Yes! Thank you for doing this review. I first saw this beast in a book when I was in elementary school and I still cannot get this monster out of my head to this day. I'd love to see more of these relatively unknown cars on the channel!
Well done Joe and great job with that background on this S7. This is one of my all-time favorite cars. I am looking at my 1:18 scale model of an S7 in that exact some orange right now. You are right about the timeless design because this thing looks better than many other supercars out today. Again, well done and the stats on this car puts many of today's supercars to shame. Simply INCREDIBLE!
I knew I recognized this Saleen S7, it was featured in a tuner documentary on That Racing Channel, here on TH-cam. The big "N" on the intake plenum stands for Nth Moto, the tuner company which modified this car from 750hp stock, to its current 1100hp.
I was actually nervous clicking on this video as I've heard too many car "enthusiasts" pronounce this as a Say-lean. It's like dragging nails down a chalkboard! Thanks Joe for once again proving that you at least pay attention to how a car (persons last name) should be pronounced.
You're absolutely right Joe, this could be a brand new design, it's aged so so well. Great that you're going to be visiting Saleen HQ, too! The current White, Yellow and Black Label Mustangs are also superbly designed.....so I'm hoping you get to go "on throttle" with those!
A great review to start my morning 😃 One of the most beautiful car and the gills design are one of the unique characteristics that made this bodystyle stands out among the other supercars... Glad to see one especially in mint condition 👍🏻 Thank you for bringing us this one Joe!!
Wheel finish is personal preference. "Zonk"ing it is a disservice to this perfection of a machine. I love full polished wheels. Works on many flashy cars.
Absolutely Joe. I can't speak for anyone else but I sure enjoy seeing this type of vehicle. Your definitely coming with what I like to call "The A-Game.
Awesome car! I have a car salesman friend who let me drive a Saleen Mustang that his dealership let him take home. It was on my birthday so I’ll always remember the day. Thanks for sharing this Saleen Joe. It brought back that memory. 🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Well if ya wanna be technical that design is 20-21 years old. You’re 100% right about it being timeless bc that car will always look good, definitely One of my favorite cars! This came out around the same time as the Chrysler ME four-twelve. A race between the two would’ve been epic !
It was very well known car in my neighboring city of Troy, MI! Your opening monologue about the car, and Steve Saleen, are totally spot on! You did your homework for this one! 👏 Less than 5 miles from my current residence, was the plant, where those current Saleen Mustangs, were engineered, and converted... The S7, as put you it, is a timeless modern marvel! And Steve was, and perhaps stills is, a true visionary. Unfortunately, he's had his share of financial woes, !ike other automotive designers, here in the metro Detroit, MI, area! Truly, "thank you" , for showcasing this one, on your channel! 🏁🏁 P. S. ... The polished wheels fit well with the street car, however, I totally agree with you on blacked out ones, if this were the, "Type R", model! 😉
My son plays with my 16 year old 1:18 model Saleen each day. Didn’t know it was unheard of though, I mean “Bruce almighty” and basically any car enthusiast usually knows of this car. Plus Doug demure did a video on it talking about how many vents it has lol
Mama Mia what a spicy 🥵 🌶 macchina. She’s gorgeous. Hard to believe it’s 16 years old. 1000HP!!! Take it out for a spin Joe. We need the 0-60 figures. 🚗 Excellent review 👍 Tell those people not to interrupt our video 🤬
@@RaitisRides ....and I love your channel. You manage to be informed and technical, plus hilarious and FUN at the same time....among the best on You Tube for automobile content. I'm nearly 70, and you keep this old fart well entertained! Thanks bro.
Saleen’s biggest career mistake was pissing off and shitting on Phil Frank. He is a legend in the Saleen world and the creator of the S7 body design and of the 94-04 cars. Phil is a legend on his own right
@@RaitisRides thanks bro, it's just the car came out of know where and debuted it, the styles are brilliant cause we're running out of stylish aerodynamics etc, A true born American supercar
Easily one of the coolest supercars ever. Remember seeing one at the NY Auto Show when they first came out
I totally agree with you!
Let’s admit it. We used this car in Midnight Club: Dub Edition.
I use this car in Forza Horizon. Midnight club LA and Project Gotham. Midnight Club LA is what I’m playing now
Dirk Diggler I miss that game
of course i did
Hell yeah & I had the boss 302 mustang
ghetto wee I had the Gallardo and the Murcialago
I remember this car from the Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition game 😍
THATS EXACTLY WHY I LOVE THIS CAR OMFG
Found you again
Wikipedia about Saleen S7: th-cam.com/video/U4cDUphCp1c/w-d-xo.html
The first time I ever saw this car was in 50 cent’s Candy shop video. I’ll take you to the Saleen shop.😂
You are awesome!
Yes! Thank you for doing this review. I first saw this beast in a book when I was in elementary school and I still cannot get this monster out of my head to this day. I'd love to see more of these relatively unknown cars on the channel!
I am so glad that you like this one.
OMG I remember this car from the Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition game 😍 too bad the S7 is underrated and not many people know about this car
Well done Joe and great job with that background on this S7. This is one of my all-time favorite cars. I am looking at my 1:18 scale model of an S7 in that exact some orange right now.

