^^Actually, if I'm not mistaken, at least around the 'Ring the SLR is only 2 seconds quicker than the CLK DTM AMG, which is a minimal difference on a 20Km track. So yeah, dani is right, they're more or less at the same level.

The top gear track is so flat and feature-less that its not really a test of cars handling and balance. All comes down to grip and power. Whereas the nurburgring demands serious levels of handling, balance and feedback. Unless the driver is feeling suicial and very lucky! I certainly wouldn't want to try and apply the SLRs lightswitch brakes at speed on the rings twists, bumps and cambers.

Does anyone have the magazine with this article yet?

I saw this car at the Stars&Cars Day in 2004,wow.

This Sport Auto Test is very nice,this car is faster then a Ferrari Challenge Stradale.
I hope we see the same at the formula one opening in Melbourne.
