Paul Walker’s Saleen S7 Was Built To Outrun Ferraris, This One Spent Its Life Parked

Image
The S7 rocks a 7.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 with 550 hp. Despite this Saleen’s age, it’s been driven just 1,880 miles. The naturally-aspirated S7 has a claimed top speed of 220 mph. Built between 2000 and 2009, the Saleen S7 was one of the few mid-engined supercars to come out of America and actually make a dent in international motorsport, including the FIA GT Championship. Now one of those rare cars is up for sale, and it has a Hollywood pedigree to match its racing bloodline. The late Paul Walker once owned this 2003 Saleen S7. How long it stayed in his collection isn’t clear, and despite his well-documented love of driving, the odometer suggests he didn’t put many miles on it himself. The car shows just 1,880 miles (3,025 km) today, which is a remarkable figure for a 23-year-old American supercar.

Toyota and Lexus Don’t Have A Super Cruise Competitor, Is That A Mistake?

Image
Toyota and Lexus lack a proper competitor to Super Cruise and Blue Cruise. The companies offered a Teammate system, but seemingly abandoned it. Both brands now offer less advanced driver assistance systems than rivals. Autonomous driving technology is a key selling point for an increasing number of vehicles and subscriptions represent a goldmine of future revenue . However, one major automaker has largely been absent from the conversation. We’re talking about Toyota and Lexus, which have effectively waved the white flag. While the brands did offer a Teammate system on the Mirai and LS, the latter model is dead . Toyota also appears to have dropped Teammate from their hydrogen-powered sedan after the 2023 model year. Review: We Go Hands-Free In A 2022 Lexus LS 500h Prototype With Teammate This has left the brands without a proper rival to GM’s Super Cruise, Ford’s Blue Cruise, and Stellantis’ Hands-Free Acti...

Cops Couldn’t Catch The Sur-Ron Riders, So Colorado Is Asking Residents To Help

Image
Residents can anonymously report unsafe riding activity to Parker Police. Police say electric motorcycles follow the same laws as regular motorcycles. The system is meant to target illegal riding on streets, trails, and parks. Police departments across the U.S. are struggling to figure out what to do with the explosion of electric motorcycles, Sur-Rons, dirt bikes, and high-powered e-bikes flooding suburban streets and trails. Now, one Colorado town is taking a new approach. It’s asking residents to report riders directly to police through an anonymous online portal. The Parker Police Department in south Denver recently launched its “E-Bike, Dirt Bike, & E-Motorcycle Safety Reporting” tool , allowing residents to submit locations, rider descriptions, and details about allegedly unsafe behavior. The form includes options like “stunt riding,” “unsafe lane changes,” “running stop signs,...

He Drove His Camaro 370 Miles In 2 Months And Made Enough To Buy A New Mustang

Image
Camaro owner potentially made $36k flipping ZL1 bought weeks earlier. He registered the unused MY24 coupe in March and sold it with 370 miles. Rumored Camaro revival is renewing interest in the badge axed in late ’23. Turns out the smartest Camaro investment strategy wasn’t modifying one, restoring a barn-find, or parking one in your garage for 37 years and waiting patiently for it to finally appreciate. It was to simply buy one of the last ever made, drive around for a couple of months and then flip it for an enormous profit. That’s what seems to have happened in the case of this 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which was bought new in March of this year, more than two years after production ended. We don’t know exactly how much the seller paid for it it – it could have been over list – but we do know from the window sticker that it was ordered with the hardcore 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package a...
