    Very well McLaren! Thanks! I edited the post because it's in fact a SLC and not an SL.

    This car is amazing- better looking than the BMW CSL and is it faster?

    I think the SLC is the long version and this is definetely the short wheelbase version, which was used in some rallyes (Safari?) with limited success.

    Theres only one way I can save you from Matt: is saying what he would say before he arrives.

    No way it is faster than a Batmobile! This car was in another league. The heavier V8 and the 3 speed autogearbox they used in competition never made any real competition to the CSL's.

    And the CSL is waaaay more beautiful!

    A quick search proved that it is a SLC.
    Apparently the media site is not so accurate

    Nice SLC
    Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.
