Re: C6 ZR-1 vs. C199 SLR 722

The top speed on the SLR is wrong. It should be 337 Kph. Also the 0-100 kph is 3.6 sec not 3.8. 3.8 is for the regular SLR.

The SLR 722 definately gets my vote. It may cost way more the Zr-1, but the SLR is not made out of plastic.

476,000 is too much money. I would go for the ZRI

Re: C6 ZR-1 vs. C199 SLR 722

I'll take the Mercedes-Benz thank you

The ZR-1 is a real serious track weapon but IMO the SLR trumps it in every other aspect.

Unless I can have the SLR roadster then I'll take the Chevy.

Re: C6 ZR-1 vs. C199 SLR 722

I pick the SLR but selling it immediately to replace it with a LP560 and M3 E90. I cant live with a SLR when I know I can afford something more tempting.
