2003 Saleen S7
I've always loved this S7. The proportions and styling are just perfection. And how about that startup and rev.

Here's a cool walk around video. There's lots of photos of this car, but not a ton of video content. I've always heard that the ride is atrocious. Very stiff. Virtually no legroom. But I agree on the design and performance. The S7 is definitely puts the super in supercar.
It also had some pretty wild aerodynamics for its time. The body, underbody, and massive rear diffuser were designed to generate serious downforce without relying on active aero. Saleen claimed it could actually generate more downforce than the car weighed at high speed.
And with a 550hp, 7.0 liter V8 pushing around a 2,750-pound car, it had a pretty ridiculous power-to-weight ratio for the early 2000s.

Always known for modifying mustangs this was their first try at a full car. Not a supercar guy but they did ok I think,

Never a huge fan of Saleen Mustangs but this is pretty cool.

I liked the movie until it went from funny to sentimental. Reminds me of Wedding Crashers that was fantastic for about 3/4 of the movie and then got too serious.
