People. If the Saleen S7 is your dream car. Don't let these issues discourage your dreams. The Dodge Viper was just as much of a pain to live with. But people still dream of owning a blue 2nd Gen Viper with white stripes. S7 might be shitty. But it's the greatest shitty car ever built and I still kill to own one.
My dream car is in fact a blue 2nd gen viper with white stripes, and I know they're a bit rattely and the interior is pretty terrible, but I still want it, lol.
S7 is my dream car too but I mean, I expected these things. America has never been great at that. It's always been, big engine, big power and everything else was 3rd thought and crude
He bought it for the sole purpose of renting it out on the street these HyperCars are still street cars they aren’t like a gt40 that was converted into street trim so it could race they are ment for street use that means it being hard to use shouldn’t be acceptable People have daily driven mclaren f1’s and their only complaint being the cost of regular servicing
Dont understand how anyone involved in its purchase didnt realize this was an expensive dumb idea, seats arent even adjustable ffs 😂. These guys just had money to burn no common sense
@@cesteres can you really be a car guy if you dont turn a wrench here and there? Cause at a certain point your just a guy with some expensive cars. Unless you drive to the potential then I'll shut up.
@@spencerchristie4000 Hoovies garage i say he a car guy. not a gear head. Everyone has their passions and their strengths. not everyone can turn a wrench....
As a kid this was one of my favorite cars. It's such a shame learning how bad it actually was. Hearing Rob and Salomondrin talk about how shitty it was makes me sad.
Tyler Black Same. This was my poster car when I was a kid so I'm a lil disappointed. But oh well, at least it still drives like a beast in racing games.
Well, the Countach, Deloreans, and many older Ferraris were also actually complete bastards to drive, or were just plain shit. Sometimes, nostalgic fantasy can be far more appealing than cold hard reality.
Me as well! I had a GTR Racing simulator game with the steering wheel, pedals and the whole nine yards and loved the racing version of the Saleen to death. I still love it. Someday, I'll have one.
Tyler Black Salomondrin has ZERO credibility. Can't take everyone else's word for it. None of that matters, as long as YOU love the car for what it is.
J Hall I got to say, the s7 was a really beautiful proposal back then. For that, i respect the heck out of saleen. Even more so than the companies of today like hennessey.. Why? Because back then it was a REAL challenge to compete with the likes of ferrari and lamborghini. Now everyone is kind of doing the same its just not as a peeling (with some exceptioms of course) Now its so uninspired, some companies just slap a supercharge LS into a bland and unoriginal chassi and call it a day. And brag about being the fastest with a extended lotus chassi. The saleen s7 was original and super gorgeous. It had its own character or quirks and features as doug would said. I personally would put the saleen from back then in the same pedestal with ferrari, lamborghini and porsche.
Every Starbuck has Evian that no one buys, but it is a part of a product line pricing strat that can lure people to spend money on their coffee. The Saleen S7 here might have had similar effects. It's renting price may have provided a psychological marking point that justifies people's cheaper rental. It may have invisibly profited you a lot in these years.
To your last point Rob, I think a Bugatti/LaFerrari would rent much more than the saleen s7. Perhaps you are right, hyper cars in general don't rent well, but I think the saleen is such a niche car that not everyone is going to know what the hell it is, and a lot of people would rather drive a red ferrari, regardless of if its a 360 or a 488.
Back when he had this car, the laferrari wasn't even out and the veyron was just getting out. The Saleen was one of the fastest production cars at the time.
A great car for drivers, does without any eAssistance and demands High Torque... That is what separates real drivers from For-Showers driving Expensive cars... (many BMers, Audis some Porsches and most recently those C63 doing burn outs everywhere.)
Who would have guessed that a car where the manufacturer flies the buyer to the factory to custom fit the seats, controls and driving position to wasn't a good rental car? It really seems the company didn't know anything about the car when they bought it for rental. They should have known that it's not suitable for rental
I've ridden in this car with Rob. From what I remember engaging the transmission was a fight. I can confirm the pedals were crazy close together. I also seem to recall they changed the clutch a lot. Car looked amazing outside. Inside looked like a cheap kit car.
