Post Road&Track`s review of the SLR

"in the SLR, everything happens quickly. Acceleration is astonishing, cornering grip is phenomanal, and the brakes amaze me."

0-60mph 3.5sec./ 1-100mph 7.5sec. top speed 207mph.

I second that Artist! I also agree with Just_me about the presence!
The SLR has almost twice the presence of even the Ferrari 599 GTB,
it looks twice as expensive. Only the Buagtti Veyron surpasses the SLR as the most expensive looking supercar imo.
