It's like a Hellcat that can take a turn.

So many people forget that a Hellcat is a Mercedes (old) S-class underneath...

So it's a grossly heavy car with skinny wheels and tires.

So how does a Hellcat do on a road course? About as good as a SRT8 Challenger/Charger. The Hellcat is a straight line car which I'm sure this Saleen will be too but can take the turns better because its weight is a tad more appropriate than the Hellcat.

Still don't get this whole 275 rear tire thing with cars pushing over 700 horses.....

Not sure about the quality of Saleen's recent offerings, but their financials are sure sucking wind:

cash - $95 thousand
current assets - $673 thousand
current liabilities - $7 million
quarterly revenues - $536 thousand
quarterly net loss - $2.44 million

Doesn't exactly look like the balance sheet of a successful car manufacturing company.