Turo isn't cheap by any means I've looked. I own a nice Vette already so don't want that. Gotta figure, what would you rent YOUR car for? Not cheap I'm sure.
I met Steve Saleen back in the day at a local auto show in my area back in the day, pretty nice guy and the S7 was there. Cool looking car but the quality seemed really bad when you looked at it up close. The one that was there was the same color as yours, I wonder if it was yours?
Even at $1,500 a day that’s laughable idk who can morally pay that much to borrow a car for under 100 miles a day, not on a track, in traffic on south beach lol
Was super stoked that I got to ride in one back in the late 2000s. Despite its problems, this is one of my top 5 dream cars. And yes, I would have rented it. If I had 1500 to throw away on a rental. XD
Unsubbed, sorry Mr. Spaghetti but vinwiki has you beat on cool stories, Tavarish has you beat on wrenching, Hoovie has you beat on crazy projects, and Doug can show me exotic cars all day long. I miss the police videos and the real superspeeders. Good luck making vlogs
Yeah its turned into a "dumb kids give me ad revenue to continue the channel" type of affair hasnt it. I like old Rob but maybe its time for me to unsub also. Slowly wearing me down with each mediocre offering indeed.
You can't live on the edge forever....growing up is learning that great cars to you and me don't produce revenue as a rental. If he only did burnouts and street racing videos it would get old too. Ed bolan is cool, but ed will run out of stories too.
I could see that about the Saleen S7, about it being a total PITA to drive in traffic, temperamental, uncomfortable, it was a car made by a very small independent manufacturer who didn't have the resources/engineering talent to figure out things like a good driving position/ergonomics, how to make the clutch light in weight, easy to use but still hold insane power, etc. Reminds me a lot of the Lamborghini Countach in terms of being a PITA to live with, but on the right road it was riot to drive. Once again, small independent company, not a lot of $$$/resources, but the car is so special because it is one man's vision of what a car should be, its uncompromising in the design.
Bummer bro. I fantasized about this car when it came out. Sounds like an ok track car but no so much on the streets. I'd still like one if I had enough money though. They're gorgeous and as they're like you said Ford parts bins on wheels, not as pricey to fix as an Aston Martin.
Why would he say "we" and be talking so much about gotham lately if he isn't associated with them anymore? That'd be free marketing. He still works there, just doesn't film nor store his cars there.
Saleen S7 is basically a road going race car and that's what makes it cool. However that been said, race cars are generally not designed for very big drivers. If you are too tall to comfortably fit behind the wheel, well that sucks but if you can't even fit through the door, you might want to consider losing some weight...
Mansory Bugatti is currently renting In Vegas for either 25 or 30k per day, i don’t know the restrictions or qualifiers. Crazy I wonder how long that company will last. 2 of their supercars were just recently totaled on the strip, apparently they offer a package.
This car is a track car. What this man is saying is that a track car is not a street car. This video is basically click bait in the sense that he's down talking a track ready race car. You don't drive a race car on the street, you drive it on the track. It's unfortunate that this video was made, and was handled in this manner.
Rob talks about why the 04 GT was so good- " It had a great manual transmission" Rob talks about the 04 s7 - "it wasn't user friendly.. it was stick shift" ..yeah, i watch all your videos. Get rekt.
Rory Mitchell first of all it as a 2006 Ford GT. Secondly if you've ever driven stick shift you'd know that not all cars with a manual transmission behave the exact same. The Saleen S7 has a different transmission than the Ford GT
I owned a 97 blue and white GTS that was supercharged. I was on a car cruise and there was an S7. Talk about getting looks. The S7 got the all . The viper got little attention in comparison. Looking back the viper was fun, but after a while it was just too much of a compromise. Fast as all heck, but uncomfortable and hot.
The problems with hypercars is that they're more expensive to buy/rent, they generally aren't as driver friendly leading to a less enjoyable renter experience, and they're not anymore impressive to most people that aren't car people. So if you're out to impress other people a standard $200K ferrari, lamborghini will impress more because they are more recognizable brands.
