HOUSE REAL BIG, CARS REAL BIG, BELLY BIG, EVERYTHING REAL BIG. I'm doing a full playthrough of Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix on my Weeb Gaming Channel, "Cartaku" RN. I'll definitely use the Saleen S7 when I get to it! You should check it out.
Your line about the S7 being inspired by race cars is actually dead-on accurate, lol. Saleen was running a couple of highly modified Mustangs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997, and of course Steve Saleen himself went over to manage things personally. His pit boxes happened to be right next to the pit box of a team running the beautiful Longtail McLaren F1 GTR, which Steve admired a lot, and so he took a lot of inspiration for the design of the S7 from the Longtail F1, and you can definitely see the family resemblance.
These videos are incredible, Bladed, so be sure to keep them coming! This one was almost as good as the one with the Viper, which in my opinion is your best video ever
I remember playing a racing game when I was small, in which you could only turn left and the objective was to be the last car on the track. Most American game ever.
Wow you actually did it, Now i want a Bugatti Freaking Veyron or Chevrolet Freaking Corvette or Mazda Freaking RX7. But bladed *W H E R E I S T H E M I A T A ?*
Heres a suggestion: Rare 60s/70s Muscle you may not of heard of Also love how your videos are full of info but are exciting to watch! Even if youre a ford fanboy Seriously, keep it up! Im sure Im not the only one learning stuff.
Doesn't rank as well for UA-cam Search. A lot of research goes behind what us UA-camr's use as our titles. the word, "Saleen" is what makes sure it recognizes I'm still talking about a car. S Freaking 7 will accidentally get identified as a video about the Samsung Galaxy S7.
Not relevant to say "bodywork" looks like X or Y. Back then all cars needed the "longtail" look to be eligible for Group GT1 racecar homologation. The F1 GTR Longtail, the CLK GTR, the Porsche 911 GT1 all took the long big wide butt look for the sake of the race cars.
Steve Saleen himself actually did say the design of the S7 was primarily inspired by the Longtail F1 GTR. Saleen was at Le Mans in 1997 and he had a pit box adjacent to a team running a Longtail McLaren. He liked the look a lot, so he took inspiration from it.
The Saleen Twin Turbo, the first car I ever fell in love with. I discovered this baby when I first played Test Drive Unlimited on the FREAKING PSP lmao.
Also Blade you know that Saleen re-launch S7 as a limited production car last year right? They plan to create 5 of S7 LM, it has 1000hp twin turbo engine. So far they had made one, one of the differences I notice is that the car has center locking than traditional lug wheels. The price was $1 million.
3:56 To be fair the number you are quote was for Twin Turbo version with 750hp, and actually it wasn't as less powerful than other competitor. Veyron has 1000hp because it must carried like 1800kg of weight, CCX has 800hp engine but carried 100kg more weight than S7. So they are pretty much in the same parity in terms of power-to-weight ratio.
I hope Saleen ventures into making a sportscar based on the S5S Raptor concept from a few years back. That was quite ahead of its time and still looks gorgeous today (with some style upgrades). Also, any car with “Raptor” in its name needs to hit production!
6:08 Well honestly the one that killed S7R is because the class that the car compete in, GT1 was about to be canceled due to rising cost and popularity of GT3, so Saleen withdrew early and by 2012, the class itself is defunct.
6:20 it's true, those hypercar makers that go "omg it's 1 of only 250!" that's not for exclusivity, it's for practicality. Saleen need to do what BMW, Porsche, and Audi did, use a fleet of SUV's to finance their performance cars.
That’s one of my all times favorite car. I still remember the 1st time I saw it: I reached the final boss in Midnight Club II, and his car was Saleen freaking S7!
0:04. IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!?!?!?’!?uehdhdudhsiejududufjjdhdjdhdjrhjdjdbejbdhdjdkingshdjdusududusudududhhdvdhdhdhshhzh69420jdidhfufhdhdhhfjdjfjfjejdjjsjsjdjsujshshhshdhud
I remember I rode in that super car when I was a goober child! It was silver/grey with a tan interior. I didn't know that the heck I was in and half asleep lol
6:21 Not that I'm criticizing Saleen but at that time they rely too much on modified Mustang, while manufacturer made equally fast car from the factory. They also failed to secure any OEM contract like they did with Ford GT and Viper. So he had to sell some share of his company to private investor and only to found he is being ousted afterwards. Things did eventually get better, he start a new company called SMS Supercars and it was successful enough that when Saleen bankrupt he buys his old company back. Of course things aren't so smoothly right now and he sells half the company to the Chinese. Which merge their Artega GT project into Saleen S1 and selling Saleen tuned Lincoln in Chinese market beside his modified Mustang.
Saleen in a nutshell: Starts as a Mustang tuner, has a midlife crisis and becomes a McLaren F1 tuner (sort of like the Hennessy Venom GT and Lotuses), goes back to a Mustang tuner after 10 years.
I’ve been waiting for this. I love this car. It’s so cool Jim Carrey drove one in Bruce almighty. 2:15 I downloaded that picture to use as a background for my computer
KONO S7 DA

Koenigsegg and Saleen make the most beautiful supercars you can imagine, also their performance is great, how can you not love them?
Hennessey freaking venom!

