Tom you are comparing your drag strip to that normal road they used for the test...much different 
. I would take their results as more real world then any track that's prepped and has best elevation you can find, as it will be somewhat repeatable on the roads…yours won’t be 
As for which I would take...SLR hands down, the lambo is cool, but come on have you seen a black or blue SLR?
Red interior?...the sound?
The two hot circular bubbles it makes from the side exhausts if you look at it when it’s coming at you straight?
Have you seen the matt black one on 6 speed?
Let’s not forget it’s a Super car…not a sports car. Rivals are Enzo/ Carrera GT… the merci at the time was no match
And oh…I have seen around 3-4 SLR 722’s here and an SLR GT
Such evil monsterous venom are in those cars
Just think what a modded SLR would do

Is it fair comparing a stock SLR to a modified CL65....no it isn't...but the SLR is a bench mark of performance and let's face it...life isn't always fair.

On this given day, at this given track, with the given conditions, the SLR won... nobody really knows how other super cars would fare unless they were there at that point in time.
Obviously an E55 would lose to the SLR in almost any condition right? But an LP 560-4s should put up a better fight... I think the Mas, Ferrari, and R8 were spot on. Now what about a ZR1

I'm sorry but that race was a joke... The F430 is an amazing car but it's out of it's league compared to an SLR or an LP560. The R8 is a huge disappointment in all areas except looks, and they shouldn't have even included the Maserati to be honest.
With the SLR being the king dingaling of MBZ, they should have had at least a 599GTB, or the LP640 there.
