Wow. Very nice.
By the way, any idea on when this motor show took place? I ask because there is a slight chance someone i know in copenhagen might have visited the show.

From the official website, it appears the show ran from Friday, April 16th to Sunday, April 25th.

FYI: That's #11R again in case anyone cared or wasn't sure. It's getting to be quite the show star lately.

I'm curious. Seeing as the GTR's are lighter than the LM and road car, but also have a little less power, does anyone know what the performance stats are on them ? I haven't looked up any previous threads on this issue, to let you know. I'll be honest, I'm lazy :D

[QUOTE=McLaren Mike]hey thanks, great pics, did you snap any f50 or SLR shots?

1st I have to ive credit where its do exoticcarsite amazing pics! 2nd mclaren mike Ihave some insane shots of the slr I have intior and exterior everything just let me kno if any of you guys want to see them. I canpost them cause there not gif and ill distort the color if change them. So just ask and ill email them to you there about 40 amazing pics of it. Its also the first slr ever made.

also is that a dauer in the back of the first shot? the black car to the right?

Yes it's a Dauer - actually a bare carbon one.

P.S.: Your signature is out of control - any chance of reducing it a bit? I guess I could turn them off altogether...

Nope its true I talked to the owner him self anyways the dealer owner they bought it for 2.1 million because it was auctioned off. heres the dealer ship www.rallye.com (http://www.rallye.com)

The Dauer is this one:

If you want I can check up the McLaren plate as well. Jochen Dauer confirmed to me that he sold one to Sweden which was this one.

The owner of these cars is Mr Bryant Meissner. He als owns CLK-GTR, one more McLaren, a Dauer EB110 etc:

I guess you guys missed my post so I'll ask again. What are the performance stats on the road converted GTR's? I know they are lighter but less powerful. Anyone care to speculate ?

I didn't miss the question, I just don't have a great answer.

What's to say that the air restrictors haven't been removed now? They're no longer a requirement. Surely the engine management could be retuned as well allowing the actual power output of the engine to be as great as an LM if McLaren allowed it.

Even given a lower weight figure, I doubt it would be significantly light enough to offset the power difference. Some people claim to prefer the GTR's steering rack ratio to that of the road car's. Given that the suspension is retuned and the car is fitted with better aerodynamics, the GTRs will undoubtedly handle better than a road car. Also, the earlier GTRs weren't much lighter than the road car. It wasn't until 1996 that they really began pulling every ounce out of the GTRs as competition increased in the BPR Series.

It's really a case by case question and you'd have to know the current state of tune for each GTR to make any kind of accurate determination.
