ok ,maybe the SLR is quite fast, but GT-R is better in all categories. (weight, N/A, chassis, suspension, aerodynamics etc...)

Actually McLaren F1 (GT-R or not) is a Formula 1 for road use.

I was joking. And the McLaren was badass in its day, but will get soundly whooped by the Carrera GT, Enzo, and CC8S...

Straight-line speed, maybe not, but who the **** needs to go 241mph? 220 is fast enough for me for a production car.

i love that picture..
i'll be curious to see what the final numbers are when they finally get one out for testing.
enzo has set a high benchmark for other mfg to try to catch.

Too bad it's a PhotoChop, moto. Those are fake wheels, fake B-pillars, and the car looks to be stretched a little...



This is the real SLR (of course with a little camo):
