Good reason for that

SLR's are rather nice - but I'd much rather have a Zonda for similar outlay. The SLR and Porsche GT seem a bit too tame to be supercars - the Zonda is much more like the true definition IMO.

SLR can be used everyday though which makes it a very very good car! GT is meant to be an animal at the limit! stig managed to spin it!

Agree on the SLR, it barely ever gets a mention when any journo writes about 'supercars'. How often do you see it in Evo?? Never.

However the Carrera GT is undoubtedly one of THE great supercars, with one of the finest engines ever to go in a production roadcar, and near racecar dynamics.

Porsche CGT too tame

That car will bite your head off. Some stupid bint is actually suing porsche saying that the car is too wild and hence "undriveable" because her hubby killed himself on the track in it.

Go read the website link where you read that, and then post back the real story of events. It strikes me you read something, post it as fact, but in reality you have forgotten half the story and filled in the blanks with rubbish.

why dont the mods do something about the odd one or 2 who seem to be constantly ruining threads and acting like children?
dont they have the power to suspend accounts ,or is this type of rubbish considered entertainment

My wife has a brother. He is my Brother-in-law

He has a girlfriend. She is my Brother-in-law's girlfriend.

She has a mother. She is my brother-in-law's girlfriend's mum.

I think it works.

Only SLR I've seen outside a motorshow was in Bond Street. Looked all right in black at night, doing 5mph between designer shops.
