Yeah, the S7 is looking pretty dated with all the vents and scoops & whatnot. Mallock did the preliminary R&D on that car many years ago, so it is dated. Steve Saleen inspired the basic look with the vents, however.
I worked with the S7 crew on the wheel technical specifications- it took almost 18 months to close that deal- and became friendly with several of the guys there during the process. Most of the original S7 assembly crew have moved on or been laid off- Saleen has been in and out of finanicial dire straights for a decade. I know enough about that car and how it's built to NOT want one...
They finally built a blue one... or perhaps repainted a silver one blue. Looks good!