Flamero Burns That’s a great suggestion.
SSC Ultimate freaking AERO
Killa T1Acid yes pls
PGR4 :)
Awesome job on the video! The Saleen has aged well and will forever be a favorite car for me. Thank you for making a video about it
Title should've been S freaking 7, sounfs better
Doesn't rank as well for UA-cam Search. A lot of research goes behind what us UA-camr's use as our titles. the word, "Saleen" is what makes sure it recognizes I'm still talking about a car. S Freaking 7 will accidentally get identified as a video about the Samsung Galaxy S7.
Bladed Angel true
Mabye more like The Saleen S Freaking 7, and not just s freaking 7
Nope, that sound terrible.
Salem freakin s freakin 7*
"...we do care about cornering but only if it involves turning left for several hours..." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your channel is amazing!!
Wish you the best!!
I think Saleen were inspired by McLaren F1 while designing it, headlights and taillights look very similar but body doesn't really
CenturioN yeah I always thought it was a cross between the McLaren F1 (particularly at the back) and Mercedes CLK GTR
yea, you are right, body style looks like CLK GTR
Not relevant to say "bodywork" looks like X or Y. Back then all cars needed the "longtail" look to be eligible for Group GT1 racecar homologation. The F1 GTR Longtail, the CLK GTR, the Porsche 911 GT1 all took the long big wide butt look for the sake of the race cars.
thanks for information. I appreciate
Steve Saleen himself actually did say the design of the S7 was primarily inspired by the Longtail F1 GTR.
Saleen was at Le Mans in 1997 and he had a pit box adjacent to a team running a Longtail McLaren. He liked the look a lot, so he took inspiration from it.
An extremely underrated and somewhat forgotten supercar. My favorite mid-engine car of all time!
Dude I was going to comment an initial D reference but now I don't know what to comment...
RIP.
#RunningInTheNinties
😂
You couldn’t think of anything because you were RUNNING IN THE 90s when there was no UA-cam :) :)
There done it
The Saleen Twin Turbo, the first car I ever fell in love with.
I discovered this baby when I first played Test Drive Unlimited on the FREAKING PSP lmao.
the the Mazda freaking miata
LOL! Who wants to rice a legendary MIATA. That only true ricers do;)
#TRUEreality
thank u bro
I own a miata myself na 1.8 liter STO I love it and I'll never rice it lol
my dad owns 1.8 mk2.

Mord Fustang is best dubstep
SALEEN IS BACK??? wow I wasn't even aware! Thank you for this video ily
The Lancia Freaking Stratos
Facts
This was a better video than the Viper one because you didn’t try to do as much forced jokes this time, keep the quality up man
TVR Speed 12 inc.
Martynas Andriušis yeaaaa
Yes!!!
This whip was one of the best in midnight club 2 and 3
#bestwheeldrivesquad
Ironic
Blasphemy! AWD is best wheel drive.
But...the STI logo. HERETIC!
ian1231100 facts
If you ain't best wheel drive, you're worst wheel drive

