The Saleen S7 is even more INSANE than you think!

[@johnpirate3135]

I'm normally excited for new videos... but the dude literally says nothing the entire video other then "the s7 is close to a race car" and and how he loves the s7 then repeats those 2 statements over and over without ever actually saying anything about the car itself.

[@1stGenRex]

And then outright says he's not going to go into detail at all about what the issues are....yeah....that's pretty useless, IMO.

[@thestateofartgrimsby421]

These videos are way too long for the content they include

[@Therealtrump544]

12 mins to say it’s a rare race homologated car. Obvious he never drove one

[@Xbox360Player350]

Came here to say exactly this lol. I would have loved to hear what is actually a “grey area” on these

[@cypheruz9036]

Thankyou for your sacrifice now I don't need to watch the whole vid

[@SicSemperBeats]

This guy has mastered the art of talking slow to sound knowledgeable. He treats every fact and opinion like an abstract concept or a Doctoral lecture, but we're just talking about cars on an extremely base level (no engineering or physics lessons on his sections).

[@jonesmechanical]

So glad you said this. It was boring even at 1.5x speed. Guy likes to hear his own voice, nothing but platitudes. Worst vinwiki yet. I dar saw the only one that was pure annoyance.

[@NextDoorGuy]

12 minutes to say that its rare, the chassis is more similar to the racecar than we think (no further explanation) and most saleens are different, because they didnt sell many. Did I mention its a rare car?

[@motownpontiac]

You’re fun at parties, aren’t you?

[@johnpirate3135]

yup, the entire video dude literally said nothing

[@goat3898]

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking the same thing. Story line was boring but it’s a race car road car did you know that. Why bring up these key points then not talk about it.

[@donalsmith]

I was watching it at 1.5x speed an he still bored me to tears!!

[@Joel-uw1jm]

A lot of big words to say nothing

[@STimedic1]

A lot of words to say absolutely nothing. Can we get this retold by Ficarra with actual facts and info?

[@mcmobius1]

I want my 12 minutes back.

[@RumblesBettr]

Downvotes needed

[@BobGeogeo]

Thanks, that saved me the time.

[@joevarga5982]

We all do.

[@James-vn8zb]

He must be reading these comments through a stream of juicy tears.

[@alistairwillock7266]

Hey Ed and co, here's a learning opportunity: If your segment doesn't deliver intriguing bits of actual information (that ideally would be news to many of this channel's audience), or a really compelling storyline, or - better yet! - both of those things... You're probably better off just not running it. This piece isn't up to Vinwiki's usual standards.

[@CrackedCandy]

There are standards here? If someone pays him enough, he will play their car story.

[@bend.2726]

It's like if you gave ChatGPT the transcripts of 100 VinWiki clips and said "S7- Go"

[@CrackedCandy]

The ai would have done better

[@tripleffarms2872]

Lol yeah AI would have done a much better job

[@BlueCollarEV]

Did he ever get to the point of the video? At least the Super Speeders guy would tell you how horrible it was to rent and how narrow the pedal box was.

[@Therealtrump544]

Nope. He has never seen one in person I think

[@patpatboy2]

With a title like, "The Saleen S7 is even more INSANE than you think!" and a thumbnail that says "THIS SHOULDN'T BE LEGAL!" I really expected to learn more about the S7 than just, "its frame is nearly identical to the race car version!" That's cool and all, and I didn't know that before, but why does that mean the S7 "SHOULDN'T BE LEGAL?" Ya really gotta follow through on your hook.

[@blacksunshinegaming9315]

On top of that to mention "illegal" things on the car but not say what ANY of them were. Fine, keep your secrets.

[@KimiNL]

Just checked the comments to see if someone noticed the same. Just 11 minutes of someone confessing there love for an S7, but says nothing besides the production numbers, and that it was in Bruce Almighty. Thanks! I guess.

[@James-vn8zb]

I almost feel bad for Ed or whoever edited this video. They probably went through 2 hours of this guy talking about nothing, and this was the best video that they could piece together. He seems like the type of guy who checks in every 2 days to find out when the video is coming out.

[@ACEGAMER120]

Damn...was actually really interested in this one and the one time he sounded like he was about to elaborate on something really cool (the gray areas)...he didn't.

