Lightbulb Mercedes SLR 722 GTR

Apparently they (AMG?) are going to be building 21 of these, also if you already own an SLR you can get this conversion done

Can I get a store credit for the 747 wing and those ugly wheels?

That's a nice showroom

Will it be over $1 million, like the CLK GTR?

Other than the wing (which is probably detrimental to the car at the speeds it can get to), I'd definately would do it...

he's right you know, wings do increase overall downforce at speed but the tradeoff is top speed.

ie-big wing means it may handle better (on a track) but it will lose a decent amount of mph off its top speed.
