This is: Smaller, better looking, cheaper, quicker, more powerful, better accelerating, and quite possibly better handling.
Big time. The SLR while it performs great is #$%#in ugly as all hell. Both companies responsible for it want it to die and be forgotten, hopefully this will do the trick.
This Black series is a beast! Over $187K cheaper than the SLR, only .2 sec slower 0-60, and a top speed of 199mph! This is a steal (as if I could ever afford either one)and it's not gawd awful ugly, unlike the SLR.
This falls short of the SLR...... http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2F www.autoblog.com%2F2009%2F07%2F06%2Fvideo-i-top-gear-i-takes-on-the-mercedes-sl-65-amg-black-ser%2F&h=3747cd47639b7f7fef77b17f1128b9d5 It looks much better imo tho and you could still do shyt to it with the extra 200 stacks and still have enough to cop a SL 63...lol
