Ahh wow. If you go north on Rampart and make a left at the second light into a set of building pull up front and make a left then look to the right parked in two spots is a silver SLR Mc. with red int. The owner is no taller than the car lol
He also owns the buildings!
He has a car colection. From a SLR Mc. to Maybach. His little Girl drives a Red Vert F450. His Boy drives a Vert/Targa Lambo VT10!!! They use to park in front of my office window lol Yeah I know sucks.

I have respect for the SLR, but the body styling is not as exotic as it should be.

I saw one about three years ago.

I was driving with my father on a small backroad (I was practicing to get my license), when I heard this sound similar to a tractor revving its engine.
Then I saw this silver SLR that overtook me; two second later it was out of sight.

Really powerul sound. Really

It's all I can say.

I know there are alot of people that don't really like that car but I'm one of the people that just thinks it's gorgeous. I've only seen one in person. The oddest thing about it to me is that the V8 sound coming from a Mercedes sounds more like an American engine rather than a nice European one. I personally think a European car should sound like one. That car has plenty of power and is definitely one to respect. The engine note is actually my only complaint about it.

Somehow the McLaren SLR doesn't excite me much as compared to an ENZO or Carrera GT. Maybe it's because there are quite common here.

^lol, but it really has like a witches nose (the long thin bump down the hood to the MB symbol), a fish with its gills, and its just not that much different looking from their other cars.

What I meant is that its engine was revving so slowly that you could nearly count every exhaust pulse. The "tractor" is the first description that came to mind.

I'm sure that at higher revs this comparison is not valid anymore
