The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a very advanced piece of machinery as well as a very satisfying one. The performance is great except for the brake feel which is dreadful. It's fun to drive on track and even more fun on the road because of all the attention you'll be recieving from bystanders.

Pros — Stupendous exploitable performance
Cons — CLK-DTM is more fun for less money

Acceleration awesome, listen to that V8 - no other engine comes close, some say it's like a spitfire, it sounds even better than that!! Stunning looks, fantastic finish inside and outside. Drives like an absolute dream.
Just point and squirt, goes wherever you want it to go, it's so easy to drive, even my girlfriend who's not the most confident of drivers and only got her licence 5 weeks ago took this round a track and down a runway at 170mph!!!!

Pros — Looks, speed, handling, noise, interior, german build quality, hand-built at Mclaren HQ in woking.
Cons — Cost- £335,000 basic!! It's just not fair!!
