Yeah the car could really lose some weight. The SLR is kind of a car of it's own and I don't know what MB was trying to pull of. Since they didn't went all the way and make the SLR really hardcore and stand higher than all the other super sports cars, I really don't know what they wanted to acheive with the SLR. The car is kind of hanging in the middle like the Murcielago, they both are really fast but not on top of the food chain and they both look really good and that in combination with the first similarity has resulted in them beceoming show off/brag cars. Mb should really come with a DTM version to show the world that they can build great sports car.
