In the case of a '32 Ford, that's hot rodding. IMHO, you can't really compare hot rodding with modern car customizing. Two different ballparks. Today you can just hop online, order any part you need, and get it in your mail tomorrow. Back then, it required a lot more skill and effort to hot rod a car... You couldn't

From a purist standpoint, no, it wouldn't be the same car. Adding to what already exists in the car is customization. Replacing it entirely is more than that. If you were to take a Honda Civic, and put a Honda S2000 drivetrain in it, it wouldn't actually be a Civic... as a Civic is a FWD economy car.

I guess what it

I'm not being a hater. I'm simply pointing out the fact that that car is so extensively modified, that it should not be called a Saleen S7 anymore. It is nothing like a Saleen S7 other than it's outward appearance. It's a completely different car. The chassis was redesigned. It was converted to AWD. It's engine was

Just because it legally must be registered as a Saleen S7, doesn't mean it is one... All that means is that the car started life as an S7. VINs are directly attached to a chassis. The VIN is also tied to the make & model of the car. Therefor, for legal registration reasons, the car's make & model, paperwork-wise,

The things which define the car have been irrevocably changed. The suspension geometry has undoubtedly been changed quite a bit to accommodate the AWD. The engine isn't original. The transmission is not stock.

And who cares that it has the original body work, and tube frame chassis... A RUF has the same body work and

Hennessey modifies people's cars into Hennessey models all the time... Does Hennessey have all of the various companies permission to do so? I'm highly doubting it. Being as they just recently did a Hennessey version of the Ferrari 458 Italia, and I'm damn sure that Ferrari didn't give them permission to do so, being

While the horsepower figure is impressive... That's not a Saleen S7 anymore. The S7 never came from Saleen with AWD, which means that there has been extensive modifications done to the chassis of that S7, and the engine is likely not the one that originally was in that car.

After a quick Google search, I found this

No. That's what Land Rovers are for.

That's an awesome little engine, I've been familiar with it for a while now... It's just a damn shame that John Hartley sold the design, and thus, the Hartley H1V8 is no longer in production.

Well, thank you for the acknowledgement the concise nature of my post. And yes, TV is utterly ridiculous these days. 'Tis why I don't watch much TV anymore.

A side benefit of my post, since you knew that already, is that maybe some other people who don't know that will now know that.

You've been watching too much "Law & Order, Castle, and CSI"... News Flash: They're TV shows... THEY MAKE SHIT UP.

If a video is filmed in 320p (normal, old school TV resolution) then there is virtually nothing that can be done to gain further facial details. It's not like old camera film. You can't just make it bigger

But they still can't do engine sounds for shit.

I think you're nuts. "herpa derpa"... Pah! Rubbish! Probably just another Corvette hater, hatin' on it for whatever reason you can find because it's a Corvette.

The Koreans also aped the looks of the S-Type's sister, the X-Type...

The 2002 Hyundai Sonata:

I concur... This is a slick looking ride...

Might be a v10 Diesel Touareg... And from what I gather, those things are torque monsters.

Looks to me like two separate tug of wars... Watch it again, closely.

I would imagine to protect timing equipment...

Here's my thought, take it or leave it:

The centrifugal force of the wheels is only part of what keeps a bike upright. A person's sense of balance also plays a role. But as some here have noted, a person is not required for a bike to remain upright whilst moving (ghost riding).
