I thought McLaren and MB were going their separate ways...?

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

rather have a c6 z06 and a new house

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

that car is sooooooooooo ------ hard. That top gear episode, is it the one where they race to some other country?

If it is I saw that episode a while back, sooooo ------ hard. On the show some of the footage they have of the car just made the car look absolutely amazing, like when it was going through the tunnel.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

me too

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

no.. they just test drove it around there track. i liked the part where he brake from 120mph in less then 100 yards. and they showed the disc's light up.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

see thats what i dont understand about these super cars. i mean if your looking for speed and power why pay like 350 thou or more when you could just get a skyline and build it for less and it will run laps around the so called ''SUPER CAR'' you bought. i dont know thats just my opinion.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

bling factor.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

u got a point. me personally i could care less. considering not many bitches know what a skyline is you have better chance pickin her up in a ferrari and what not. i catch your drift.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

word, only not the vette, total "hey im 40 and i wish i was 20 again so ill buy this car and get a skinny bleach blonde coke head girlfriend who just likes to be seen in it" car.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

there's a c06 at outside in the parking lot right now in my apt. complex. I stopped and marveled at it. ;D

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

i could make a skyline faster for less and its sure woldn't be as heavy as that super car. Its sexy looking though

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

its called easy ----- ::) O0

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

because skylines are gay, over rated and worthless? theres a c6 in town thats white with black factory wheels its so ------- bad. if i could afford a c6 z06 id be a happy happy man. but hey RS, didint you say that was a stupid ricer arguement when i was hating on srt4's?? :-*

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

skylines are way overrated. im tryin to find a day to take pics of my buddies new lauren. yeah, it looks like a ------- taxi on 17's, then you look and see those 17's are GTR wheels, GTR brakes, then he pops the hood to see a huge ass turbo, you spot the front mount, he revs it up, and it chatters harder than a eskimo, and you look down and you have a ------- hard on. i would rather have that then a ------- skyline. a lauren with GTR parts is a little more sexier. thats my $.02


off subject but still in the subject of "super cars"
kinda funny you brought this up though. a friend and I were in a heated discussion with a guy about how much of a waste of money the ferrari enzo (after he said it was the greatest thing ferrari produced) was. then we looked on motor trend and noticed this:

take a test of a Ferrari Enzo, the Porsche Carrera GT, and the Ford GT (all lemans cars, but in factory form)

what do you think the outcome is. granted the prices were between $150g's and $650g's, the ford being the cheapest. ferrari being the $650g car.
long story short, the ford kicked some ass.

sorta interesting. im not really a ford guy, more of a GM guy, but I kinda thought this was a slap in the face to ferrari and porsche. johnny, you might like this.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

---- you could buy 3 of them one turbo another blown and the other just stock for going to the store and still have enough money to buy a huge house

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

Why would u guys compare a Z06 to a MB top model ???
Z06 is meant to be a sport car that everyone can afford. does it has ALL the function over the benz? NO

not everyone likes the idea of a "fix up" car when they have 908234509389 dollars in their account. most of the production car is not designed to be driven AND corners at 200mph, you can mod a Z06 or skyline all you want, but it would never touch the refinment of a factory designed unit.

some of you will be like, Who would want AC and all those bull ---- function in a super car. Well that is the market there for RICH people, it`s all good if you can afford one. If not then look for a lower class sport car like the Z06 :-*


FYI i heard that it cost a grand just to change new plugs on these SLRs because the engine needs to be LIFTED inorder to change them.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

c6 z06 would walk all over that mofo on a race track

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

stop hating if u`ve never driven it :-*

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

those cars are sick no doubt

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

if I had anything over $100k to blow on a car I'd BUILD MY OWN.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

Here's an article from the latest car and driver: http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1

Long story short, the GT got shitted on by a Lambo and a Ferarri, which only cost a few dozen g's extra.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

wow...

sure the slr is an arm a leg and half your ass cheeks, but ---- it's THE mercedes.

Sure you could build a skyline to what ever potential you want, but i'll still no where compare to the slr. The SLR is a hand built work of art that performs just as well.

---- I coulda had like 5 or so FULLY BUILT hondas instead of my Benz, but no matter what the Hondas won't provide the luxury, comfort, and as one of the above posted stated "bling factor" that this money hungry gas guzzling benz has.

I don't know about you guys, but personally my goal is to have somewhat the best in life. Meaning what? In 20 years I don't plan on having a Honda as my 'Luxury car' in the garage. I am 22 in 3 days, and I drive a v12 benz. In 20 years I hope to have some top of the line high dollar sports car, heck in 5 years or less I hope to be able to get a SL65 or, if the top car at that time appeals to me, that one, or at least a model that is higher than the one I have now.

Maybe it's just me, but I am now rocking a benz, I'm not about to step down. I'm not saying that I won't ever own and build a honda ever again, as I do have plans on it. But as much as I love Hondas, they are just toys, and I need something more than that and to keep it on topic, the SLR would soooooo satisfy that.

i dont see where it got ---- on?

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

i that other night too.

i really like it.

and...that show kicks ass. :)

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

I saw that episode on TV and it came #1 in the track times comparison. It beat a Porsche GT4 and a bunch of other supercars. PS. It is badass. And is anyone else reminded of an infomercial when they watch Top Gear?

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

Everyone has what they would do...

If it was me...I'd take the Carrera GT

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

panty dropper, pure panty dropper, any bitch that wouldnt drop em for that car, is insane. and you could move 2 degrees to the right and find another bitch that would

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

I think people are overlooking the mclaren part of this equation. I for one would MUCH rather have an F1 (I know they're not in the same class, but still).

Why anyone would buy a ferarri, lambo, porsche, mercedes is beyond me when there are juicier names to be had. Sure everyone recgnizes the emblems and styles of those cars, but wtf if you're gonna get something exotic then get something exotic.

bugatti
koenigsegg
maserati
older vectors.
or ----, one of the group B cars from back in the eighties. rs200 anyone?

In otherwords, if you're gonna drop anything over 150 large on a car, why in the ---- are you going to goto the dealer down the street? You better be importing that ----, wherever it comes from.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

Maserati must be pretty damn exclusive and better than Ferrari when Ferrari owns it.

Are you saying the SLR isn't exotic, you are outta your mind. The car is stinkin' hand built in it's own plant and will only have a limited production. SLR can't be compared to no normal Mercedes SL, or Porsche or Lambo or Ferrari. If you compare it to Porsche it is as exclusive as the Carrera GT, other than that Porsche really don't got nothing on the level of the SLR.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

hte bugatti is a joke and handles like ----. v 12 quad turbo a million dolars? come on thats ricer ----. if i was droping 150 on a car, and just a car not a a car plus mods. i would probebly get a modena because i had the chance to drive one, and i think alittle turd droped out of my pants because it was so sweet.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

I didn't mean that the slr isn't exotic, it is. It definately fits it's niche; just saying there are more options.

Re: 2006 SLR mclaren
 

honestly i am a ferrari (enzo) guy but for over 150k there are two options:

the lingenfelter tt c5 corvette soon the tt c6 corvette

or the NISMO r34 GT-R Z-tune (and it happens to be a skyline)
low 10 1/4 mile, over 500hp, all wheel drive, hand built and looks sexyhttp://sportcompactcarweb.com/featur...yline_19_z.jpg
