Wow, that SL Black Series looks absolutely amazing, I would take that over the SLR any day, and I also believe the SLR is much more expensive

Awesome pic, thanks for sharing!
I guess for $200K more the SLR gives you the McLaren name and a more radical SL body style. I prefer the SL65 Black!
A combination of these two SL AMG Beast would be off the charts.

Nice. I'm going to try to make it this week to W.I. Simonson, BHills or South Bay to see if they have a SLBLK.

wow, that would be a tough one to choose. Between the two, the performance is very close with the Black designed more for the track than the SLR. With that said, I think I would go with the Black

If I could choose I'd take the SLR 722S (this is a roadster guys!!!) for many reasons. The roadster part being an important one. And the SLR McLaren part also being an important one.
