Jesus christ, I love the sound! It may not be the fastest car around compared to some even faster (and cheaper) cars, but my god it sounds like an ME-109 or something.

Best supercar sound? I'd say!

CGT is an amazing sound, and quite possibly my favorite. But like music there are different genres, and the SLR has an amazing sound. Like an old British Spitfire warplane flying by.

The SLR is hot but it's got to be one of the ugliest supercars available.
