Does the SLR come in any other color? I've personally seen it twice on the street, and both times, they were silver, and all the magazines show'em in silver too... I guess for something so expensive, the one option you DON'T have is change in color.

For good reason. M-B started with the Silver Arrow racing cars. I guess you know where I am going...

I think cars and HP are getting out of hand with these price dollars You can get a used DTM car and it will wipe the floor of these productions cars.
You can buy this GM OPEL Extreme car for around $300K and you'll own EVERYTHING on the road. Yes, its street legal.

I like it and there's a review of it in the Jan 05 C/D. However, that SL65 comes remarkably close in performance for $269,000 less and is still a looker. 
I'd love to see a non-governed SL65 run the SLR.

The SLR is bascially a very modded SL65. TOP GEAR even noted on that too.

That has got to be the MOST RICED car I've ever seen... it's like... "extreme riced" "mega riced" "rice-a-roma" "rice-mania" The only thing about it that's NOT rice is that it's a GM
I wouldn't pay $30k for that

Its a DTM race car for the real roads! M-B are really thinking of selling the C-Class DTM car for the real world too for around $250k. You can place your order here for it:

And check this webiste out about the DTM VS the SLR.

Thsi car would beat the SLR so badly.
