A group of guys from Poland built a Mercedes SLR from an old circa-1980s Benz chassis. They took pics! http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=848531

its amazing hwo fast stuff spreads around the internet now. That is one awesome project. Cost him about 75.000 euro, which is about 89-90K US dollars. Very unique. Specs are right on, even though it might look short, its just the pics.
