Wow the logo is the intake.. that's pretty sweet..

Deuce

ya, they were smart to do that, made one thing do two jobs. Looks and intake. I don't know if they lost anyweight out of it, but I would guess so because they want to lose every little ounce to make the car go faster. Plus MBZ always underestimates the speed of all their cars. I am pretty sure the SLR can do 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. I have the SLK 55 AMG and I know it is faster than 4.8 seconds with ESP on.

u seem 2 be an expert on the slr...cud u pls explain this quote to me:

"While the wheels of test cars normally stand still in wind-tunnel tests, the Stuttgart facility allows the aerodynamic interaction between the road surface, the tyres and the body to be tested. Two steel conveyer belts drive the tyres, simulating all of the flow processes associated with travelling on ordinary roads or motorways. Using this facility during the development of the SLR, the Mercedes engineers were able to examine the influence the moving wheels have on drag and lift."

thnx