The dodge freaking demon
You're right ,it's definitely one of the most beautiful and agressive cars , it's just gorgeous .
PLS make Mosler Freakin MT900
LAND SHARK BRO!
Yeah, landshark, bro!
Yes
I AM FREAKING LOVING THIS SERIES
So budget american McLaren F1 ?
No its a freakin 1000+ HP of Democracy
I dont kow why but at the beggining of the video when its the shot of the eagles going through his blood got me rollin! xD
I still play runescape to this day. The oldschool version. Dont confuse it w/ runescape classic.
Finally, someone has made a good video on my favorite car
Am I the only one that the exterior of this car was inspired by the McLaren F1?
Nope
Man i fucking love these videos from the voice and sarcasm to the jokes and pictures you put up been here before 1000 sub G
DO THE EVO!
Mr. Grape! YES
Brother amazing video, I always LOVE your commentary
Good thing I took today off, well worth it😂😂
I love the saleen s7’s design as it’s so simple yet to well done
hey bladed, love ur stuff brother. Might try and meet up with u at cars and coffee some time
Fun fact: there is a rapper named MORD FUSTANG
1000+hp of democracy!
Soooo you would rather live in a country ruled by a dictator...
Actually America is a Constitutional Republic. Not for much longer though. Thanks liberals.
This car SALEEN S7 f*cking puts tear in my eye. No saleen but the extreme saleen can beat this one. Big fan boy here and I'm proud about it.
Don't you guys think that Saleen's rear end is way too long?
MrInfinity They did that deliberately for extra downforce and weight distribution, since the car was designed from the start to be endurance GT racer.
I think it looks gorgeous
I’m so happy people are talking about this car
If u doing the 86 then u gotta do the Honda Freakin ShingoMobile!
I used to adore the S7 in middle school. Back then, it just looked SO AWESOME. I can see where Porsche got their design cues for the 918.
the only reason i know this car is because of midnight club
"My Will Be Done!!!" :-P
There was also the S5S Raptor! I bet I'm the only one to remember this!
MafiosoItaliano458 Well if you look at the comment there are dozens of S5S related comment so yeah.
Pffff a S7.....where is the Yugo
Viiiprr lol
yugo 1.3 efi goes up to 180kmh,ive been in one and its a freaking beast
5:27 the Honda nsx is a rear engine car,and it also has a trunk in the front and back.
Mid engine***
Is the Pontiac solstice good?
Royal Shawn it’s a good track car, I’ve raced in one
I hope Saleen ventures into making a sportscar based on the S5S Raptor concept from a few years back. That was quite ahead of its time and still looks gorgeous today (with some style upgrades). Also, any car with “Raptor” in its name needs to hit production!
The Mercedes freaking SLR
6:41 is it me or does that car look like the front of the Icona Volcano Titanium? I am new to the car world lol
Jesus freaking Christ
hahhhahahahahahahhahahahah
PR0J3CT V0RT3X 🤣🤣🤣
porn freaking hub
God freaking damnit
Cesus freakin Fhrist
6:08 Well honestly the one that killed S7R is because the class that the car compete in, GT1 was about to be canceled due to rising cost and popularity of GT3, so Saleen withdrew early and by 2012, the class itself is defunct.
Volkswagen Freaking GTI
I loved the Saleen S7 when S7 when I was younger. Now I just love Rally cars.
The McLaren freaking F1
The Saleen S7 accelerates to 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. It’s faster than the Porsche Carrera GT!
"Salene" is what I use to clear my nose out after surgery. "Suh-leen" is how it should be said. Sorry for being rude lol.
I love this series PLEASE make more
*NISSAN FREAKING GTR*
To be absolutely fair, I’m old enough to remember hearing Mr Big’s “To Be With You” on the radio and I still forgot Vector.
Dodge freaking Challenger
probably the most underrated super car of all time
FREEDOM
I'm glad someone make a video about the Saleen S7. Please do a Porsche Carrera GT video. Thank you.
6:20 it's true, those hypercar makers that go "omg it's 1 of only 250!"
that's not for exclusivity, it's for practicality.
Saleen need to do what BMW, Porsche, and Audi did, use a fleet of SUV's to finance their performance cars.
Nice American video about the forgotten supercar
Love this series! Cant wait for more episodes!
That’s one of my all times favorite car. I still remember the 1st time I saw it: I reached the final boss in Midnight Club II, and his car was Saleen freaking S7!
I'm suprised you never mentioned the Saleen S5S concept. One of the best looking cars ever in my opinion.

I remember being 4 years old seeing this behind ropes at a car show. It was so shiny and so damn yellow...
These kind of videos are awesome keep it up bladed 🙏🏽
I remember I rode in that super car when I was a goober child! It was silver/grey with a tan interior. I didn't know that the heck I was in and half asleep lol

S7's my favourite car... so this was dope
A light weight American car : actually quantum mechanics forbids this
as a european, I got to know the S7 as a kid through gran turismo and midnight club...just one word for it: awesome!!!
Saleen in a nutshell: Starts as a Mustang tuner, has a midlife crisis and becomes a McLaren F1 tuner (sort of like the Hennessy Venom GT and Lotuses), goes back to a Mustang tuner after 10 years.
The Freaking TVR Cebera Speed 12?
I’ve been waiting for this. I love this car. It’s so cool Jim Carrey drove one in Bruce almighty.
2:15 I downloaded that picture to use as a background for my computer
This car is as old as me:) also loving the enthusiasm in this video
Bladed freaking angel keep making this series
Hey man i want only tu say... love your vids!
"we do care about cornering but only when it involvs turning left for several hours" xDDDDDDDDD
I saw a Saleen tuned Mustang once, it was pretty dope.
Mord Fustang is an Estonian freaking DJ. Fun fact.
