I will just say I got extremely lucky, it is possible to sign up at the web site. I highly recommend it, great people and the cars are freaking crazy.

I actually got to drive the SLR, SL65, SL500, and AMG SLK55
The torque on the SL65 is unreal.

Here is a website with more info:

The SLR and SL65 are insane, they actually let me disable the traction control and it was tire destruction. The SLR is crazy because it pics up speed so fast yet is still smooth.

So what was it like when you get back in your Cobra, just not the same anymore? :)

For some reason the car looks like the penis car from "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" on SNL.

Its weird I thought I would more impressed with the power but it was actually the steering, brakes, and how smooth the cars handled that impressed me the most. Although when you put your foot to the floor on a 600+ hp car its an experience that has to be felt, words just don't do it justice. When I got back in the Cobra it seemed unruly and uncivilized. The SLR would would be more of a scalpel and the Cobra is more like a hammer.
