The Saleen S7 is criminally underrated. I would take this over a Agera RS any day of the week and twice on the weekend. And the fact that it's a super car with a 6 speed manual transmission makes it all the better.
This is by far, my favorite American car. Minus the S7 LM edition, making 1400hp and the most stunning looks. Even if the Venom F5 does hit 300mph, I don't feel that I'll love it as much as this.
The level of detail and engineering that Nth puts in on their builds in incredible! They are truly one of the best out there. Kudos to all involved with the car, and the great work with the short documentary.
It was soooo utterly ahead of its time. capurting both contermporary styling of its day as well as bringing forth the future which only now in 2016 do we see hypercars with such levels of aerodynamics in their design. AutoJournalist back then questioned s7's gills and scoops, how saleen engineers designed the air to be used not just on the exterior of the car but thru the car and channeled underneith the car via venturi tracks and diffusion. the Saleen S7 was decades ahead of its time. Funny enough, so was their bread and butter Saleen Mustangs, of which people back then just didnt get the idea of track performance, driving dynamics. back then people were all about drag strip straight line stuff. And today, well... Saleen despite the companies ups and downs was always at the forefront of automotoring. mainly because of their racing pedigree.
Man I loved when this came to Le Mans back in 2001, the Vettes made everything boring but this car spiced up the show. Its too bad the organizers restricted it to so many degrees so the Vettes can catch up. Without direct backing from Ford, it died off in history. But I believe it finally won Le Mans in its final outing. Perfect send off it an awesome car.
SI RICKO why would anyone want to see civics it's a fwd economy car with a swapped engine not even interesting compared to a piece of art like a Saleen or supra
brad Hull Glad I don't have to drive one, wrong wheel drive sucks and the civic is no sports car. Just can't make them sound good either unlike the mighty 2JZ, 4G63 and EJ motors.
SI RICKO Sorry Civic would get demolished if it could stay intact long enough to do a few pulls. On a race track it would be a massacre. Not saying Civics can't be fast but this is just out of their league.
Damn this car is amazing looking:o i've always loved to look at it and hear it:P and it's really an underrated car if u ask me, you hardly see any people driving them today.. yes i know there weren't build alot of these, but still:) gr8 video guys!
The most amazing part of this build it the ability to use pump gas and still be able to perform. That means you can go to the store beat everyone there and get gas on the way home.
Have always loved these cars, always had a soft spot for them. I wonder how much they would MSRP for now, say in comparison to a ZR1 or nice ACR? Likely still over 200k. Would be alot more unique. I wonder if it's still running the 427 Ford motor. All the more reason I rather have this.
+manrightchea I thought because there are so few now that they command a price over $500K, unsure though. Just checked right now and the "cheapest" Saleen S7 on Dupont Registry was $499,999 USD lol.
Who cares what is it with people? All car manufacturers and motorcycle manufacturers share parts with at least one other company. Some share parts with many
They say this car is 1040 mm high (41 inches) which makes it lower than a countach. It just doesnt LOOK as low as a countach. or anywhere near only 41 inches. I guess you have to see it up close.

I remember how this car was in the game Midnight Club... It was literally a beauty, and unbeatable.
haha yeah it was the last car you got and smashed everything in that game
literally
Daily Evo YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS MC3 BOY
Daily Evo Ahahaha loved that game
In test drive unlimited, it was the fastest accelerating car in the game
America's forgotten hypercar
so true
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!
BingusDoesIt yes, you have a point there and they're are rumors saying the N/A version was even faster than the F1 so imagine the actual Twin Turbo
@@trueformoblivion3518 S7 top speed 200mph, twin turbo 750hp top speed 248mph.
I dare to say the design of this car is as timeless as the McLaren F1,Ford GT, or even DMC DeLorean...

agera is levels above saleen
this was my favorite car growing up
Fell in love with the car all over again wish there were more made

Love seeing builds like these, built lambos are a dime a dozen on youtube.
One of the only American cars I would buy if I had the coin, S7 best American super car.
The level of detail and engineering that Nth puts in on their builds in incredible! They are truly one of the best out there. Kudos to all involved with the car, and the great work with the short documentary.
for real my dream car. ever since I played test drive unlimited i just loved driving it around.
I would take this over a bugatti any day
D Binnie Bugatti cars are ugly. Call em, "Boo-Ugly"
Invaderguy78 Of Space i would the Saleen too as it is quicker around cornors, the bug is all about top speed, and ugly.
Yeah for sure

I remember Saleen looking and performing awesome in the mid 1990's. They were always the best looking on the track.
Getting close to 20 years old and still beautiful and relevant to me anyhow.
Wow those shots and the soundtrack were completely beautiful. Synced well 👌

