the McLaren SLR seems silly, BUT

...it still did hot lapping at the nurburgring at 7:30 (min/sec).

i think the carrera GT does it in about 7:15?

these new cars are amazing and silly in their sheer power.

Speaking of the 'ring, did anyone catch the Nurburgring 24 Hrs on Speed the other day?

First time I've ever seen that... very cool. I was bummed that one of the M3s crapped out within the 1st couple of minutes. :shock:

and for what it's worth, i'd rather have my car than THAT ugly automatic tranny sucker (same n'ring laptime).
