You guys who mention Torana are kidding aren't you? "Gorgeous" and "SLR" (in the Torana context) are mutually exclusive!!!!!!!!!!

Yes that Brabus beast is truly VehicleViagra™, I just wonder what kind of noise it would make, considering the almighty growl the "stock" SLR produces!

What about the side exhaust? You can bbq a chicken with the heat coming from the engine. Probably not the healthyiest way to have chicken though. It looks like sex on wheels.

Might be a problem seeing the SLR has a single supercharger. I think it was a Merc Diesel engine that had the triple turbo setup.

I know someone who had a short blat in a stock one and he said that it was great (especially for bagging up the rears coming out of turns).

I love the SLR, but the new XK Jag really floats my boat.

3rd one along. It's just a hot combo.

Jags and Austin Martins own the world style wise, and probably will up untill the sun fizzles out.
