fastboy Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I see such a car every day, Not in black but in Silver, and the thing is hilarious. An embarrassment on wheels. I don't want to be seen driving in that even if it had 1200 HP.. That's the truth.... unlike the McLaren F1.... the SLR is a joke! or at least looks like one.

larryo108 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 If he knew how it performed on the track he wouldn't be saying how he didn't like it. Unless volvo is the only car that has any value to Johann, I can't really look down on that opinion.Dude. If you knew Johann you wouldn't be saying that. While he does love Volvos, they are not the ONLY cars he likes. Just look at his Skyline buildup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidclanton Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Yes, what an incredible car...I took a pic of an SLR in Beverly Hills (check out his license plate). That same weekend I also took pics of a few other supercars - red McLaren F1, a couple Aston Martin DB9 convertibles, a couple Bentley Flying Spurs, an RR Phantom but the coolest of all was Jay Leno in his Ariel Atom (check out arielatom.com for this 4-wheel superbike - looks like it could pull some serious G's). BTW Bentley Continental GTs must be the flavor-of-the-week because they were as common as Camrys and Accords are in most cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Rwagon Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Wow, you chased down a SLR Maclaren. The driver probably thought you were the auto paparazzi. I bet you guys dont see this in your local grocery store ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmelviØØ7 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I was out test driving an old S40, one afternoon at work and saw one of those. I tired to follow it, but it is a little bit faster than that little 1.9L ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I took an SLR and F1 out for a day about 3 months ago. The SLR drives like crap but I agree is looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo850T5 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 we have a ferrari dealer by our house here and someone parked one of those but in silver in front of it and i took some pictures, but i was really more interested in the black enzo and the red F40.....

Zulu Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Sick poking car, remember seeing it at the detroit auto show, 2005. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Über855R Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Well I do like your choice on the skyline Johann. Cool car to build I stand corrected. How can you deny the benz heritage. The SLR may drive like crap on the freeway, but that's because its a 200 mph+ car made of carbon fiber. I would gladly take the trade off for the top speed.
