The engine sounds real purty as well. I saw one at the local Mercedes dealership, and wet my pants. I hear only so many were made? So my dream is swiftly getting ripped away from me, even though I  really don't have a good grip on it anyways.

You start the car by pressing a button that is fabricated into the shifter. 575 Horse power, top speed of 207 mph, gull wing doors, carbon fiber layout, and a 7 speaker sound system and a spoiler that raises and lifts as you need it at high speeds.

So sad. :(

That stupid Macromedia Flash player doesn't do the car justice.

Such a pretty website and flash had to be included. The picture quality is pretty terrible in the clips as well. The stand alone pictures are nice though. I really do like that car. :)

uuuuugly. Sign me up for this. New 06 Z06. 500 HP (downrated from 512 by GM?), 475 tourque and only 3130 lbs. 0-60 in 3.8 (reported), top speed 190 mph. Certainly you wont get the exlusivity of the Mercedes, but you'll save about half a mil :)

I'd settle for a SLK 200 Kompressor. Under $30,000.

Heck, for that kind of money, I'd be able to afford a down payment on a condo here in the SF Bay Area!

Actually, for that kind of money I know where you can buy a 200 acre ranch in Texas.
