hell yea the VeilSide Fortune kit! i first (like many i imagine) saw this since it's what Han drove in F&F Tokyo Drift... when middle school me saw that in 2006 i thought it was one of the coolest looking cars, all this time later i think it's still a great looking kit! it also helped that Han was like the coolest character in the entire franchise lol

@LH1 Saleen S7! my old bedroom has had a picture of that on the wall since maybe 2004

it's got the big wing on the back too so i'd guess it may be the twin turbo version... gotta say i never liked that wing, the rest of the car is so beautifully balanced and then they just went down to autozone and bought like the first one they saw

also what a beautiful blue XJ220 right behind it, and all the way in the back an NSX?

Yup!

If I remember correctly the S7 was on the cover of Car & Driver around 2004 or so. I was like "Wtf is that thing!" Super beautiful car.

i'm pretty sure it's one of the all time piles of junk but one of the coolest looking cars ever!! even amongst the usual ferrari/lambo type of car collections the S7 could always be a great centerpiece

rob spaghetti once had one in the rental fleet for gotham dream cars, i'll let him explain how disappointing it was to have lol

@LH1 Ford GT90, which i'm kind of glad didn't actually go into production lol... the Ford GT that eventually went on sale is one of the all time greats and looks better too

Correct again! For some reason the GT90 has been popping up in my YouTube feed lately. For a 1995 designed car I think it looks great.

A couple guys visited this dude in Oklahoma that has an insane Ford collection. I guess he has the only GT90 that exists?

the S7-R i think actually had a decently successful racing career in the ALMS and GT1 categories, which i have a feeling was always a goal from the start of the S7 project... i've learned over the years that behind many of the coolest cars is someone's desire to go racing with them lol

judging from rob's commentary it sounds like it did fast driving really well but sucked at just being "a car"

Yea I think it looks awesome too! It has a Lamborghini Countach type of styling. It looks like it's from the 80's (to me) but it's a 1995.
