3 Saleen S7

Not many people know about Celine automotive, an American company, but their S7 certainly made as one of the best performance cars in the world and was certainly the best to come out of America in a long time. It, too, featured a Ford engine, the Ford Windsor V8 small block.

With this 7.0 L engine, they were able to pull 750 hp in a car that weighs under 3000 pounds! A car company, like Hennessey, got its start as a tuning company and fill this car in 2000 to 2006. One of the real reasons we know the car is so reliable is that it has lasted this long and even though they only made A handful, including the S7-R which was also made to compete in Le Mans.
