it seems shorter than previous models....wasn't it the same car that has 3 seats, with the driver in the middle?.......beside the typical ferraris and Lambos, the Saleen remains one of the sexier exotics outthere.....maybe it's discontinued. haven't heard any updates on this legend

I'd rather focus and research vehicles that are attainable to me now or within the next 5 years or less.
Cars like these to me are like museum pieces. Even if you have the means to own one, you're never going to take a vehicle like this on a road trip or a trip to the grocery store. To take advantage of such a car you'd need an air strip or go to the salt flats.

I'm a sucker for German sports cars like 911s, anything AMG & BMW 3 series (335i & better) ..vehicles that can be driven daily.

I know a car wholesaler who had a Gallardo for a few weeks before he sold it. He told me that people at every stop light would have their cell phones out taking pictures, people on the highway would drive dangerously close to get a look at the car/who's driving it. At any parking lot you had to park at the opposite end not to mention the expense of a $15,000 clutch.
