The clutch is a little bit difficult supposedly (being carbon composite) but I think I could handle one as a daily driver .

The clutch weighs the same as 4 bags of sugar too.

I would get the SLR for a daily driver,

It was only out one time, so I highly doubt its a daily driver. It is merely a toy for whoever was driving it. I will keep my eye out in the future though.

You can order it straight from link I provided. They tend to come out in Japan a month or two before we get them here in the states. It is cheaper ordering them though. You might be able to get them thru any one of the inline hobby stores for about the same price.

its not a gt car its a supercar.

Yeah, I saw once of these things up close and personal once . . . at the North American International Auto Show.

Can you say "carbon-fiber chassis"? Yeah, I knew you could. To even think of that machine doing anything as vulgar as driving on city streets or filling up at a Shell station is somehow . . . perverse.

Peace

Well its origonally for racing.

Also I believe the tires are uni-directional (meaning you cant rotate side-side)...but yea its for racing situations.
