That Saleen has got more gills than a school of mackeral and a bigger butt than J Lo!
What about some plastic surgery, like this:

I like it, i'll take two please...
much better than the original - in fact all you probably needed to do was cut down that rear end. Never been a fan of big rear ends!

Geoff,
Your cosmetic surgery has done wonders for the S7. Nice work.
A close friend of mine just came back from 3 days at SEMA in Las Vegas (you Brits must know what that is right?). He took lots o'photos of some
mid-engine vehicles in various states of undress.
I asked him to look specifically for mid-engine cars for me. What suprised me was his observation that mainly what was on the floor at SEMA were large
displacement longitudinal V8 middies. Almost no transverse, small displacement, lightweight cars.

Yeah, even though I live in the U.S., it's very sad they (Detroit) just can't grasp the idea of building something <3000lbs.
Oh sure there's a show car now and then showing they have the ability to do it, but why bother, they'll never make any.
That's another rant of mine that automakers show stuff "to guage consumer reaction." Whatever. Sad that of all the makers only
Chrysler is the only one to actually bring interesting stuff to the street from the shows. PT Cruiser and the Viper come to mind. Now if they could
just make a Viper GTS 2/3 scale they'd really have something. Alas it's always the "more is better" mentality. Have you ever
walked up to one of the new Ferrari's? They are small! Less is better when it comes to sports cars... Okay, ranting off...

Ironic, but in the UK a Ferrari is classed as a large car!
Porsches used to small cars, but are more middleweight these days due to the heavy reliance on US sales.

I come from the land of huge cars and SUV's and I personally can't stand them! Note that I said 'personally". I don't
mind that others drive them. To each their own. I drive a Jetta IV and even that weighs over 3,200Lbs. That's just ridiculous, it's a
pretty small car!

Kinda changed the topic din't we?
