SLK with SLR Engine Beats Enzo Over and Over
They race down the highway in Dubai and the SLK beats the Enzo handily each time.
Wonder what a lightweight black series SLK could do with that quad-turbo 65 engine that they are working on in the CL/SL forums.....

This is a very old video now. Both the cars belong to Mohammed Bin Sulayem, Dubai's rally champion.
He has the following:
Porsche GT1
Jaguar XJ220
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F40
Ferrari F50
Porsche 959
RR Phantom
Maybach 62S
Mercedes SLR
Ford GT
Porsche Carrera GT
SLK with SLR engine
E-Class with SLR engine
C-Class with 700hp
Toyota Landcruiser with 740hp
just type Bin Sulayem collection on Google and you can find pics of his garage.

Speaking of a car (a Fiat) beating an italian exotic - this video was a crack up. Sounded like the "winner" was having the time of his life...
Caveat - I've got zero international language skills

SLK 55 AMG
First there was a load of people thinking that the photos of the SLK with the SLR engine were just photoshops posted on the internet (and kept saying so even after videos of it in action were published), even going so far as to try an analyse the photos and claiming "artifacts" in said photos as proof that they were not real (a dozen different people have since posted photos of the car having seen it out on the streets).
And the same continues with people doubting the "race" as shown in this video even though Bin Sulayem himself stated that they set the race up specifically to see which car would be faster and the SLK won.
What's so hard to believe? There's a ton of modded cars out there that'll outrun an Enzo. The keyword here is that the Enzo was stock.
If one pays closer attention to the clip, then you can see the Enzo needle going all the way to the right and being pushed out quite hard. The SLR engined SLK was supposedly modded further then just the stock power, and it ended up having comfortably more power and torque then the Enzo (for a car which weighs roughly the same).
It happens.
