The muscle car era of old is long gone, but in its place are a
pack of “modern marvels” that can tear up any track! The
Mercedes SLR McLaren, Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, and the
Nissan Z350, are all hot performers in their own right. The
first two will cost you a mint, the Nissan is more in reach.
Time to compare the models and let your imagination run wild.

I believe it is the Kia Rio that retails for just under 10K. If
you were to buy 45 Rios you would just begin to match the price
of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. With an MSRP of $452,750, even a
Bentley becomes a bargain. It is quite likely, however, if you
can afford this car you’ll not be worrying about price. Instead,
the V8 engine pushes out 671 horses, 208 mph top speed, and 3.8
seconds of zero to 60 acceleration…certain to excite you. If
that is not enough, try gull wing doors, bi-Xenon headlamps,
sidepipe exhaust, turbine wheels, carbon fiber bucket seats
covered in leather, a 7 speaker Bose sound system, and lots
more. If that still isn’t enough there must be some Mercedes
parts you can order!
