What motor is in that? Chevy 350?:-D But seriously, that is simply amazing! Love that tubular framing. I need some carbon fiber pieces for my car...

But what's up with the gauges from a 1998 chrysler lol?

OMG! I just found my new "if only I had the money to buy one" favorite car. Bar none! That S7 is gorgeous, and a beast! Wow! Thanks for posting the video. I would have loved it even more if we were treated to some in car video out there on the street.

For me it's a tie between the tt s7 and the fgt for my favorite super car.

Have driven both.
Both are very amazing.
For comfort i'd def go for the FGT. The S7 is a VERY TIGHT FIT. There is a procedure to getting in and out of these cars. And even when in it, you can barely move at all.
And the passenger.....even worse....you will basically have your feet pointed to the left, and the floor boards are cut at an angle that points to the nose of the car.
Power wise....no question the S7....looks.....S7.....drivability and overall comfort.....FGT.

Customer was in town from out of state for the Concours d’Élégance show.
Went to fire up the car and it was completely dead. No Power at all.
A quick call to TPS and we sent a flatbed to pick it up.
Found battery completely dead, and fried alternator.
To change out the battery you must remove RR wheel. After a replacement was in, a test to the alt show voltage surges.
That's where it got difficult.
The tech basically has to make love to the engine in order to reach the alt in these cars.
We removed it, had it rebuilt, and re-installed.
Not too many placed you can take an S7 into and have repairs done on spot. lol
