oh dear. Had to stop watching after 1.16s... Too painful to continue watching.

I'm gutted, i'm going to cancel my order

Not a fair race.

GTS is over 130hp down on a car that is very light with carbon tub, etc...


I do love the 650S though , i'd have one over the 458 any day.

It better be much quicker, its twice the price.

Next lets compare a Nissan Cube with a audi R8.

Damn, that video's going to really spoil my enjoyment as I rock around in my GT

Less than THREE weeks to go and the car arrives at the dealer on Monday :bannana:

 

[acej]

I think I will cancel mine.

 

[rsk21]

Hang on ! Are you telling me that not only doesn't this car have an M156 engine it's also slower than a car costing up to £100k more ? How on earth have we all been so stupid ?????!!!! We're lucky you're about on here Don to save us all from ourselves.

 

[Palmball]

But wait.....

Just imagine how slow it'd be with the M156/9

Doesn't bear thinking about

If the Amg Gt bs has the same engine as this one I might consider one, makes you wonder why they omitted the 4.0 tt ) http://www.topgear.com/car-news/motorsport/close-merc’s-amg-gt3-racer

 

[Palmball]

I will eat my shoe if any road-going GT gets the 6.2. The 4.0 is different for sure, but theres nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

However, after gleefully stating earlier that I pick up my car in a couple of weeks, I got an email today saying theres production delays and it won't arrive at the dealer until 7th September. So pick up will be 8/9th at best

 

[acej]

Andrew mine ships on the 31st and I have been told it arrives on the 9th so we maybe on the same container

 

[Palmball]

Certainly sounds like it

I ordered mine in November.....when did you order yours?
