I have read that the SLR is supposed to compete with the Veyron. Is this accurate? They do not seem to be similar enough to compete. Here is a Veyron article:
Hello,
I suppose Michelin has come up with road tyres that endure the 250mph and daily abuse. I shan't be surprised to see Brabus, Renntech, and AMG increasing the terminal speed of their products to more than 185mph...

The Veyron has severe problems with the aerodynamics so the top speed will be limited to 330 km/h = 205 mph.
Yes, it will.
But there will - later - be a CLK-DTM replica with also more than 600 PS from the supercharged 5.5-litre V8 engine; price of ti will be roughly 230.000 Euro, the SLR will cost roughly 450.000 Euro.

That depends on the cost. I dont think AMG drivers will be paying $2k per tire if thats the cost. SLR Drivers will as will Veyron.
