LFA or SLR?
LFA I guess... give me something with a manual though! :)
Definitely the SLR. That long bonnet with the doors + a supercharged V8 really a beautiful car....LFA sounds great tho
Massive Merc fan but I'd take the LFA.
Nice race
LFA
I see LFA, I click
Same
Same
😎👍
The LFA is a more desirable car to me, I'd gladly lose every drag race to be lucky enough to hear that sweet high revving Yamaha tuned V10!
The longer your run, the more time spent hearing the engine :-)
Completely agree!
😎😎
The mercedes sounds way better, sounds like a world war 2 plane
@@user-pr3eo8tq4d sorry mate I respect your opinion but your wrong
The smile on Tiff's face in the LFA makes up for him losing the drag race.
For sure, when it's starts lighting up the tyres, Tiff's face also lights up
Don't You Call It Noise It's Pure Sound For Our Hears
The LFA lost the race but won my heart. What a soundtrack too. Great one guys!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video! 👌
LFA has 'only' 4.8L motor versus bigger 5.4L motor of the slr
@@acrzga and what? You trying to say that a 3.5 engine in the Toyota Camry is better than the Skyline's 2.6 liters RB? Or w124's 5 liter V8 better than McLaren Senna's 4 liter V8?
The power of the engine does not always depend on its displacement.
@@_retrophile_7473 i didn't Say what ! I saïd LFA Lost versus bigger motor of Mercedes but LFA may have better ratio power/motor size
@@_retrophile_7473 I totally agree with you. Bigger engine doesn't necessarily mean more power and more performance. People think a (500bhp) 6 litre V8 will be faster than a (500bhp) 2 litre 4 cylinder. Why? There's lots of factors involved. Capacity is not indicative of power output. A smaller engine can make just as much power as a larger engine. Why Tiff launched without revs is beyond me. Perhaps he was told to go easy on the very expensive transmission.
The McLaren Mercedes is incredible, but the list of cars that I'd rather take a passenger lap in than the LFA is very very small.
Its basically maclaren electronic genius, that's why even the latest maclaren are only rear wheel drive
@@carholic-sz3qv What are you on about? The SLR has a Mercedes AMG drivetrain, it's 5-speed torque converter gearbox was utilized by many other Mercedes-Benz models back in the day, and I'm pretty sure the control electronics is from Merc too, because, you know, there WASN'T ANY McLaren production car to borrow one from...
@@bosshunterman he did mention the electronics but I think it must of been the engineering expertise probably
Don't care about the result, LFA please. Bring the noise.
The LFA is my dream car, if only Lexus could pull something like this off again
The LC500 is an amazing car too
It took more than 5 years to get it on that stage that is now... and its not even reliable
They forgot how to make a car like that
I would like that toyota lexus still produce 1 LR-GUE crate engine.
Absolutely one of a kind. Who knew Lexus would make the all time greatest sounding car! Crazy.
LFA still the best sounding internal combustion road car ever .
That V10 howl 👌
among Porsche Carrera GT
@@MyDan36 ... and PAGANI ZONDA (V12)
E60 M5 has entered the chat...
@@rooster16091982 that sounds great, but the lfa is much MUCH better.....I’d argue about the cgt and the zonda though
...and the winner is... the audience, who was able to hear that V10 live on track!!!
LFA: King of sounding 👑 🔊
SLR: A Forgotten Legend 🔥💥🤯
The LFA's sound is just perfect
That V10 😎
1 LR GUE
"Speaking of historic, its over to Tiff"
LOL😂
😂👍
That 722S sounds like a monster
LFA too. Cause it has V10 😉
That V8 rumble! 👌👌
That SLR could probably still keep up with newer supercars with that 3s 0-60 and 217mph top speed
I've just googled think they got it wrong as online it said the 722 0.62 is 3.4 seconds and top speed for the convertible is 197 mph
nothing beats the LFA's F1sounding V10 engine..
Thanks for bringing Mercedes SLR to the show. Would like to see more content of that car in the future
That SLR is gorgeous, still!!!!
lol ugliest car ever
@@albertkelly7129 -LFA fan.

More drag races of slr mclaren 🔥🔥🔥
SLR722s Such an icon 😍👌🏻
Proof that supercars don't have to be mid engined.
Would like to see a 599 GTO go against this 722S. Should be really close.
I never knew the stats for the SLR, they’re insanely impressive!! Great video loved this match up🔥🔥 people will be happy about the second race, usually moan loads about only 1 ‘real world’ drag race😂👍 love Tiff.
Love Cars is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, starting with the Ghost review and now the drag race between two of my favorite cars when I was a teenager. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks Reginald, stay tuned for more! 😎
The LFA definitely sounds absolutely mean.
But for me, it is the 722. Might be an unpopular opinion.
I really love that supercharger whine at 2:40.
And personally, I feel it looks absolutely amazing. Beautiful yet badass at the same time. It just doesn't feel like a car from 2006.
Ayyeeeee soundgasm race this!
Nice interior colour in the LFA.
This is what the world needed :) Thank you, Lovecars, for making it happen :)
Glad you enjoyed it 😎👌
Wonderful! That was a super cool lineup! Can`t get enough of things like that. Great Video!
Thanks Marc 😃
@@lovecarsTV Have a great week with a lot of nice productions ahead!
Two off my favourite legendary cars
Enjoy this much more than the old style of drag. Good work
Yay Thank you Tiff, that you are doing the drag races again.
Please do more drag race and rolling race 🙏🏻
I love the LFA 🤑🤑
Fantastic content! Thank you!