[@floodx4947]

How do you talk for 10+ minutes about a car, and literally say nothing? "Every car is different!" (Not one example given). "They REALLY broke some rules to build it!" (But, I'm not gonna say what). This is like having Doug DeMuro say "THIS! Is a Saleen S7. And now, I'm going to give it a Doug Score"

[@Burneygames]

I forgot this car existed lol takes me back to midnight club. Also buddy is fluent in yappanese

[@eddie_8317]

Its even got round wheels.... just like the race car.

[@CrackedCandy]

Slow down turbo, don't get too crazy with details here

[@Cassinspace]

Little known fact, all five of the S7s wheels are round. One manually rotates to steer two others... just like the race car

[@rawnrg1988]

😂

[@bradwhite4827]

In case you didn’t know, this car was digestible!

[@James-vn8zb]

Don't forget that they're both very juicy cars.

[@Bob-s8l1i]

so about 6 minutes in I cant help but notice dude closes his eyes for a solid 10 seconds while speaking. It was at that point I decided to check on my potentially invested remaining 6 minutes of wasted time at which point I was vindicated and chose to spend 4 minutes opening my laptop to leave this comment. 12 minutes of hot air

[@andrewzabel3691]

This story was kind of all over the place, like imagine Ficarra telling the same story.

[@mattg9971]

I had to double check that I didnt accidentally loop the video and wasnt listenening to the same 2 min over and over "its rare. Its like a racecar" repeat.

[@EvalynLadrick]

There are “things” that are “special” that I won’t get into but it makes these two “things” different but the other two “things” the same

[@rahulsudhir666]

You made more sense than this entire video. Thank You. 👊🏽🤣

[@buellfan8854]

Would like to see him debate this car with Rob Ferretti since he had one and was disappointed by its quality.

[@sgee1464]

type of dude that listens to a bunch of 'really great music' from bands 'you've probably never heard of'

[@EdBolian]

I tried to fit in one of these last year at MODA and I was very disappointed not to fit. As cool as it could possibly get!

[@tbrowniscool]

You are a giraffe Edward

[@ml9867]

Some supercars are built to fit its original purchaser without adjustments.

[@istvanlorinczi2817]

Isn't there the chance that you can take it back to the factory, and have them re-fit the seat for you? I know it isn't an adjustable seat, but I think they can take it out and put it a bit further back in

[@Mr_Asshole_by_nature]

Still have to video of it too lmao! See you there in a few months!

[@eag8999]

These were on my list till I realized I wouldn’t fit

[@batboy-xf3ki]

So, now I know the S7 is in a movie I watched, and learned, it's in a movie I watched, and now i know. So 1 movie and a car. For 20 minutes.

[@The1emersonukno]

Dude has some crazy arm hair

[@racerx8410712]

Right?!

[@rawnrg1988]

Bro I thought it was a tattoo I was mad distracted

[@James-vn8zb]

That sweater looks itchy.

[@jonesmechanical]

Truth

[@michaelhowell2326]

I remember hearing the designers talking about one of the final tests was to go to McDonald's and see if a super-sized drink would fit through the window in the drive-thru.

[@ml9867]

It was said that the S7 had so much downforce, that you could drive it upside down if you could build a tunnel with a spiral.

[@jamesmisener3006]

The spiral is turning out to be the road block or money in short.

[@CrackedCandy]

You shared more than this guy

[@joevarga5982]

I'm sure that's a load of crap.

[@robrokswing8110]

[@RoDKnee_Kapp985]

This guys stories remind me of when I was in high school & had to give a presentation…..he says so much without really saying anything at all! 🤣🤣🤣

[@FlexWheeler2nd]

8 minutes in and I’m giving up and going to the comments. Ultimate click bait presentation that told me nothing. Listening to this guy tested my patience by the second.

[@johnm1008]

I showed a non car guy friend of mine my Road & Track magazine that had an article on the S7. He was absolutely blown away. He said "that thing looks petty cool for a Mustang"

[@racerx8410712]

RIP Rabbit....even more missed.

[@esrtradajesse]

Heres a fun fact. Saleen never paid the welder of the exhaust. Fabchild is the welder

[@joevarga5982]

Rule #1 in business is don't extend too much credit.

[@jasonmaiden5026]

What I learned from this video is that the S7 is juicy.

[@85bigGMC]

Does anyone remember a commercial from the early 2000s that follows a lady in an office that was doing housekeeping or delivering mail etc and then got in a yellow S7 in the parking garage?

[@VINwiki]

Who remembers Bruce Almighty?

[@josephmoorison2200]

Great movie!!!

