    McLaren SLR vs F1

    Does anyone know whether people have compared the McLaren SLR (MB) against the McLaren F1 (BMW)?

    Why? One is a luxo-barge with a slush-box and a cartoonish design while the other is the finest production sports car ever sold

    Is there a comparison to make at all.....

    More than 10 years on there is still arguably nothing to touch an F1.

    Hmmmm. A pretty obvious idea for a comaparison test, really.

    A few people with access to the cars concerned might be interested in helping make it happen, and a lot more people would be interested in hearing the results.

    Somehow, I don't think Mercedes would be in either of those two groups.

    Isn't the SL65 quicker than the SLR?

    It's a hell of a lot quicker out of the showroom.

    the SLR is a luxury supercar.. not a supercar luxury car. Plus it's an auto matic (hahaha, I know this hurts porsche guys... seeing as how the new TT is faster in auto than in manual..) but..come on. The slr will never be against the Mclaren (BMW POWERED) f1. A better bet would be the ENZO.... vs the Mclaren.

    The bugatti is in the same range as athe slr---simply b/c it's EXCESSIVE. You don't need a platnum emblem.. but the bugatti has one.
