2004 Saleen S7-R "Evo" GT1 ex Acemco: Accelerations, Warm-Up & Sound!

[@peterpetruzzi]

Almost 2020 and this machine still looks modern... the engine note on the contrary is from another glorious time.

[@TheMadmagik]

its from a time before emmisions and restrictions dictated the engine note.

[@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts]

That's because it's essentially a Ford small-block stretched out to 7 liters. Same as the street car.

[@__Konboi__]

That engine note is from the era of gods

[@jonathanrice-exec11]

Got to see these race in 2003-2004 with darkdog sponsors at petit le mans. Amazing sound!

[@simplesimon8255]

From another glorious time? What does that even mean?

5:28 what a great mix!

[@Dashriprock4]

DanniiBee I was going to. comment on that very thing..

[@Stalk3rDesign]

Going to see FIA GT, LMS, LM24h, from the early naughties, this car was always a stand out. Such good sounds back then from the gt1s, with the c5r, c6r, dbr9, mc12, murcielago, 550s etc etc such a good era for motorsport...

[@giantfisher]

The S7 is a true "Love-At-First-Sight" experience for me, I didn't know what it was, didn't care. And like true love, every glimpse of it catches my breath like the very first time. I actually got to see the S7R in the early years of competition in the American Le Mans series at the raceway in Sonoma, California (it was Infineon Raceway at that time). And I became the proud "owner" of one in Gran Tourismo 4. That's as close as I'll likely ever get.

[@fitzroycunningham4142]

I like the fact that we all can hear the base sound of this Racecar. It makes it sound the most musical, it's like a heavy metal musical band along with the corvettes. I've watched this car at most racing from ALMS to FIA GT series and its disappointing that it wasn't as victorious as the other GT1 racecar towards the end of the decade.

[@gregmahone1815]

I remember the imsa races and the legendary GT1 battles between the Saleen S7.R an the Corvette C5.R on the track and this S7.R chassis number 0029 sounds like a beast 7.0 liter V8 can't be compared to a 5.5 liter V8 or a 4.4 liter V8

[@IamSnehan]

You made a slight mistake there mate. You should have written "can't be compared." No hard feelings.

[@gregmahone1815]

No problem an thank u

[@auz17]

Slightly disagree as the Panoz Lmp1 was the most earth shattering V8 ever in GT racing.

[@IamSnehan]

@@auz17 well, that's your opinion dude. IMO, the Saleen has that perfect combination of menace and depth that makes me give it the number 1 spot.

[@fyfyi6053]

@@jonesvaughn8946 lol Are you trying to say that it looks like a "hypercar"? This is a GT1 car. The GT1 class is a class for hypercars. That is literally what GT1 is. If you think the Saleen is so ahead of its time than look up "GT1" in the 90s. Hypercars aren't something new.

[@fyfyi6053]

@@jonesvaughn8946 The only difference is that those hypercars are actually racing. Hypercars made today are garage queens.

The way you play the sound of the engine warming up while showing the car at different angles in the beginning is so sick! It gives the car more of a badass feel than it already does. I love it!

[@koenigsegg1237456789]

the amazing thing was that the road going version barely had any changes made to make this a GT1 spec monster!!

[@DesertStateInEU]

American engineering masterpiece

[@theunclebsimchannel6434]

This brings back great memories when I used to attend the American Le Mans Series races at Laguna Seca! I recall seeing this car at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2004, and it ran at Infineon Raceway (now called Sonoma Raceway) and Laguna Seca in 2005. It was, unfortunately, no match for the Corvettes, but it was certainly an eye-catching car on track!

[@aussiek67]

They had to sandbag it because it was too fast for the C5-R & its development was too slow compared to C5-R. With a few modern tweaks these will run with the current GT cars in IMSA easily! They're that good & fast!

[@srgmhmm]

I come back to this video more than I’d like to admit.

[@okami3271]

Saleen S7, one of my favorite cars of all time

[@patman1237]

Fortunate to have seen this car in it's prime at Mosport in the early 2000s. I got a signed poster from Terry Borcheller as a kid I was chuffed! They had nowhere near the budget to be as competitive as the big teams but they did well nontheless. I always loved this car and the sound oh my god you feel it coming as much as you hear it, shakes your insides. Thanks for the nostalgia! This and the MC12 were the wildest GT cars of the era to me.

[@joshhayesksu]

Torn between this car and the Panoz esperante gtr-1. Both sound amazing

No replacement for displacement! This thing sounds incredible! Cheers Bozzy

[@iconicracing]

Really nice video from my Saleen at Monza congrats, keep publish quality stuff like this !

[@mp3_Martin]

You sure know how to drive it! In my opinion the S7.R has got to be one of the sexiest race cars ever! And the sound is awesome! Follows close behind the old C5 and C6.Rs - those were just thunder. What a thrill it must be to have the chance to thrash these classics and display the former glory of them

[@mp3_Martin]

I read somewhere that the aerodynamics of the S7.R were great and really made it feel like a prototype race car, but at low speeds it wasn’t that great. It needed and wanted the speed to perform at its best
