Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren '722' GT - to GT or not GT

Now I dare anyone to take a look at this merc slr and not want one. Fair enough as a street car it does look vulgar like some sort of bird corpse with nitro selotaped on but I always prefer the GT versions - they hunker them down to the road, making them lower, adding spoilers and race vinyl. This SLR looks so much better as a gt car :D