[@Blu3_SK33]

[@davemckee4907]

Nope never heard of him

[@jamescampbell4334]

I hear S7 and INSTANTLY think, "Bruce Almighty."

[@rdybunnaay693]

I hear s7 i think of the crash in need for speed….

[@nahornig]

Reminds me of Ed's garage liquor-stash...

[@kenny240]

I remember driving passed a Saleen facility every day on my way to work, when I lived in Michigan. They were right around the corner from our office. I used to see an S7 in the front lobby area, and they’d be painting FordGT bodies and letting them cure in one of the rooms with windows near the front of the building. I’d always wanted to go in and see the S7 up close, and now I wish I would have.

[@matthewgarcia2121]

I think this guy likes Saleen S7s

[@joshrepik]

Omg been waiting for this! The s7 is still my favorite supercar *EDIT* lol I was excited to see Bruce almighty because he drove the s7, not the other way around 😂

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Truly one of my favorite cars and it’s a shame no one talks about it like the F1

[@powertothesheeple5422]

It's a cool car but it's no F1.

The real crime here is Saleen not paying Fabchild for building an exhaust. Iykyk

Stradman drove one recently on his channel. S7 is such an icon.

[@Yb-wf9js]

Good way to start my morning

[@notoriousl.a.d2427]

The S7 was basically a Le mans prototype for the road and looks so beautiful❤

[@pinkyellowblue007]

I always liked the look of it, it's among the best looking supercars in my opinion.

[@nastyseventhree]

I just learned the road cars were darn near identical to the race cars, but no two cars were alike. Dadgum I love S7’s.

[@emanuelg]

Nice job, Matt!

[@barryjohnson5288]

Well, it raced GT1, and is very much like a GT1 roadcar like the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR, or a 911 GT1, and if you know anything about these cars they're uncompromising, and very Raw! The Saleen S7 is basically a GT1 Homologation car.

[@Warlord9000]

The S7R also had some stuff that was in the "gray area" where the FIA was concerned. Same as the Federal Govt, they just never found it. Most of us that worked on the ALMS/LMES cars knew it too.

[@markhodge7]

One was owned in Versailles, MO for years. Car show regular and occasional road spotting.

[@YoSuey]

He drove it in STL back in 2012-2013. Was riding in CWE and cruised past me. Nearly rode into a parked car it, it stole my breath.

[@markhodge7]

@YoSuey heard he passed away and wife sold it. ( I knew her after he passed )

[@elgringiototote]

Did he know he was going to be recorded? I thought the comments were harsh as I started the vid… the comments are spot on. He only alludes to “very interesting” facts, but mentions not one actual thing that’s interesting. Very frustrating to watch

[@Serenityindailylife]

I own a Saleen S351 (#251) I really loved driving it. And it draws you to it. One of my favorites. I also own a SLP Camaro, i raced both in SCCA. It was great, I drove John elways S7 once and it was nice.

[@aleksandr_elkov]

*why everyone started to talk about that car!?*

I just got to see an S7 in the candy red at a fall car show here in MI. Don't believe it was a TT car, though.

The twin turbo is the coolest supercar post 2000, and that’s just a fact.

If the Chrysler ME412 ever made it to production I’d argue it would have been cooler than the S7

I've sat inside a Mustang Saleen S7 in Australia. It was supercharged version though and it was built by Saleen, it had engraved signature on the rocker covers and it had signed dashboard. I didn't get to go for a ride in it but the guy fired it up for me and let me sit it and rev it because the owner was friends with my God father who was part of the Australian Mustang Club. I had never seen one before and I thought it was a supercar. I leaned about the Shelby SSC and I always had this imagination of what kind of Food could have been made if Shelby and Saleen joined forces? The S7 Saleem and Shelby SSC are the pinnacle late 90s early 2000 supercar vibe in my opinion. We have exotic supercars but these were American supercars and they were different because America always wants to deliver a base model middle road and extreme models of their creations unlike the Europeans? And the upper limits to wild yet somehow still factory delivered is nothing like Euro supercars. Where Ferrari would sue you for modifying their Ferrari you would have a rich American turn to to the workshop with his Ford saying it's not wild enough take my money and make me the wildest version; And the response would be Ok. How could you not love that ethos?

If this was on Donut Media James Pomphrey or Nolan would of done through research into the history of the car and who were the creators of the S7. And would of spoken about the philosophy of why the car was created in the first place.