The S7 is one of my guilty pleasures, I know that it really is a shitty car but god I love the thing. I feel like odd things in a car give it character and the S7 sadly just had too many odd/bad things so instead of having a good character it just turned out to be shit
813Productions lol, what's up man, you commented on my Dodge Demon video! It's funny seeing you here as well! The s7 is not a good street car. It was a street legal race car. Most people who rent exotics are posers and are trying to pick up women lol. I live in south Florida and I see it everyday. You're so close (and now 1 closer) to 1000 subs!!
What my idea was if i could ever afford and s7 was send it to custom race company and have the revamp everything. Fix anything wrong and even improve the car. Granted it would cost 100's of thousands but would be sick.
I always heard the twin turbo was so fast the car could literally drive upside down if possible cause of the extreme downforce and the shape of the car... not sure if thats true lol
"What we learned is that people renting cars aren't necessarily car guys..." That's because you can't rent performance cars like the Saleen S7 or Ford GT and actually drive them the way they're meant to be driven. That's why people prefer renting flashier exterior cars like Lambos, Ferraris, etc. When you rent a car like that, it's to be seen - not about the actual enjoyment of driving the car. You're so limited about what you can do in those cars, it doesn't make sense to rent it if you're actually after the enjoyment of driving it.
People usually drive cars based on the brand and its status. U have brands like Spyker that didnt do well , despite making good cars, but were not status symbols.
Kind of disappointed the car itself didn't live up to its standards. I mean that's probably why you don't really hear from them unless they're messing with Mustangs. They did an F150 for a little while. Hell, they had a Focus model a while back. Now Saleen just sits back in the dark now
Probably because it was so expensive. I'd bet people renting a car wouldn't be interested in paying so much more for a car they might not even know over a f430 or Gallardo that has the badge that is all they really care about. Also I know I'd be too scared to drive it if I hadn't driven any other exotics prior to that.
I think the Saleen is one of the most beautiful cars ever made but I find it funny how so many people have such strong opinions and criticisms about a car they've never owned. Rob owned one and it wasn't very good......I'll take his word for it until I have one lol
welcome to 2018... everyone wants traction control, launch control, climate control, Bluetooth stereo, park assist, blind spot sensors, antilock breaks, lumbar support, mirror in the visor (important to look good when doing 100+)... and man does shifting a stiff clutch get old we need auto... I have not had the chance to drive a car like this... but removing all the junk from the vehicle sure makes for a fun ride... eventually you can get so good at driving it that you can make it perform just as good if not better than a car with all the goodies. If you want comfort get a lincoln or caddy. Rob is just stating that from his business stand point the car sucked... too many people whining about it. this comment is not directed to you Rob.
I remember driving it in Midnight Club LA. The good days
458 123 the car was still clumsy driving it at high speeds lmaoo 💀

It's all about the twin turbo model, he had a comp model with the fat wing and us forza bois know that makes you slower 😂
Buys hyper car.. complains about it not being a daily driver.... lol
take it to the track, it's really not meant for the street
He bought it for the sole purpose of renting it out on the street these HyperCars are still street cars they aren’t like a gt40 that was converted into street trim so it could race they are ment for street use that means it being hard to use shouldn’t be acceptable People have daily driven mclaren f1’s and their only complaint being the cost of regular servicing
Dont understand how anyone involved in its purchase didnt realize this was an expensive dumb idea, seats arent even adjustable ffs 😂. These guys just had money to burn no common sense
This video doesn't have anything to do with daily driving a Saleen.
A: That's because most of the European hypercars are fairly user-friendly.
B: A non-turbo Saleen S7 is far from being a hypercar.
Dude, I totally would have rented the Saleen S7.
Dude, I also would have totally rented the Saleen S7 also.
You guys didn't
+1
If you could actually drive it. Lots of people literally can't.
Frozen Car Guy you wouldn’t... you didn’t
Your issue was thinking actual car guys could afford to rent a Saleen S7 for more than an hour at a time.
"Car guys" own cars in video games.
Car guys are spending all their money on their own project cars, not renting stock ones.

It’s too much car. Just like the ford GT they wrecked. Not rental car. Not stability control or traction control and big torque.
Luke Kobilan pretty much, fun cars make good rentals. Not serious performance cars.
