no chance at lining up at the lights, too much traffic... but probably would have seen his taillights...
gotta get this pulley installed to make it something to be worried about

No probably about it, the N/A S7 does 0-60 in the 3.8 second range...

The pulley alone wouldn't make you a contender with the S7, you will need some serious mods to "make it something to be worried about".

Nice pic though

The TT S7 has ran well into the 10's at around 140mph. Don't remember the exact time but I know the trap was crazy.

we know that in the literal sense the S7 is real, and discerning if it has the speed to be called a supercar is what brought us to that California drag strip. The S7 did not disappoint us: 0 to 60 arrived in 3.3 seconds and 0 to 100 in 7.6 seconds, and the quarter-mile went by in 11.6 seconds at 126 mph. The S7 is simply ridiculously fast, and it's the quickest production car built in the U.S.

Ok paper racer. Did kauve trap higher than 126 and so 0-60 quicker than 3.3 too? Plus c&d is notorious for testing slower than what the actual cars do at the track. Please go back to where you came from

I'm pretty sure it was "ironical."

Apples and battleships. That said, S7 is not an easy car to launch - really awkward actually.

I was just surprised to see one, let alone even try to mess with it - this was on rural streets - no easy way to get over 60mph

hehe - yes, many of those exotics are driven by "look at me" types...

saw an Aston Martin and the dude was grinding gears, or something of the sort - It was like watching Richard Gere in Pretty Woman driving the Lotus

S7 is such a beautiful & rare exotic to find on the streets. The owners don't drag race but you should have asked to see the engine, they are truly amazing, especially the twin turbo's.