Thanks! 👍😁
You guys are amazing...🔥🔥
Two loveliest cars of petrolheads era 🙌🙌
Lovecars ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video! 👌👌
SLR with those amazing pipes made straight would sound like a WW2 airplane
The same guy owns both cars, that's unreal
You listened and did more then one race👊🏾👊🏾massive respect. Could we get a roll next time?👀
So good to see Tiff again❤️
Stay tuned for more Tiff 😎👍
Such an underrated chanel.You are doing great job guys.
Hands down, 72 please. The LFA sounds great no denying that but.
The V8 lumpiness, the bass, the supercharger wine it's like a choir with the Tenors and the Sopranos at the same time.
Such quality content 👏
Thanks! 😊
Baritone of the SLR and first part from the LFA. Music to my ears.
That V10 in the LFA sounds so good 🔥
These are the 2 best cars ever made, IMO! Nothing comes close to driving ecstasy and feel and emotion than these 2 vehicles for me🤩
just remember that the SLR 722 beat a murcielago SV on top gear, that merci is not joke
I imagine if that LFA had a manual gearbox. What a challenge it would be. From what I saw, it's very hard to control. But the sound is just one of the bests in this world.
JUST PURE LOVE, 2 OF MY MOST LIVED WND NEEDED CARS❤❤❤
SLR every single day, it’s a stunning looking car. I gotta give it to the LFA it’s the most stunning sounding car for
Tiff and a 2nd gear rolling burnout in an LFA yes please. Also not sure if it would have made a big difference but the LFA does have a launch mode.
Yeah but it’s terrible mate. It was more the tyres were worn and greasy conditions. Surface wasn’t ideal either.
I prefer the LFA, all day every day.
SLR is my fave although the LFA does sound good
Dude would've been happy either way, he owns both of them, lucky dude! Tht LFA V-10 scream is something to behold.
Nothing against the M155 in the SLR...but the LFA wins by sound alone. Thanks Tiff
Two of my favorite supercars
The LFA is a masterpiece that engine and handling is superb. The noise is unique. And the quality reminds that will never break down.
The merc sounds better than I remember with the supercharger whine. But the LFA is still one of my favourite sounding cars of all time.
BO55 plates should be banned.
Im picking the LFA for a lap any day of the week, a second or two faster cant compare to that exhaust note!
Whatever to loose the race when you’ve got the sound and the look of the LFA.
2 of my all time favorites
👌👌
Incredible to think that this SLR shares the same transmission as a C55 AMG
That 5G Tronic was tough lol. Smooth and effortless shifts.👌 Even Chrysler used variants of it.
It was tuned by maclaren
Hehhe I had 2x C55's 😄. The engine is also basically the same minus a supercharger and other bits and bobs.
Great content guys. I like orange, I love yellow, but not so sure on the combination together. That being said I would drive a pink LFA if it meant I could get my hands on one. I have to opt for the SLR on this occasion though. Anything associated with Sir Stirling Moss gets my adoration.
0:43 yessssssssss agree.........one like from me...wow the owner sure lucky enough to own both.....suit the name....nailed it
When Tiff's driving (any car), _everybody_ wins.
😁😁
I want that LFA now keep your SLR . What a car that LFA is sweet sound indeed
Jesus that merc is fast
Both are legends 🦇
Tiff could ride a pedal bike and I'd watch it !
Never have I cared less for the faster car. Both are great, but I’m way more of a fan of the LFA
Right
Would like to see a revised version of the LFA... 🙌🏼
Seeing that spoiler rise in his rear view was the sickest thing ever!
As impressive as the SLR is, it's never really done it for me. Would much rather own the LFA!
LFA all day long ❤️
I already new the Merc was gonna win, but I'll take the LFA any day. Amazing car!!!
I don’t even care if the LFA lost what a machine 😍🙌 that sound! Nice vid guys ❤️🙌😎👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 😁👍
@@lovecarsTV you are welcome, not much to not enjoy there, always great videos guys 🙌❤️
We need more lfa videos
The sound of that LFA 😍
Guys, do some roll-ons too in future tests. Might as well!? Cheers.
I think they said this series is dead. Less viewership.
@@nessuno5403 where? What?
@@shr2000 a few videos ago, they left a comment saying so
@@nessuno5403 oh no
even then it would still lose 620hp vs 550+hp.
Win or lose, I love the LFA..
That F40.. ❤️
2 of my favourite cars last 20 years, third one is Pagani Zonda.
Excellent
Love both cars wow such beauties 😍
😎👌
God damn that LFA has to be one of the best sounding cars ever made.
One of the best cars generally
SLR ALL THE WAY!!!
if LFA is an icon so what do you think of the SLR which has a Huge history behind it?!!!
That SLR though. 💙😍
NOTHING BEATS THE LFA FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE AND RESALE IS NUTZ KEEP GOING UP AND UP
Awesome vid LC the sound the lfa makes is rediculous
Thanks John, completely agree the noise is amazing 😁👍
First ever drag race in which I want the German car to beat the Japanese car (bit obvious though that the SLR would win, should've chosen two more equal cars).
I love the LFA to the moon and back, any which car vs LFA, I’ll always pick the LFA
Love the LFA
The LFA sound is pure eargasm
What an awesome sound does a Mercedes SLR have!!! :-)
Hard to choose... Both were the best of the best car in the world... Can't argue more... 😌
This is going to be one the best sounding dragraces of all time
Completely agree Stewart 👍
@@lovecarsTV i Aodre the LFA, who doesnt, but man that SLR its just legendary, like so many of the Supercars and Hypercars from that period; SLR, LFA, Murcielago, Zonda, CarreraGT and Ford GT
I just can't wait to see Tiff behind the wheel of Gordon Murray's new T50...please make it happen
Hoping to see another colab with Mercedes and Mclaren 😆
Formula 1 2021.
My 2 dream cars.
👌👌
Both are my favorite cars
