First of all, find a data chart that actually lists data. If every field is populated with “Not Available”, then you aren’t proving much, are you? 😉 1. [http://www.saleen.com/saleen\_s7\_performance.htm](http://www.saleen.com/saleen_s7_performance.htm) Some real data (relatively speaking). Note that the Saleen has a 0-60 of 2.8, compared to your callaways 3.9 🙂 I’d compare more than just the 0-60, but it seems the Calloway is so slow they are ashamed to post their numbers. We won’t even get into the fact that the cars you said the Calloway beat (Enzo, McLaren, etc) are all faster in the 0-60 than the Calloway you linked. All of their times are listed in the above Saleen link as well. I don’t know what is funnier, your ignorance, or inability to read a data sheet :shrug: _[RICK JAMES] COCAINE IS A TERRIBLE DRUG.