A great car for drivers, does without any eAssistance and demands High Torque...
That is what separates real drivers from For-Showers driving Expensive cars... (many BMers, Audis some Porsches and most recently those C63 doing burn outs everywhere.)

Idc how bad this car actually is, it cld drive upside down! Criminally under appreciated piece of automotive history.
Manufacture claims about what their vehicles are capable of are almost always entirely bullshit. See Pagani's estimated figures for the Huayra BC.
aiGeis try telling that to the 12 year old me.

Car looked amazing outside. Inside looked like a cheap kit car.
The car was custom built to fit someone else at the factory, like all S7's. Renting out a custom interior fit car was a stupid idea.
mr. spaghetti tells us his rental race car was not good in traffic or "user friendly." you're absolutely right, this is definitely the cars fault!

I always heard the twin turbo was so fast the car could literally drive upside down if possible cause of the extreme downforce and the shape of the car... not sure if thats true lol
Ur driving a w140...respect!
Today Mr. Spaghetti tells us about the worst meatballs he ever had and why they will ruin your pasta too.
"What we learned is that people renting cars aren't necessarily car guys..." That's because you can't rent performance cars like the Saleen S7 or Ford GT and actually drive them the way they're meant to be driven. That's why people prefer renting flashier exterior cars like Lambos, Ferraris, etc. When you rent a car like that, it's to be seen - not about the actual enjoyment of driving the car. You're so limited about what you can do in those cars, it doesn't make sense to rent it if you're actually after the enjoyment of driving it.
YOU know that each saleen is built specifically to fit the owner
People usually drive cars based on the brand and its status. U have brands like Spyker that didnt do well , despite making good cars, but were not status symbols.
like #458 you gotta get the 458 speciale now
What’s the car with. The most problems?
I glad my dream cars are old 90s Japanese sports cars .
Kind of disappointed the car itself didn't live up to its standards. I mean that's probably why you don't really hear from them unless they're messing with Mustangs. They did an F150 for a little while. Hell, they had a Focus model a while back. Now Saleen just sits back in the dark now
Anyone know the name of the song at the end?
I still love that s7 though. Looks so damn good in my opinion. Even by today's standards.
So you realized we wanna hear about Gotham and nothing else. Smart.
Royal Living problem is he’s not allowed near Gotham lol
renting out any lowriders? I'm talking candy paint, chromed out, hydraulics and dayton wheels. A $100k lowrider. got any of those?
Probably because it was so expensive. I'd bet people renting a car wouldn't be interested in paying so much more for a car they might not even know over a f430 or Gallardo that has the badge that is all they really care about. Also I know I'd be too scared to drive it if I hadn't driven any other exotics prior to that.
what if it was never a rental?? and just got to live its days as a collectors car... how would you feel about it?
This car was a nightmare if you dont know what you are doing it is worse than my lancia with no synchros it's worse than a countach with no windows
It’s a track car not a daily driver
I can’t believe u guys rented that would be a cool car to have in the garage today definitely unique for its day
In this video rob talks about how his meatball getting ripped off and criticizes other peoples spaghetti sauce because it doesnt fit his commodities.
the 2020 supra is now your new single worst rental car but you sold it
I think the Saleen is one of the most beautiful cars ever made but I find it funny how so many people have such strong opinions and criticisms about a car they've never owned. Rob owned one and it wasn't very good......I'll take his word for it until I have one lol
I decided to thumb up every time you introduce yourself as Rob Spaghetti and not otherwise. Ps you are the best.
welcome to 2018... everyone wants traction control, launch control, climate control, Bluetooth stereo, park assist, blind spot sensors, antilock breaks, lumbar support, mirror in the visor (important to look good when doing 100+)... and man does shifting a stiff clutch get old we need auto... I have not had the chance to drive a car like this... but removing all the junk from the vehicle sure makes for a fun ride... eventually you can get so good at driving it that you can make it perform just as good if not better than a car with all the goodies. If you want comfort get a lincoln or caddy.
Rob is just stating that from his business stand point the car sucked... too many people whining about it. this comment is not directed to you Rob.
It's not a "problem", it's a feature! :^)
Still my childhood dream car despite its flaws
