Say what you want, but the SLR is an amazing machine in pretty much all performance respects. I personally think its wicked looking too, esp in black.
Yeah, yeah.....

Anyway, that SLR is silver with black interior.

I'm curious to drive it as well, but I'm told that using manual launch mode more than 3 times will void the factory warranty, AND in that mode the rev-limiter is temporarily disabled

We already blew the head gaskets on a Lotus Esprit V8TT a few years ago when we turned up the boost, although the factory warranty covered it we do NOT want to have problems with this one..........

Apparently, it's slightly below the Ford GT in almost everything except price (which is a shame for Mercedes' best effort @ $470,000).