If u played midnight club u knew all about this car lol
i always looked for this car in every racing game i have had, definetly a legend in my book
i believe this car well tuned can go against the ford gt for the mile record top speed
I knew I recognized this Saleen S7, it was featured in a tuner documentary on That Racing Channel, here on TH-cam. The big "N" on the intake plenum stands for Nth Moto, the tuner company which modified this car from 750hp stock, to its current 1100hp.
You are so very right!
A car that truly has its own look. This car and the Ford Gt would be my 2 of my favorite cars ever made
Midnight Club 3 : Dub Edition ... if you know you know 😂
Los Angeles 😂😂😂
for me i think it was a few years ago when i saw a saleen mustang and did reaserch off of that
Love the back of this car! Never seen one this close up, what an amazing car!
0-60 in 2.8 seconds. Wow. way ahead of it's time.
That's fast now. Now imagine 20004 lol
I was actually nervous clicking on this video as I've heard too many car "enthusiasts" pronounce this as a Say-lean. It's like dragging nails down a chalkboard! Thanks Joe for once again proving that you at least pay attention to how a car (persons last name) should be pronounced.
I never even knew that Johnny! Wow that is nuts. I have been watching Saleens race since I was a kid.
@@RaitisRides Check out Doug Demuros video. Only 10 seconds in he starts with the SAY-LEAN.😣
I used to say “say lean” until I became educated on how to actually say the name
Midnight Club check in here 🏎
Saleen is definitely one of the coolest supercar in history. It's a pity no one knows about it.
You're absolutely right Joe, this could be a brand new design, it's aged so so well. Great that you're going to be visiting Saleen HQ, too! The current White, Yellow and Black Label Mustangs are also superbly designed.....so I'm hoping you get to go "on throttle" with those!

YAY! SALEEN! you were right about the surprise! Thank you Raiti`s Ride`s you delived
Thanks Adrian! That really means a lot!
@@RaitisRides you are very welcome :)
Wheel finish is personal preference. "Zonk"ing it is a disservice to this perfection of a machine. I love full polished wheels. Works on many flashy cars.
MAN.... I LOVE the diversity in the vehicles you feature!!!!!!
Thanks Joe for bringing this to me, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is one of my favourite piece of art on four wheels
I always thought these were way better looking than Corvette’s even the new ones!
What an amazing car! Keep up the great work my friend!
Thanks Brendon for letting me bring it to you!
My all time favorite car ever produced 😍😍🔥🔥
Absolutely Joe. I can't speak for anyone else but I sure enjoy seeing this type of vehicle. Your definitely coming with what I like to call "The A-Game.
He is so calm in this video wasn’t ready for that
Dude I love all the reviews you've been doing lately. Keep up the great work👍
Thanks man! I am trying to bring the variety!
Awesome car! I have a car salesman friend who let me drive a Saleen Mustang that his dealership let him take home. It was on my birthday so I’ll always remember the day. Thanks for sharing this Saleen Joe. It brought back that memory. 🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I had one on a video game way back when 2004 Midnight club dub edition.
Great review, Joe! That sports car looks cool!
Oh my God...i love this car. Fell in love the first time it came out. Number 2 on my list after the Countach 🤤👍
Driving both versions in The Crew 2 right now. Amazing car!
Fell in love with this car as a kid playing supercar street challenge. It was on the cover of the game.
That is so very cool!
Discovered this from Gran Turismo and it still looks better than a lot of modern supercars!
Such a cool car.
I totally agree with you!
Well if ya wanna be technical that design is 20-21 years old. You’re 100% right about it being timeless bc that car will always look good, definitely One of my favorite cars! This came out around the same time as the Chrysler ME four-twelve. A race between the two would’ve been epic !
Hey Joe there's a couple very nice Mustangs in the background. Great review by the way !
Saw one race at road America in Elkhart lake WI. Years ago. It lost a wheel coming over the finish line. On of my all time favorite cars.
I was there on Saturday to see the Saleen in person. Looks incredible
Wish I could fit 😭😭 my favorite supercar of all time!!
I can understand that!
@@RaitisRides try to climb at the rear seats🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@edwardvalivonis23 LMAO! May be hot sitting on twin turbos! LOL
@@RaitisRides that would be Doug 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too. I’m 6 foot 6. I couldn’t stuff myself in a S7
It was very well known car in my neighboring city of Troy, MI!

