I personally don't think it will be worth that much money. Motor Trend tested it to a 0-60 of 3.7, a good half seccond behind the Carrera GT, its slalom speed was also 3mph slower than the GTs. I don't think i could justify the price.

So that would suggest that the Carrera will have a higher resale value in the long run, or with the Enzo, the short run. That is a nice little bonus for one who is laying down the bills for a GT.
man this has to be my second favorite car (first is the MCLAREN F1 for obvious reasons)
but yeah isnt MSRP around $550,000 or so? i was watching somthin on the BBC (TOP GEAR or 5th GEAR or somethin) and they were sayin there were ALOT of upsides...but a few downsides (automatic, etc.)
but for the mostpart nothin but good has been said about that car
1768 kg for the SLR, 90% of full fuel tank (97L in capacity), Mercedes safetystandard is too high on this car..
Think about it, here's the Mercedes C55 AMG under exakt same weightmeasuring standard:
1635 kg, 90% of full fuel tank (62L capacity)..
I also think it's the same V8 engine, but the SLR have compressor and different engine internals. Also the SLR have composite body, somewhere the weight must have went - can't blame automatic eighter as C-klass have that too. I'm confused.. does anyone else know where the weight really is on that car?
I was wondering the exact same thing. Even a Skyline weighs less than that! Even on the Skyline we're talking about a large coupe with a *few* carbon parts, large RB26, and AWD! I don't know why it's so heavy. I think the emblem is weighing it down
