    Mercedes wants a certain type of sportcar and McLaren has a diffrent concept of a sportcar, hence the SLR aberration of a supercar, a supposed supercar with a 5 speed slush box, front engine, and most overweight carbon fiber body than any other, and needs 7:50 to go around the ring... looking foward to what Mclaren will bring out know without the meddleling of Mercedes.

    Looks: Good
    Engine: Good
    Everyday usability: Good

    Its no track performer and the interior lacks quality but overall its not as bad as people may think.
