The Mercedes SLR McLaren is a supercar by every measure of the word. With a 626 HP supercharged V8, the SLR can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and do the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds at 125 mph. So how do you make a car like this look slow? Very simple, really. You put it up against the 1001 HP Bugatti Veyron! :twisted:

    Hmmm.. Another Way To Make a Mercedes SLR Mclaren Look Slow and Foolish.. Would be to race it against Custom Hot Rod Builder Rad Rides by Troy’s QuadraDuece II zero to 60 time = 3.2 seconds. Making it the quickest machine Car & Driver Magazine has ever tested. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    The Veyron is more faster because the engineers actually went to an F1 team and asked if they could use their windtunnel for the aerodynamics and the reply was “sorry we don’t go up to those speeds.” I got that from this video (which any of you car fans should definitely watch) which is when they maxed out the Veyron:

    The Veyron is barely a car. you can’t feel sorry for the SLR owner, they went into this “race” knowing the Veyron would own them. The Bugatti costs over twice as much, have 4 turbos, and a W-16 engine. I mean, come on.

    Definitely, the race was unfair to begin with. They knew the SLR was going to eat the Veyron’s dirt.

    actually if you watch the video, you can see that the driver of the mercedes doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing in that powerful car.

    He totally fumbled the gears when he was supposed to hit it.

    You can even see the drivers frustration of his crappy shifting skills.

    Watch it again, folks, I wouldn’t bet on this video…

    Umm, the SLR is an automatic. There is no manual option.

    you’re right it is, so there’s no paddle shifting either right?

    tell me something from that video doesn’t look right though

    At the point he was supposed to hit the gas, it sounded like it accidently shifted into a gear that was higher than where it was supposed to be.

    May be a tranny problem

    There are paddle shifters, but if you forget to flip it, it does it for you. What most likely happen was when he gave it the gas, the SLR downshifted. What do you expect from an auto?

    unfortunately. Even though the automatic box in Mercedes is probably the best out there, a good driver with a manual stick can do wonders

    This could also be called “How to make a Bugatti Veyron look ugly”… just put it next to just about any car in the world!

    Also, I’d love to see how the thing does when they take some corners.

    A chap in England crashed his Veyron after only owning it for a few weeks. It even made the evening news.

    The race is unfair really. obviously the Bugatti Veyron faster than the SLR. On the other hand, I prefer SLR since it good looking as compare to the space age Bugatti. :grin:

    For those that like the SLR, this is a really interesting clip comparising the SLR and the SL55 (which is several hundred thousand dollars less). And for those that don’t know about Top Gear, it’s a very well known car