Such a great video. The production quality of that last little part is truly something special, it gave me chills.
In my opinion this is probably the greatest modern car ever made. Super good video.
I still have a poster of the S7 in red on my bedroom wall...
I have a grey one, I used to think it was a mclaren f1 when I was alot younger
+Steven Turner lol
+blindassassin111 same..
I wanna see that thing take on the 1000hp+ supras on highway pulls, would be amazing to see.
SI RICKO why would anyone want to see civics it's a fwd economy car with a swapped engine not even interesting compared to a piece of art like a Saleen or supra
Brad they're lighter and would be more of a fun match compared to a 1300+whp supra
Yeah so would a v8 swapped mini

the greatest most iconic yet underrated american hyper car ever built
Got to sit in a red one about 13 years ago at a dealership. Such a cool car.
One of my favorites!!!!!!!!!! I love Saleen S7's
Doug Demuro bought me here - wasn't disappointed, great video!
Awesome build. Thumbs up for pronouncing Saleen correctly. :)
Beautiful, powerful, responsive.
I would take this over any super or hypercar.
2021 and its still a timeless design honestly
I am brimmed with excitement...and will literally die of excitment if i get to see one and get to drive one
Saleem S7 & a McLaren F1 long tail are my favorite super cars, there look is timeless🥰💕
My absolute favorite car
Damn this car is amazing looking:o i've always loved to look at it and hear it:P and it's really an underrated car if u ask me, you hardly see any people driving them today.. yes i know there weren't build alot of these, but still:) gr8 video guys!
always my dream car❤
Same.
Saleen is building 7 more of these. The Le Mans Edition.
That delicious twin turbo V8 sound... mmmmm.
Dude that sounds is really badass never heard a car like that!
Only exotic car I'd buy if I had the funds. All time favorite exotic car
Saleen S7, Gray, Red, Black or even in that color of the video, this car is always beautiful...
Beautifully shot!
Ah yes, this beauty was in Midnight Club. I played the third game and I own the Saleen S7 along with the Cobra. :)
Would give anything to drive this car just once.
I love this car so much, im currently working on a custom saleen steering wheel for my G29
the music and the way there displaying the car at the beginning .... car porn
"Build Documentary" with no actual build footage. Nice job !
All they really did was add the turbo's.
wow, very nice fab work on the manifolds, looks good
The most amazing part of this build it the ability to use pump gas and still be able to perform. That means you can go to the store beat everyone there and get gas on the way home.
Didnt know we had this in Minnesota, lol ! especially with snow!
Amazing documentary!
Nice video guys, keep up the work
awesome supercar
I miss this car i wish that it comes back
it has already this year... at 1100hp that it's original 700
It did. They did about 7 production cars, in honor of the Le Mans car.
The S7 LM, makes 1400hp and keeps all of the perfect styling of the first.
They were racecar built the chassis is pure race car.
Does it still use the same 427 windsor block?
makes me so proud to be from mn :'( MN needs more attention because there is a massive car scene here -_-
That was really good. Nice car too.
enjoyed this video TRC please do more of this!!!!
Chris K anderson. Work on the sound.
It is a incredible thing!
Wish I could just drive one.
a dream car
Wow lovin the music
Me too. Paxasmokes makes some killer beats that's for sure. Goes well with the video
One of my favorite cars o.O
Have always loved these cars, always had a soft spot for them. I wonder how much they would MSRP for now, say in comparison to a ZR1 or nice ACR? Likely still over 200k. Would be alot more unique. I wonder if it's still running the 427 Ford motor. All the more reason I rather have this.
It was $440k in Fort Lauderdale, Florida around 2005
+manrightchea I thought because there are so few now that they command a price over $500K, unsure though. Just checked right now and the "cheapest" Saleen S7 on Dupont Registry was $499,999 USD lol.
ReticentIndignation damn, prices going up
did they re renovate the non reclineable seats?
What engine block was it?
(I read it was a factory ford 351w bored and stoked to a 427w)
i love this car !
Gorgeous !!!
American and Japan super cars, there's not a lot of them but they're very unique. Dream garage is Corvette, Ford GT, Saleen and Lexus LFA.
Music is loud as fuck and the voices are near silent in comparison.
Nice Vid!!
Beast S7
indicator levers straight out of a ford transit!@ 2:50
Who cares what is it with people? All car manufacturers and motorcycle manufacturers share parts with at least one other company. Some share parts with many
Video very nicely put together; what's the quarter mile ?
Oh, darn. All this horsepower and no room to gallop. Hey-ho, Silver! Away!
Was just watching iron man.... this was my favorite car back in high school.
Great video Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them bow ties
The outside of this car is a neck snapper even today
Americas only exotic. I love it.
Ashy Gee Ford GT.
Reminded me of petrolicious great job
what's the song at the beginning of the video?
If anybody remember the movie speed racer back in 2007 this engine sound is the same engine sound as the Mach 6
wait how many s7's were made?
less than 100
Colds I believe 57, and only 20 became twin turbo variants
Actually didn't heard about this car until I watched the Need for speed movie
What are all the songs called???
They say this car is 1040 mm high (41 inches) which makes it lower than a countach. It just doesnt LOOK as low as a countach. or anywhere near only 41 inches. I guess you have to see it up close.
David Lopez I know you're not talking about the 24hrs of le mans?
I've never seen this and Minnesota is my home state
I saw this car in person over the summer
My dream car.
Is 93 really pump gas?
Literally
i seen this car before many times. now i realize it resembles a mclaren f1 Lt " long tail"
The rep of this car just got out of a mental ward, and the driver, which is clearly incognito is an axe murder!!!
Bonito juguete 😎 jejeje, ñamñam 🍷 🍷 ok?
Why not make it a convertable
we cant hear you in the back
It looks at sounds the same off of midnight club Los Angeles
Midnight Club LA 😊
Hand built and 7.0 V8 sign me up
Steve Saleen has been in my house before.
when the crew got the saleen i automaticly went and got the crew and bought the car
