The latest car and driver has a good right up on the new SLR.
Of course, like most super cars out there, this will not be obtainable by the average joe :(

It (above) kinda reminds me of my other dream car, my '67 Shelby Cobra, I will own one someday, oh yes someday :yes:

However this is #1, I could supposedley beat my buddies street bike with this! I think Car and Driver said 0-60 in 2.3 sec.

Mmmm... the Bugatti Veyron. Sweet Volkswagen power plant!

Supposedly, the SLR McLaren goes 0-100 km in 4.3 sec.

I hate talking about cars... it ALWAYS makes me want another one. Lately, the price of gasoline has skyrocketed here in Portland (from $1.59 - $1.89 in a week and a half), and it is starting to make me think about something less gas guzzling. Not that I can't afford it, but there are also other things I would rather use my money on than at LEAST a $35 tank of gas.

WRX's are looking aweful nice right now. :cryb:

I'm with Freon VX - still love the McLaren F1 the most! And I really dig the Testarossas... oldies but goodies.

I'd buy both :naughty: If I were a wealthy man. But for now, my VX turns heads and that'll do until I hit the MegaMillions Lotto :dance:

No, you WILL look at my spiraling insignia, and you WILL win the PowerBall. And once you do, you WILL give me half!

I think PowerBall is up to something like $85 mil now... that would be enough to buy a couple nice things I guess. I mean, really, you'll probably only end up with somewhere around $40 mil or something... what's the use in even playing then, right? :D
