never understood the rationale to buy a high performance "name" brand when if you are really looking for performance a box stock 2006 corvette will leave cars like that in the dust.

If this Merc SLR is the worlds most perfect machine then THIS: BUGATTI VAYRON must be the most perfect machine in the known universe.
Quote from Jeremy Clarkson on BBC's Top Gear:
.... At this point you might point out at this juncture that the McLaren F1 (Not the Mercedes/McLaren SLR) could top 240mph, but at that speed it was pretty much out of control. And anyway it really isn?t in the same league as the Bugatti. In a drag race you could let the McLaren get to 120mph before setting off in the Veyron. And you?d still get to 200mph first. The Bugatti is way, way faster than anything else the roads have seen.

now an S class MB is a different thing.
YEAH RIGHT!!!!!
Dream on buddy. The SLR would leave the corvette eating dust in seconds.
Its a completely different animal. No american car (or "super" car) can compare to any super car out of Europe ... its impossible.

Thats what i meant bro ... dont worry
I actually love american cars .. muscle cars especially ... but saying that a corvette is faster than an SLR its plain dumb.
The only problem i am aware of with the SLR is that Mercedes screwd McLaren's design a bit by adding about 360 kilos worth of luxury equipment like electonically adjusted leather seats, electronically adjusted stearing will and most importantly a big heavy automatic gearbox
There was an article about this somewhere and it said that it was almost a deal braker between Mercedes and McLaren.
In any way ... the SLR is the fastest automatic car in the world.

seems like you got some knowledge in cars
i only expierienced bad things with automatic gearboxes like the egear from lamborghini.
A new z06 would give this a run for its money. sorry to say it, but corvette has the new supercar eater. I can only imagine what a little after market oculd do to it.