I love that car it reminds me of the Mclauren F1 from way back
That's a million dollar car
Clicked on this video so quickly!!! Nicely done man
A dream car from my highschool days. What a wonder.
Amazing car 🙌🏻amazing S7 review🔥
Thanks Danny!
My childhood dream. the S7 is the definition of super car.
Saleen S7 twin turbos 😀👍❤️
Oh yeah! Big power!
Usually only see them in video games
I know right!
This and the F40 are my two dream cars. I even have this model car same color on my cabinet where I collect my model cars
Always loved this car
I totally agree with you!
Awesome video, gorgeous automobile, thanks guys!! 😎🇺🇸🙏
This was a cheat code in Midnight Club
oh yeah i watched this thing roll onto the bidding floor live, this would be in my dream garage for sure
I remember driving this back in the day but then I sold my PSP
Cameron worth the owner of pettit racing and the guy who built my RX7 was steave Saleen's room mate in college!
Now that is freaking cool!
This car brings back good times
My first favorite super car, Saleen is underrated
My son plays with my 16 year old 1:18 model Saleen each day. Didn’t know it was unheard of though, I mean “Bruce almighty” and basically any car enthusiast usually knows of this car. Plus Doug demure did a video on it talking about how many vents it has lol

I when I first saw this car it was on PS2 racing game called "Supercar Street Challenge" back in October 2001. I was 8yrs old.
I remember being introduced to this car in Gran Turismo.
The drive is in part 2 right? 😁🏎💨 great review Joe
Fantastic car, got a ride in one once! Get down to CA we'll try to hook you up with a tour.
Beautiful Saleen! Always have been one of my dream cars but those chrome wheels gota go!
my favorite super cars are the Ford GT90 concept, The Vector, and the Chrysler supercar concept.
“Hm, a new challenger? My pathetic existence, it has come to this! Oh K. You! Race me then.”
I've ALWAYS loved this car. That said, I'll stop commenting, watch, and let you do what you do.
You are awesome Raymond! Thanks for sharing the comments. I really love reading them and responsing!

Can you next year sometime review the Dodge Durango "Hellcat"? Because that's one car I can't wait for to come out.
Hey raitis will you be covering the new Z photo/proto coming this month on the 15/16?
Fingers crossed yes!
@@RaitisRides I will have the reminder bell set on that. Thank you
@@RaitisRides Nice, I'll be looking forward to that!
Instead of Doug scores, we need Raitis scores
The car is very cool but let's talk about how good your audio is in the video
The only things that screams 2004 on this car is the wheels. Other than that this car is absolutely gorgeous!
Yes I don’t mind seeing more of those.But I never got the chance to see the inside
Definitely a timeless design.
You seen Ferraris, lambos, mclarens but saleens are super rare
You better believe it!
I have a Foxbody Saleen. I get stopped all the time and people always want to check it out. One of 55 made in my year in the color
Man you’re awesome Joe, you’re one of my favorite TH-camrs hands down. Keep it up!
Unknown?!,, This is One Off the most beautiful Supercars ever Bro..
You are so very right but not many people outside the car world know what it is .
@@RaitisRides thanks bro, it's just the car came out of know where and debuted it, the styles are brilliant cause we're running out of stylish aerodynamics etc, A true born American supercar
I think any Mosler might be rarer than this to be honest. Would live to see one of those in the general.
You are right but this is simply the better car.
@@RaitisRides Nothing to debate against that 🙏🏾
This is basically a hyper car.
Wow I vaguely remember seeing this in a Guinness book of world records book !
Yes I want to see Saleen S7
that car is beutiful! :D. i wanna see one all over the world and they should drop it to 887,000
You have the best job in the world
My favourite car in Asphalt Urban Gt!
If I had this car I'd literally take scissors and cut off that RC car antenna, lol. Major zonk on an otherwise gorgeous car.
I know how you feel John!
A guy in a town nearby me has one of these rotting away on the side of his house. I’ve never seen it move...😭
Looks like he tuned a f1 instead of a mustang lol
LOL
The s7 is well known .. if your into these cars
Nice!! Amazing car.... :-)
You are right! That car can go for a 2020 model. But the wheels has to go,
Looks like a 2021 super car, for sure. 👍
My favorite car I probably can't fit inside 😂. Still remember the first time I saw one of these.
wow, what a great car.
Still a stunning super car!!
My Dream Car🍎
Beautiful car. Strong 💪🏽 work!!!!! Keep them coming!!!!
You got it Rafael! Thanks for being so supportive!
