Meant to handle amazingly tho arent they? Thats the point, not the out and out speed but the fun of driving element?
Look fantastic IMO

The differance in performance between that and the Cup is surprisingly very little.

Mid engined so should be very good, although saying that the MK1's aren't meant to be too hot in the handling dept, and also have less power than the MK2's  I think they (MK2's) are sweet and sound awesome

SLR runs a 5.0 V8 the rest are either 3.3 6cyls or 4.2 V8's the one in My avatar is My Uncles old one, there should be a pic of his white 350 Chev Torana in my garage cant remember
You Possibly Saw the A9X if it looked similar to the SLR which in itself is Pretty Cool as i ever only saw One A9x in my 8 Years of staying in Australia

One of them iirc actually had SLR 5000 written on the flat bit of the back of the spoiler in white, is this correct for it to be there just trying to remember, as i saw a few that looked the same as the one in the pic. There was one at a garage near my that the owner had just spent $16000 on reconing the outside and engine! got a little vid and pic on my phone

Send me the Pic I'll U2U my mobile number If you can send the Vid aswell I'll give you my other number for that , IIRC Some SLR's came with it across the Back some didnt my Uncles was plain black IIRC (it's been 13 years since i saw the car last!!!) But one thin ALL SLR's came with was SLR/5000 written on the wings, Since the cars are around 30 years old it's very likely it may have been a replica Once i recieve the Pics I'll start a new thread to save this one being trashed
