Performance 

The normally suctioned rendition of the S7 can quicken from 0–60 miles for every hour (97 km/h) in an expected 3.3 seconds, and to 100 miles for every hour in an expected 7.1 seconds.

Electrical system

The initial few generation Saleen S7 electrical frameworks were composed and hand-worked by Jimmy Rodriguez. Standard hardware include: Power windows, locks, remote control worked entryways, hood, trunk, and motor compartment openers, electronic force guiding with repetitive wellbeing circuits, 110 volt channel for keeping up vehicle battery, electronic warmed front window, electronic fuel pump stop upon accident sway, rearview camera framework with in-dash flip-up screen, and route. Electrical wire outfits are produced with the most noteworthy quality materials. Teflon-covered tinned military determination wire, gun plugs, gold plated pins and attachments were utilized for the connectors, and wire tackles were wrapped with a high-temperature glass network under a woven Kevlar external skin.
