Drove a Mclaren SLR this past weekend.
A buddy of mine recently picked one of these up. I cannot beleive how quick that car gets up to speed. Mashing the pedal at a stop light (with TC on) and feeling the car barely slip and just take off is phenomenal! It is for sure one of the top 3 fastest cars I have ever driven/been in. I love the interior. The only thing I am not too crazy about is the stock factory wheels (They could be bigger) and the price.

Awesome car The price is a bit steep though. Never been in one so I can't say how quick they are but they look damn nice!

Very diggable car. Only sat in one briefly, would lub to take one out for a spin. The overall design doesn't do it for me though, the rear is sorta weird looking.
