HeavyRightFOOT Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I think the car (S7) is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurenai Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Originally posted by xj220 The Pagani Zonda is nice. I'd take the C12S over the C12 though. Overall, I'd take an S7. Although the S7, I think, is overstyled, it is still nice. Could it be considered a Ford? I don't think so. It uses a Ford engine, but that's about it. You wouldn't call a Panoz Esperante or a Qvale Mangusta a Ford, and they both share more than the engine with a Ford. And the McLaren F1's engine is a BMW, isn't it? You certainly wouldn't call the McLaren a BMW. That's my take on it at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPM boy Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I'd take the S7 solely because of the fact that I think the Zonda is putrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyRightFOOT Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I certainly wouldn't mind the S7 being a Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurenai Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I wouldn't either, but it isn't. I wish Ford would produce something like the S7 under it's on nameplate, but that unfortunately won't likely happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecca tt Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Well, the Saleen is 100% functional. Every little part has a job. Saleen did a damn good job of that. I in part think the car is *** FUGLY, but hey.. it is one hell of a performer. The Zonda dosen't stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xj220 Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 Ford will never produce a supercar. That job is left to Aston Martin (Project Vanquish) and Jaguar (XJ 220). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That job is left to Aston Martin (Project Vanquish) and Jaguar (XJ 220). Ok, the excuse of Ford not making a super car because it has Aston Martin and Jag isn’t really cutting it anymore. First off, if Ford did make one, I’m sure it would cost in the arena of Corvette. Not 100K+ like Aston Martin or a Jaguar. Of course, now there is the F-type slated for production. That could cause conflict, but that is about it. Only it because I don’t know how much or how Ford owns part of Mazda. Secondly, both Mazda and Jaguar are foreign car makers. I’m banking that if Ford made a supercar based on American taste it would sell better (as does the C5 to its competition.). Anyhoo, I mainly see Ford not doing it because they don’t need a symbol. The Mustang is Symbol enough for them. Just make high priced high performance variations and make money. While GM looses money on every C5 that they sell . Chrysler has the Viper because, prior to that. Everyone looked at them as a Mini-van maker. They needed an image badly, so the Viper saved the day with help of a good truck. The Ram that we all know today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecca tt Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 No, actually I have no hard proof. I do know that several reliable people have told me so. Including my tuner and Jason Ding among others who stick out in my mind. I also remember reading about it somewhere. Though it is the truth.

HeavyRightFOOT Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I've heard teh oppisite but no hard proof here iether. On the topic of the S7 again. I just went to the auto show and saw an orange S7. That car is fucking amazing. For me it rates in the top 5 beautiful cars ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
