Saw an SLR McLaren today *PICS

It was black and nice. All carbon-fibre body, ceramic brakes, huge engine, nice interior and beautiful shape (brand-new)
Its $480,000 US and some guy wants to lease it for $150,000 down, $5000 a month and a residual of $200,000. I can buy 2 CLK 63's for that or a house. 0-100km in 3.8 sec!! CRAZY

Here are the pics:

Only the ignorant would change-out the wheels on an SLR -- they are part of the cars engineering design and function....

And $480K for an SLR is P.T. Barnum material....

When I first got my car off the showroom, it was parked right next to a black SLR with red interior. I told the dealer that before I buy my car, I have to play around with the SLR (without actually taking it out on the road of course, lol). But yeah, black SLR looks like the batmobile. You gotta see it in person.

and you can actually hear the roar of the s'charger when it comes fast from behind your back. I met a couple of english gentleman in their SLR on the italian highway, I was in my previous car, a BMW 330cd. I waved them and they waved back, then after passing them (such a profanity!!!) I "invited" the guy to "tear me apart" with that monster. He did, and I can still recall the whole sound effect of that engine together with those exausts........
Guys I must steal one of those someday!

Hmmm...There was a black one at the closest MB dealership around here for a bit but it got bought. I saw it once when I was getting my car checked up, the ML was in the same waiting line as the SLR! hehe...

There are also two silver ones in two different dealerships near me...unless of course its the same one and they switch them around to mess with me!

SLR's are sick! Local dealer has a black one in their showroom, next to a black SL65. I need to find a way to earn more cheese.
