AMG GT has arrived

[rsk21]

I have spent 8 hrs on tracks and airfields in mine now and it's mightily impressive and the best handling car I have ever owned (couldn't comment further than that)

I'd agree that this is the best handling car I've ever driven, on track it is simply fantastic and superior even to a 458.

Would be nice to do more meets in the future to get to know ppl from here

Blue - were you at the Power and Passion event at Spa last year?

 

[Blue78]

Nope, that wasn't me.
Only purchased the C63 in august of this year.

But I do alot of trackdays at Spa (and other tracks) during the year.
(but that's with a E36 M3 and EVO)

Nice one Gary - you and Andrew have certainly got a car that floats my boat. Look forward to hearing from both of you about the ownership experience.

Enjoy

Does this car look bad in any colour? Really nice looking car Gary. Not sure where you are based but hope to see you at a GTC soon.

 

[Palmball]

Another great example Gary

Am I the only tight sod who didn't spec the upgraded wheels

Does this car look bad in any colour?

No, but I'm still glad I swerved Hyacinth red. That colour managed pull off looking both superb and appalling depending on the situation.

For us red fans, this car really needs the SLS's metallic Le Man's red.

 

[garymj]

Thanks guys. I changed my mind on the wheels after seeing them in the flesh so to speak. I think the forged wheels give it the retro look and are very similar to the colour of the car.

Evening all, I've not been around much recently - it's been all-go here the last few weeks: my house build finally completed and I moved in 3 weeks ago (no more being homeless :bannana and I've recently got a new job...so lots keeping me busy.

Quick update on my GT.....aaaand, I've put it up for sale

But fear not, I'm not being quite as bat-sh!t crazy as is usual for me (well, maybe just a bit ). I absolutely love the car, with the exception of my spec blunder ordering it with the Dynamic Plus Pack - it rides damn hard

With that in mind, I just thought I'd test the market - they're still in short supply and most currently for sale are still advertised at above list price. So, I've put mine up for just a little under what I paid and my plan is either:

- If it doesn't sell for my asking price, I won't sell it.

- If it does sell, I'll either:

a) buy another GT S, but without the Dynamic Plus Pack

or

b) buy one of these

Just a left field option that I might consider because I've always liked these and ones at the bottom end of the market appear to be reasonably good buys - 2 year warranty, reminder of 7-year (!) service pack and someone else has already taken the cost of my GT in depreciation That said, my history of Italian cars isn't great (my previous Maserati Grantursimo and all it's cr@pness anyone?). I'm also not sure I prefer it to.....

I do love the FF! Have you driven one?

 

[The _Don]

We all know it's not the suspension that is bugging you, transplant the m156 in to your Gt ( as fitted to the Amg Gt3 ) and your life will once again be complete.

:0)

 

[Simon_M]

Tell me which is the better looking car? GT or FF? The FF looks dated.

But as usual, you make me smile - enjoy your new home and car whatever the outcome.

Check out the YouTube channel Shmee150, he recently picked up an FF and has made many detailed videos on it.
