Re: SLR Supertest

I actually dont really understand people who buy SLR (besides some of the Hollywood actors who need automatic transmission :-) ), I mean if you are for super car hunt and you are willing to spend few hundred K $$$ you just add $50k more and get the best of the best - CGT. And if you really want Merc, ok go and buy the REAL SLR from 60's. This one would cost you $100K less, but is the real thing :-)

Yeh, but as you said, it doesn't have an automatic transmission!

or a CLK-GTR... oh, never mind, that one doesn't have a auto either

So far the SLR has broken quite a few records in the supercar class:
- world's heaviest carbon-fiber sportcar
- world's sportiest car that was then fitted with a 5-speed torque converter automatic
- world's worst performance/price ratio sportcar
- world's only front engined supercar
- world's only supercar that uses supercharging instead of a free & fast reving naturally aspirated engine (unfortunately this one is shared with the koenigsegg)
- world's least sporty sounding supercar
