I wish they'd focus as much or more on performance and track capabilities as they did on their body kits.

The S7 did ok, but production was never streamlined enough to hit their target numbers and the demand wasn't what they'd hoped for. At least I was able to get my TA's engine's machine work done at the same shop as the S7 blocks.
The S7 was and is a very pretty car. Love that one in a heartbeat. Unfortunately these supercars never get into my $15,000 price range.

Its sad that its ability on the track never matched its good looks.
