wtf are you saying you stupid guy ???? slr is on enzos , carrera gts and lp640s level , what f430 are you talking about there buddy , how the f*** can you even compare , 1st see slr on the streets and then talk , and learn some perfomance statistics on it , it is one of the greatest supercars there is

Thanks! You do have some good taste when it comes to these cars, I really like your ideas with the carbonfiber lip & 722 headlights. I'll try to go out in the next couple of days and take some shots of the cars to post on here.
