Yeah, and Tyler rarely keeps cars long enough for them to increase in value, so that probably makes the other two a bit riskier. The SLR is pretty damn cool though...
I drove one. Carbon fiber seats, red leather upholstery - exactly like the one shown. Sounds like a monster and almost makes you afraid to push down more on the accelerator, if you can still reach it after being pushed back in the seat from the G's of acceleration.

The SLS isn't my favorite car either, but I get why it would fit his channel.
@@stephans1990 no they go for 220k at dealerships, I could imagine the cheapest in America could be like 180k which is in the same ballpark as the other 2.

McLaren SLR. I followed a factory fresh one from Woking, where they were made, to Guildford. A gorgeous car and will most likely appreciate in value. I recall Clarkson stating, "At full chat it can empty its fuel tank in 20 minutes." Don't do the Ford GT, great car but Doug DeMuro has one and Clarkson has had one, so they're a bit "common"
I was in a really really crowded and loud restaurant with tons of small children screaming everywhere. An SLR blew past, I could hear its roar crystal clear through all the noise. I would buy that car in Roadster form just to point and shoot everywhere. Absolutely sick noise
I would go with the SLS AMG - last of the naturally aspirated 6.2 V8 engines. The SLR McLaren might be a good buy too, but not nearly as good looking as the SLS.
It’s probably gonna be followed by something along the lines of “It is huge, powerful and indestructible. The only slight issue, would be that it is the car that James May tends to like.”
You should probably avoid the McMerc; parts are insane. Something like $40k for new brakes, $20k for an axle. Its got Merc and Mclaren markup, then doubled just for good measure.
D The Wave How would a completely different car help his decision? Thats like saying, “hey you shouldn’t buy the F430 because someone said the F430 Challenge is a pos to drive and too noisy”
Man I’d give just about anything to get my hands on the Camaro. I love those car and I’m really good at working on the optispark system due to being a technician and having to work on them on almost a daily basis in the past lol. I remember watching the video of the wizard trying to change the fuel pump with trying to just drop the tank and sneak it out and I’m sitting there kinda laughing because I remember tying that my first time and going through the same hell he was.
Hoovie your channel is one of my favorite channels! How did you get your start? Unlike most of the youtubers you ALWAYS add an unexpected humor to your channel. Dude those facial expressions are just downright HI-LA-RI-OUS!!!!
I know this isn't on the list but a BMW Z8 Bond BMW from the early 2000's would be awesome and you could do a bond episode... If not then the gullwing would be a cool car to see you go over.
SLR McLaren for sure!!!! Jeremy Clarkson has always been an inspiration for you! He owned all 3 of your options but the SLR has been the most reliable and his favourite :)
I am a Ford lover, and even I say to go with either of the Mercs. Haven't seen an SLR on a channel and those cars were awesome when they came out. The SLS was one of my favorite cars when it came out and I kind of forgot about it. So I would say either one would be a great choice.
SLS AMG. That was my childhood dream car for so long. Still up in the top five. That's just a crazy car and it'd be insane if you got the black edition.
Is it a Z3 or a Z4, I still haven't figured that out. Don't know my BMW roadsters that well. All i can say with certainty, it's neither a Z1 nor a Z8, because those would've been something special.
Man i was thinking the same. I’ve watched em all right when they’re uploaded if I’m able to, and had no clue it had been that long, would have guessed more like a year possibly
It always freaks me out when Hoovie does recaps because it reminds me how much he's done with his life since I started watching his channel and how litter I've done with mine. Hoovie: bought a new house, got married, had a kid, may have bought a new car or two. Me: is still in college. Still. Also someone please explain to me why I was more interested in the red trailblazer EXT driving past in the back ground then the camaro he was driving lol
Tyler you MUST get that SLR!!! That is a car no RUclipsrs have (at least Daddy Doug doesnt have it), it is a thing of pure beauty on the outside and beastly pure adrenaline under the hood!!

Some great manual cars to consider that are not likely going to depreciate - BMW z8 - Aston Martin DBS (Casino Royal edition) - Ferrari 550 maranello - Audi R8 V10 manual
The SLS AMG!!! It's just gorgeous, great to drive, sounds amazing and you will have fun in it. Gullwing doors won't be done again like that because of weight and safety standards.
@@MrZachgonz yeah the expensive brands cost somehow way less than the average. Probarly because of the ratings. If I'd buy a Porsche right now I'd pay about half of what I'm paying for my old BMW

I remember that
That’s when I subbed as well. Such great content.

"The Phantom didn't depreciate much". Only $1098 a month. Good to be Hoovie.

Domzy DX plus, mclaren might not be around much longer, so that will just add to it's rarity.
SLS AMG, no questions about it!
Edit to add: the cheapest SLS of course!
Absolutely has to be the McLaren SLR. The best sounding car I’ve ever heard, still looks stunning and not many on RUclips. Also a dream car of mine.
Manny koshbin has 6 McLaren SLR
Yeah, the SLR is probably at the bottom of its price parabola as long as he doesn’t wreck it. Those were also a lot of millennial dream cars.

The SLR is one of the best sounding cars ever.
Watched a race variant at Road Atlanta years ago and it was the best sounding car on track, no doubt.
Agreed. I like all AMG engines. :)
Only bested by the Lexus LFA
I was in a really really crowded and loud restaurant with tons of small children screaming everywhere. An SLR blew past, I could hear its roar crystal clear through all the noise. I would buy that car in Roadster form just to point and shoot everywhere. Absolutely sick noise
An LFA is one of the best as well.
Phantom Drophead!!
What up my dudes?
I would follow the order you presented
I'm on the fence. Either the SLR or the SLS. The SLR has always been one of my favorite supercars. That's the one I'm leaning towards.
The SLR is really the one in my opinion, it'll someday go up in value like crazy.
SLR for sure
the SLS was referred to as "the thinking man's super car" by Jeremy Clarkson.
yea, lets see him in the SLR.
@@jorgey4 Most of this man's content involves cars breaking for no reason, which car best expresses this?

SLR Mclaren Tyler, different league to all your other choices, though the Ford Gt comes close.
Owning a Rolls Royce makes sense - said no one ever, except Hoovie.

Well usually the cars he buy end up breaking down all the time lool. Compared to the rest of his cars it's been much more reliable lool
I love how he says nice every time he mentions how much he sold the Phantom for

I would have to agree even though sls is an amazing car the slr is a little more special. But when you see both in person your're gonna want both!

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, my uncle owned one when they where new. I would love to see one on your channel!
SLR and SLS are my dream cars so I can’t really decide but
Just keep dreaming ;)
Apparently the SLR Stirling Moss is absolutely terrible to drive (according to Sabine Schmitz). Maybe that helps in the decision. ;)
