I just had a good run in with a C6 LS2 convertible...
Came up on me fast at 75mph. I pulled over, he mashed it as did I...It was dead even up to 140....He had a chick with him in the passenger's seat...
Best of all, he had the license plate NH "BATMBLE"

S7 = POS
Biggest POS to ever get a Ford motor.
Went to Gotham to borrow the car for our show, Bikini Driving School. The car overheated in 2 minutes...it's in our season finale show on our website.
It is the smallest car (interior wise) I've ever been in next to a Formula Ford. Anything over 5'7" and 160lbs and you're going to need a crowbar and a jar of Vaseline.
Despite it's sexy lines, it is still a kit car with a Ford powerplant and bad cooling. If it was $50,000 instead of $500,000, I'd still take an M3 over that vile pile.

I read a brutally honest test about the twin turbo S7 in a German publicaiton...
The car wouldn't put out advertised power (kept going into limp mode) and the downforce caused the underbody to smash into the ground around 170 mph, so it was not driveable to top speed.
It really is a rough-around-the-edges kit car.
