Haha the SLR did own it
Was it me or was the 599 a little bit late on the throttle then the SLR

nice vid, am I the only one not seeing the SLR 722? to me it looks like the normal SLR?

On another note anyone know why they dont do races from a dead stop (rather then rolling start races)? It would be interesting to see how these cars take off from the line

Yes it's a regular SLR not the 722,i guess they raced thar way not from a still to avoid the wheel spin

Corner wise it'll depend alot on the driver.

Something tells me the Ferrari driver wasn't working the thing thing right. I don't see a SLR being that much faster than a 599GTB. Then again from a rolling start the SLR's huge torque advantage comes into play I guess.

WOW...that SLR is sweet!! The face of the old dude in the 599 is priceless.

Re: SLR Vs 599

The SLR kills at straights with all that torque but the 599 will do twisties far more precisely than the SLR. Love that V8 supercharged sound though.

Re: SLR Vs 599

I'm sure 599 can do better then it did here.

Re: SLR Vs 599

That is what I was thinking, in fact I would think it would at least be tied up to a point. Car and Driver just got a 3.3 or something 0-60 time for the 599 and that is actually faster than what they got for the SLR, I think***.

Then again this was a rolling start so the SLR's torque may make the difference here?

Re: SLR Vs 599

This is ONE race, one race doesnt say much. Different cars, different drivers and the outcome might have been different.

Re: SLR Vs 599

That is true also. The guy in the 599 might not have known how to get the best of the F1 trans, if it had one.
