Pinnacle Souveran: "Next time, give me $70, I'll get you a decent wax and pull your balls through your left ear...same thing :-)"
