Those cars will definitely stand the test of time. One big thing that works in its favor is it doesn’t have navigation screens and all that everywhere on the dash like most modern cars have. Those are all good & dandy now but once the technology is obsolete all those screens will ruin the cabin. Car companies need to start making those screens retractable so they aren’t so in your face.

Having experience with their brake system from that era, I think they are more enjoyable on a street car. The long travel and lower boost allows for easier modulation in my opinion. I'd imagine this is similar but definitely something you get acclimated to.

I think you know why it didn't make much of an impression on you the first drive Tim. With the running costs, I think the only reason you would get one of these is as an investment like Manny K. This is a special collaboration indeed. Like both manufacturers were being careful to not mess up an iconic car... But in doing so they didn't feel like they could be as emotive and adventurous as they should have been. They delivered a lacklustre art piece. Thoughts?

I agree that it needs to be in your Shmeusium. Perhaps instead of a now out of date relic, you could make it a project car and turn it in to a stealth Black series by modernizing the platform. Maybe some winglets and flares, a new steering wheel and some cutting edge electronics. Like touch screen infotainment and cameras. Your continuing "by the book" Mercedes maintenance expenses could be forgone as there would be no need. "Mercedes SLR McLaren - Shmee Series" Just a thought... Peace
