simple question...why

 

[Nasadus]

Damnit,where's 800K when you need it.It looks incredible.I love it.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

theres no need for it though the stock SLR is fast enough

 

[iceburns288]

Apparently not. BTW, a stock SLR is fast but this makes it a lot more agile and fun to drive.

 

[Joey D]

Well somebody will always make something overexcessive. Not saying it's bad though . Sometimes to much is just enough.

 

[Ev0]

I'd like to see how it performs vs. a stock SLR.

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I read the thread title. But then the thought passed, Why not when you have money.

no it isnt agile nothings done to the suspension all i see is a bodykit and a few more horsepower 👎 sorry not worth it

 

[Danny]

If I had that much money, I'd rather take the Brabus Maybach:tup:

 

[Danny]

Or maybe a small spanish island.

 

[xcsti]

Or maybe a small spanish island.

Haha!!! Spain has islands?? Maybe I need a Geography lesson.

 

[Cosmic]

Or maybe a small spanish island.

You mean UK? 💡

 

[Danny]

Benidorm?
Majorca (Mallorca)?
Ibiza?

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

Looks sexy to me! Wish I can trade in my Z for it!

It's an alluring beast made scarier. Take something already hot and make it hotter. You know, it's kind of like take Medusa and making her ugly with snakes for hair, or turning a regular harem girl into one of those sexy female sand creatures in "The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time." It's appropriate to have McLaren mentioned, because the car costs about as much as what the McLaren F1 used to go for.

All in all, it's not street legal for what I know, so I can imagine this being a scary son of a b**** on the track. I haven't read anything about a manual transmission, because that was some of the criticisms I've read and even heard about the SLR. I don't know whether to call it the McLaren-Mercedes SLR, the McLaren SLR, or the Mercedes SLR ever since Mercedes-Benz left McLaren like The Game left 50 Cent.

 

[TheCracker]

Call it a Brabus SLR. Brabus are like Ruf - a manufacture in their own right.

 

[Famine]

Benidorm?
Majorca (Mallorca)?
Ibiza?

Benidorm?

*points, laughs, excretes*

no it isnt agile nothings done to the suspension all i see is a bodykit and a few more horsepower sorry not worth it

Sounds to me like they've decreased the unsprung mass by fitting lighter wheels, and introduced a self-locking limited slip differential to aid accelerative traction.

It's at least as much "worth it" as the actual McLaren Mercedes SLR...

 

[Danny]

Benidorm?

*points, laughs, excretes*

I thought Benidorm was a spanish island. Isn't it?

Answer me, you fool!

 

[Driftster]

Apparently not. BTW, a stock SLR is fast but this makes it a lot more agile and fun to drive.

You are absolutly right, because a 3.8 0-60 isn't fast enough I need 3.6. Unexcusable

 

[fangorn_forest]

What's unexcusable about wanting to go fast? Is going fast now illegal or somehow morally wrong?

 

[Driftster]

sarcasm buddeh

 

[Famine]

I thought Benidorm was a spanish island. Isn't it?

Answer me, you fool!

 

[pimp racer]

It would be legal in the UK and germany most likely. And THE GAME did not left G-UNIT he got kicked out.
