The Mach7 "Falcon" - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

New American supercar, the Mach 7 Motorsports Falcon;

Michigan has taken a Corvette LS3 that produces 500 hp and surrounded it with their own creation. They are calling it the Falcon. It can get you from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Their are plans for 15 units per year at a cost of around $200,000. There are also plans for an LS9 option which would produce 640 hp.

What do y'all think?

Oh no! This car is 100% carbon fiber, Factory Five is a fiberglass kit-car.
This car is Based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon (fighter/attack aircraft)...

Good golly, how many design features did they steal!?!? I see Lamborghini, Ford GT, Ferrari, Corvette, and yes the GTM factory five thing.

I think there are some cool features, like the iPhone dock, But I think they need to clean it up. It looks like they copied some cool bits from all those cars, and just shoved them into a blender.

The interior is close, just needs to be cleaned up a bit. the chunky tach bezel looks out of place with the rest of it. The exterior....needs help, and someone to stick to a theme. Those are all cool aspects of the cars, but they are nearly all different.

It makes me wanna say a Lotus Elise and Ferrari F430 Spider got together...nine months later they named the baby "Falcon".

look at the intake on that thing.... just a little piece of pipe coming straight off the hot exhaust pipe..... that's gotta be GREAT for performance

I don't know what the heck they were thinking...

I think it looks exceptionally bad-ass myself.

its a HAI.... Hot Air Intake..... Pronounce it HI..... because that's probably what they were when they thought of that

oh, and the intake manifold on a LS series is reversible.... so they could have put it the other way and it would have probably worked better..... doesn't look like their running an air filter on it either

+1 It looks cool, but it screams 1999 for some reason. The body style looks a little dated.

I like the "oh shit!" handle for the passenger lol...

DtRockstar1 · 10-19-2011, 11:34 AM

I think it looks awesome! They are actually revising the interior to make them nicer, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out. I don't really think it looks dated. To me, if you like it, it's not dated. That's my philosophy.

Here's a video of an prototype driving on Woodward Ave:

I like it but those tail lights are horrendous. They should've just stuck with the 2 outer lights and 86'd the inners.
