Most expensive car produced in Western Hemisphere?

BTW - I wonder what the race car version of the S7 costs compared to the road car.

I don't know for sure but the MC12 race car costs $1.2mil... while the street MC12 costs around $800k. If that is any indication, I would guess the S7 race car costs around $800-900k. Just a guess.

Are you in the market for one? They cost quite a bit less used.

I already "have" six or seven Saleen race cars. As a matter of fact I keep them in a garage very similar to the one you keep yours in. But that's for the other forum.

I went to the Shelby factory in Nevada where they were reproducing the Cobra...I forgot the model designation...CSX---- something or other. Interesting stuff. They expected me to buy one too when I clearly told them I do not plan on buying one, it's just a tad pricey for my blood..
