That is one BadA$$ car, we just got our 1st one in two days ago & I got to sit in the driver's chair. It was an awsome feeling with the engine running and tapping the accelorator, the exhaust note is incredible!!! They use CF all over this car, even the shell of the seat is CF, amazing!!!!

Hey Mark, just curious, who at the dealer actually gets to drive the car? and what will they want you to do for a test drive if someone is serious? I mean poeple gotta test drive a car before they buy it right? :p I am sure the commission of that car is incredible for the price they will sell it for.

There are only 2 people in the dealership that are allowed to drive this car. One is the Service Director and the other is our Certified SLR Tech. I don't think that a test drive would be allowed and I am sure that a drive would not be a deal breaker for this vehicle!!!!

Sorry James, we sold the car and the customer picked it up last night. The only good thing about that was that I did get to pull the car off the showroom. Nobody wanted to drive it and the Service Dept. was already closed, so I volunteered my services! The trip down the showroom ramp was not enough thought, I wanted to just punch it and take off around the block, but I need my job to pay for my new car!!

I heard the sticker on the car is $395,000, the the dealer wants $1,700,000. Is that true?
