[s-cars] Denver Car Show

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

I just went to the Denver Auto Show last night and I had a couple of
comments.  First of all seeing a Saleen S7 was a true highlight.  This car
seems so well conceived and thought out.  I mean the engine is nothing more
than a Ford big block, not all that wildly tuned either.  The lines of the
car are incredible, really put the Ferraris and Lambos to shame that were at
the show, in my opinion.  Secondly there was a little car there that was
called a Noble.  I am probably behind the times and everybody probably
already knows about it, but in case you don't it's a two seater with a twin
turbo 360 HP Duratec V-6 from Roush.  The thing goes 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and
does a 1/4 mile in 11.8.  In the States you have to buy a rolling chassis
and get the engine put in separately so it can be registered as a kit car so
it doesn't have to pass emissions.  The whole package is about 85k turnkey.
Really interesting car.  Link for more info:
